The issue is moral character, not political ideology. I can respect a person for their beliefs and
their political leanings in whatever direction that might be, but I cannot
condone a behavior which at its core is corrupt and based in moral
turpitude. Whether it was Kennedy,
Nixon, Clinton, or currently Trump, the idea that we can let behavior go unchecked
because of low unemployment or a thriving economy is just insane. The economy often moves forward regardless of
the character of a person in the Oval office, because we can no more credit the
good times to one person than we can blame the bad times on one person.
Today our democracy is in peril and it is so because of the
focus on both sides to do what is convenient for “self” rather than what is
good for America. While the efforts of
both sides doubles down it is the American People that suffer. Nothing of significance is being accomplished
in Washington nor is it likely to change.
Even these words are useless in provoking change. They merely act as foot stomping against a
concrete surface. There is no ripple
effect. The best I can do is throw my
hands up in frustration and hope that a larger, more formidable entity will see
my desperation.
