Once again the Politicians, Republican and Democrat, posture and pontificate, ponder and propose, and WE wait.
We are told tall tales, short stories, lies, fabrications and half truths. We are told that in the name of the Flag, or the Constitution on behalf of Jesus, or the Old Testament, according to the will of our fore fathers that no one really knows the needs of American than the people elected by the Americans how best we all should live or survive. Then we are told that not ALL elected officials really know best, just the elected officials of a particular political party can be trusted.
And the media reports on all the excess noise, never the quiet of truth. And the hooligans holler and scream calling people names like Nazi, or Socialist or Fascist. We never learn our lessons from name calling of the past and some self anointed "true" Americans now honor Joe Mc Carthy and say he was right. They say WE need to rid the country of the ENEMY. And the ENEMY is always someone who looks different, thinks different, and must be different, cause they "ain't" like ME.
And we wait.
How long must we wait for fairness and rights? How long must we wait for honesty and honor? How long must we wait until those elected to office realize they work for the people who elected them? How long do we wait for Health Care or Marriage Equality, or Jobs, or receiving the same kind of treatment Wall Street, or CEO's or AIG, got? How long do wait for people to say I lied, I led you on, I did this to promote my way, my life, ME.
How long until we find out that many of those in charge see the ME they care about as not you or I?
And we wait.
And wait, and wait, and wait.....
