There is nowhere else where jobs are handed out without careful scrutiny as to training and ability to do the job. Yet, we do it constantly with elected officials. Just as the Bible has been outdated as many rules for morality and integrity do not fit this century, so have the duties of the Legislators demanded specific qualifications that are not being met. When men are put on a science committee who do not believe scientists or research results, it should not surprise anyone that these practices have shaken the foundation of our democracy.
We cannot claim that we currently follow the rules of democracy yet we have the gall to try to teach other countries to follow us. Can we not see they only want our taxpayer's money and not our way of life? We have a broken government yet we have the hubris to pretend to the world that we know we are better than they. Our own people are barely surviving (unless you are in the top 2%) yet we plan to give away millions to assist Syrian rebels. Who appoited us to save the world single-handedly.
American militias have planned revolution for decades now. I'm content for them never to act on that urge. It makes me wonder if they are confused about that for which they should be fighting or against whom.
Meanwhile, as thousands lose their jobs and the Republicans allow the slow gains in the economy we have achieved under President Obama's leadership, to get undone, our progress is halted. We must obey the self-serving elected who care more about pleasing those behind their campaign funding than the lives of their fellow citizens.,
