Hey I know I and many may fit somewhere in there. I also know I write a little hard for some but hey at least consider it, not the style. Now I will present this article from the standpoint that those in power are really good men. Hey short of the adulterers, fornicators, thieves, conniving, coveting and greedy types for the most part people are good and decent. Hey just ask their families.
So if we take a long hard look at the world and sit back and ponder we come to the conclusion man cannot help themselves. Can it be anymore evident in the history of man, failure after failure and usually all over the very same things, wealth and power. People elect leaders or have them forced upon them and those leaders chose the path, the destiny of literally billions. If we believe in them and what they say we follow. That is why they relate to us as, bovine, cattle, oxen, sheep, beasts of burden and labor. We place our trust and our hope in them. Two very huge words for mankind trust and hope. These leaders many times look and sound good. Yes so did Hitler to the Germans. He came wrapped as a patriot and for intents his dream was only about Germany. Oh and yes how the rest of the world was to adapt. If I recall it was "a new world order"? A global order with Germany at the center, hum?
So when we take a real look at our leaders they are persons of wealth, right? They are interested in wealth and making more of it. The go to the very best schools, right, so they can't claim they don't know? They have all the world has to offer, so like I say, they either got it via the silver spoon or they must be smart, right, intelligent, right? Perhaps a "Godfather" or two? They must also be good because, well they do what they do for our good, right? The common good, right, or are they Good men, but bad ideology, or confused good men whose perspective, ideals and concepts are distorted, wrong, not functional?
How do we judge that since we are not to judge the person? Well we are in the midst of a terrible situation our nation is going through. Our nation has been plundered, yes plundered and many do not see it. Were not the rich sitting back carelessly when the French Revolution struck? Was our nation not formed on the same neglect? Was the Czar not overthrown in Russia because he neglected his people? Were not empires lost for greed and selfishness and many in a night. So is it possible our nation is really hurting in many ways and on the very brink of falling? Certainly you may not be experiencing it as others are, now that is, but you will be and soon. People, businesses banks are hurting. You see no jobs = no pay, no pay = no buy, no buy = no credit and on and on and on. That means closings, lost jobs, Foreclosures, repo's, layoff's, reduced taxes and who will pay? Yes who, that is right those that have. Now your thinking.
The signs and symbols are there to be seen or neglected, your choice. When they speak of things that they will do, that is future tense, why is it never done now? When they talk of jobs, what jobs? What will they pay well and better yet who will get them? When they talk about lowering fuel prices, when and how? Alternative fuel and energy just a thought at this date, how long must we wait? What jobs will that produce if any and for who once again. Is it Good men, but bad ideology, or confused good men? Do you see it different, then why any different then the experts?
Now I truly believe they see us all, that is the entire world, as cattle and therein lies the error or the deed. Yes my opinion, but I ask you to revue why I hold that opinion. Look at what goes on and you will see we have a very definite plan, action unfolding right before us. It may not be the right plan but it is there for all to see who want to or look. You will see an immediate bailout of private investors but you will not see immediate action to help average people, the sick, the elderly, the poor, no, they get immediate cuts, reduced services. You will and have not seen any movement to bring down usury on Credit Cards, why? Could it be money? Why do we still use the term immigration when in fact and truth it is not? Is it Good men, but bad ideology, or confused good men?
Why in Gods name do good people and professing people continue to elect these same leaders who brought us to this brink of disaster? To think this is not a disaster is to be, well in my opinion, ignorant of everything that is going on all about you. Do you not see your neighbor's plight or is it they brought it upon themselves? So, once again, just how does anyone justify voting for these same types, yes the very same ones who have been in office 4, 5, 10, 20 or more years and who are the architects of this mess, the designers, the planners and implementors of what we have. Is it because they pass it off to "Those Washington Types"? Well what are they?
Rhetorically speaking can it be either that we have Good men, but bad ideology, or confused good men, or corrupt, greedy, powerful and shrewd men who seek to control us all, or a mixed bag? What else can it be? And even if we eliminate the last portion of the sentence and say they are good men but have bad ideology or are confused, how can we still vote for them?
Well that answer comes from each of us who vote. That 50% of all registered voters who vote every election and vote for them. The other 50% or so who do nothing, well they vote as well, by proxy. They don't care, they just gripe.
So if we use common sense, of which who knows anymore the definition of that, just what works have these politicians done to convince you that they can bring back good American jobs, cancel what 81% of us don't want [comprehensive immigration] lower fuel prices, get us out of a war honorably, not get us involved in another war, rebuild our infrastructure, etc, etc, etc. and not placate the powerful international and national corporations and continue to make trade deals that hurt America?
I find no answers from those writing to support these types. They talk all around the issues, they never address the issues, they never speak to the issues. All they provide is fluff why they like so and so but never do they answer the issues. Yes like the politicians, they have no real answers because sadly there are no more real answers, just hope, last ditch efforts, hanging on. Why, well to be honest jobs are gone, lower fuel prices years away, alternative energy years away, Foreclosures for the average Americans and more middle class right after the election and Comprehensive Immigration rewards and The North American Treaty ratified as well. Listen my friends and you shall hear. Yes the Golden Goose has died and the wealthy are looking for a new one, pass the rice please.
So I do believe these are what the title implies?Yes, why because they see us all as bovine, cattle, needing to be led. That was never what made America great, never. It was individual thinking not the robotic method of the world. They promote this ideology as required to maintain peace, markets, prosperity yes for us all, us cattle, but to do that well, so long America. It is as simple as that. Think. If we had not dismantled piece by piece this land where would these other nations be? They talk of emerging markets well we helped them emerge after thousands of years in stagnation. The truth is before all to know but as it says in the Bible they see but they are blind.
It is all facts my friends you can ignore or not. So is it Good men, but bad ideology, or confused good men, who knows? The only thing I can end with is this question, why do you want more of the same and the answer to that is, you have yours and get this, you really don't think, as yet, it is going to go anywhere? Time will tell, time will tell. To say you have no choice, well it is a cop out, period. The lessor of two evils, wow, what does that say, I don't care if it is evil. Wow, or better yet, MOO.

House and. Senate to have 12-consecutive-years term limits, keeping the 8-consecutive-years limit for presidents.Please log in to respond to this comment.Jane.
