Leaders, or Are They?

I wrote not to offend anyone but to express my disbelif and yes opinion on the sad state of this nation. Frustration perhaps, anger certainly, disgust yes, but truth no less. In my opinion this current batch of leadership are either the most totally inept supposedly educated bunch this nation has ever seen and at every level of government, or they are the most corrupt liars this nation has ever seen. Rhetorically can they be both? That opinion was formed by experience and on the facades they perpetuate upon citizens at every level local, state and national. Need one go down article by article, law by law, deed by deed, inaction by inaction or do most of us, the majority, feel the same? Sadly many like them and sadly many are like them.

In my opinion now and rhetorically of course, how could any decent person align themselves with any of them? It is beyond me. Do they look good in their elegant expensive custom suits, ties, shoes or dresses. Their hair neatly groomed and custom contoured the image always impeccable. Always a smile, always a hand shake, always a promise, always God, country, nation even while they do the opposite. My God what more do we need? Love you, really? Rhetorically one can ask just how do they face themselves each day, how? How do they still believe int he destruction they cause? Is it for the greater good or dream or ideology? To destroy people?

So I for one have no need to write to them at any level any longer for it will not change until Americans make change. They are in my opinion totally of the world. To judge based on their works, the fruit of their labor is not sin, it is reality. Yes and to place hope and trust in them, they who destroy, pillage, ruin, exploit, good, decent families and people, trust them? They in my opinion who mismanage budgets and who are the real irresponsible and whose record demonstrates that. Some say give them a chance? My God what have they done with the chance given them for decades. Do any of you have an answer?

Please give us a break, like the Sunshine State, not by nature of anything, yes anything, that they profess to help people. In my opinion, by first hand knowledge and experience, a facade so large there are no words to describe it. It basically is summed up with this "find yourself a lawyer" and sue them in civil court. Do they want to save dollars? Well here is a hint. In my opinion start with any number of state agencies right on down the line, except Department of Children and Families. The rest can all go and the deficit will be saved and they can give it to DCF to help people.

Yes I defy them by experience and facts, in writing and time, after time, after time. Yes and opinion once again the sad fact is they know it and they really do not care. Why, their sights, regardless of what is professed by mouth, is not on who they profess, but what is off this world.

Yes, I for one will not accept it any longer. The lies, deceit, the half truths, the labeling, the blatant redirection or avoidance. You can certainly by your choice, free choice, free opinion, yet I for one am through. I sicken when I hear or see them. I have to humbly pray for forgiveness because of that disgust in them and I am forced to pray for them.

When a bank can show up at your door to serve papers when you never or ever had any dealings with them and on a person dead 5 years who sold a home years ago and never had dealings with them either goes to show you the extent of corruptness of all who serve mammon. When a store can force you to buy in their store even when you paid cash and want it back. When interest at 34.9% is not usury even when legal. When illegal is called immigration, When they bailout the wealthy while choking people and smile, laugh, lie before you and the God they profess. Well simply speaking you can have them and you got them.

Not an evil age, my God where have you been? How do you define that? How do you come to that conclusion?

I agree. The current crop of political leaders are grossly inadequate and boundlessly negligent. However, there's enough criticism. We now need alternatives that exist outside the current sphere of conventional politics.

Maximilian I agree with your comments. However, I see no one out there with the foresight or vision to get the job done, no not one. They, yes even the worlds leaders, at least the free world and many leaders from third world nations who attended Western Schools, have the same ideology, perspective and solutions. Others indoctrinated into their own belief systems we consistently class with. The fundamentals so necessary are involved with character and truth. Once set on that course the actions stemming from that will stem equality and justice for all. In that is the chance for all men to live in peace and provide.  Thanks for commenting.
