Yesterday I wrote briefly about political electioneering. Today I
want to mention that Congress, even after all the negative publicity
about lobbying, has done nothing to stop the taking of gifts from
lobbyists, who number about 66 per each member of Congress. It is
obvious that most politicians are out of touch with the interests of
their constituents, and have allowed themselves to become corrupted.
What I consider to be particularly egregious behavior is for
politicians to play the “religious” game in order to assure their
election. To get the vote, all they have to do is assure their
“Christian” constituents that they are “pro life.” (Of course by “pro
life” they mean “unborn human life” only.) The hypocrisy is so obvious I
don’t know how these crooks can keep a straight face and resist laughing
as they speak before their audiences of “suckers” who are such easy
pickings.
The pastors of “Christian” churches provide the brainwashed “sheep”
in this unholy alliance of political corruption. These willing “sheep”
are led to believe that there are absolutely no other choices available
at election time but the ones their pastors approve; and that anything
negative they might hear about these “Christian” politicos is simply to
be dismissed as a lie from the “liberals.”
We need to take responsibility for ourselves, for other animals, and
for the environment. We need to wake up and stop being led by these
self-serving charlatans. If we keep them in power, we’ll only have
ourselves to blame as they continue to allow God’s creation to be
destroyed by their short-sighted greed and arrogance. We need to vote
for the most qualified candidates, regardless of their political party
affiliation.
