Let’s Get Off Our Knees.

When are we as people, going to let go of the idea that we have to look up or pay homage to people in public service.

 

We call people the first family, the first lady or maybe the first dog just because of their connection to the president. The president is merely a position imparted on a person supposedly by population of the country. He is a hired employee to be respectfully scrutinized and evaluated while he conducts the business of the country to benefit all or as much of the population as possible.

 

The truth is there is no first family, royal families, saviors, messiahs or anything of the sort. These are just people that we voted in or were born in to a position that doesn’t actually exist.

 

The president, representatives, senators and all people in positions of authority are employees.

 

NOT GODS or KINGS

 

We have to see them as they are, human, flawed people ( not all good and Not all bad.)whose first obligation is to themselves and their own families. We have to drop the idea that they will be selfless in their efforts within their position.

 

THEY WON’T BE

 

When we start acting like they are public servants that work for us instead of acting as if their superior and we are there subjects then things will change.

 

TIME TO TAKE OFF THE DISNEY GLASSES

Behind the Mask

It seems to me that Donald Trump is the face of politics as it is today (with out the mask).

It is what our political system, government and judicial system has become.

His rhetoric is common thought throughout our government but it’s traditionally hidden behind a mask of selflessness, charisma and devotion to the American public.

Once in office many of our political figures say and do whatever is necessary to divert our attention from the sinister and violent atrocities that are perpetrated everyday in our name.While pointing fingers at the party across the aisle for doing the same thing.

They mesmerize us with soundbites, charismatic speeches that are written by professionals. Speeches containing information that is based not so much on their truth as it is on public appeal, that is determined by professional polling companies.

They lead us around like children captivated by shiny objects and toys while frequently scaring us when necessary in order to keep us in check.
Great sums of money and effort is spent to divert our attention away from what is happening to a more palatable Illusion of righteousness.

If you look around you see that we’ve been in wars since 2003 or thereabouts to this very moment. These wars started by Republican and sustained and expanded by politicians in both parties.

The blood is on everybody’s hands including the people of the United States. If we haven’t condoned it, but we have absolutely not protested it enough.

Why aren’t we putting our energy and protesting the dirty water poisoning our citizens and many of our towns.

Where other protesters when a man or woman is arrested or prosecuted for growing vegetables in their own yards.

Where the protesters for the man who is jailed for collecting rainwater, or taking steps to take his home off the grid.

Why are we showing the prosecution of corrupt police while also showing the faces in the names of those that are heroic and conscientious.

Why is most of our protests focused on only the most stylish of issues that happens to be getting attention at the time.

The curtain is been pulled back folks, we have to face the truth.

We have to use the power of the frustration of our people by focusing it in clearheaded protest. Rise up vigorously and nonviolently, or making all our voices heard and holding the politicians and everyone in government accountable.

Now that most people is woken up maybe we can get to work and clean this mess up.

WE ARE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER

Intuition Before Interpretation.

So many people are upset about what Donald Trump said at the inaugural event yesterday.
He said, we are going to put AMERICA FIRST again. A lot of the new shows grabbed onto that as an opportunity to upset people, by calling it a dark speech because he is telling people to believe America is better than anyone else. Telling them to believe no one else matters other than America.

I can tell you right now that Donald Trump is probably one of the worst speakers we have ever had as a presidential candidate.
But if you take a minute you can realize that if nothing else Donald Trump is a family man, extremely proud of family and accomplishments.
If you look at it from that point of view and put yourself in that position as if America was your family. When you go to your child’s sporting events do not cheer on your child’s performance.

     Are you not hypersensitive that your child is treated fairly.
In times of difficulty do you not focus on your family’s well-being ahead of all others.

If you’re at a lake and to children’s are drowning one of them is yours which one would you save if you couldn’t save both.

From what I can see this is his focus.
In my opinion whether you love him or hate him to bust him for saying, we will put AMERICA FIRST is a prejudice against the man not a statement or vision.

Blame the System

 

We all need to realize that we have a system set in place that eventually turns out a president or vice president. In that system is electoral process, delegate process/primaries etc. both of these processes allow for the decision of the person elected to be made by people that don’t necessarily have to vote the will of the people in their district.

What we have today in the Congress, and White House as a result of that system however flawed it may be. You don’t have to like it, few of us do. But it is what we have. You may feel the need to whine and complain, allow yourself to fill with rage and maybe even make yourself sick with fear and anger. Is it really going to help?

If you don’t want this type of outcome, if you don’t believe that the system is giving the country what it needs. Then it would be important to change the system instead of complaining about the outcome.

Maybe in the primaries if we didn’t have delegates or super delegates, the people’s vote would matter more. In the general election if we change the Electoral College system so that the popular vote has more weight maybe the vote of the people would matter more.

But as it stands the elections are over and we have what we have. It is useful to note, that almost every president that is ever been elected has been threatened with impeachment. No one has actually been taken out of office. Pres. Andrew Johnson and Bill Clinton were the only ones impeached by the US House of Representatives but they were subsequently acquitted by the Senate. So if impeachment is your call you can rest assured that it’s probably not going to work.

Now’s the time to have hope, give benefit of the doubt, and pay attention to the issues at hand. If you see an issue that going the wrong way, a politician that’s going against what you think is right for the country. Protesting that would be energy well spent.

It is the pressure on the issues, changing of the system and holding politicians accountable that will do more to change the world, than any tantrum or mean-spirited rhetoric ever will.

Cleaning up the Press.

Free press in the early days was important as a type of watchdog system. And it worked.
The press was known to out anyone they could but watched the validity of their stories.
Today our mainstream media is owned by corporations, that while posing as credible news organizations will pump up, bury or outright lie to slant things toward their agenda.
This is the behavior that is tearing apart our society.
There has always been terrorists, bigots and radical organizations that had radically hateful points of view.
But they are on the forefront now. Why?
Because fear sells even better than sex.
The more afraid folks are the better the ratings and the easier it is to slant economic and political views.
They need to be held accountable and forced to the absolute accuracy or to label whatever is an opinion as just an opinion.
And that’s my opinion.😉

Don’t Just Wake up America, Grow up

It seems kind of ridiculous to me that every time something goes wrong in this country, or even in the world they right away begin complaining that the president wasn’t there or wasn’t commenting yet.

The president’s job isn’t to be everybody’s dad. Are we so immature and shortsighted that we need him to tell us how to act?How to think? What to believe?

When something horrendous happens it isn’t going to change anything if the president comments one way or another.

Do we need him to tell us that it’s good or that it’s bad or how he’s going to save us from it?

Isn’t it about time that folks just make their own decisions, join organizations that help situations that are dear to them. Instead of waiting and wanting change in their lives without any real effort of their own?

The president is there to  be the representative of this country. When dealing with other  countries is there to deal with them according to our policies and interests. He is there to try to bring the country forward into a more fair and productive state of being. Not to save us from ourselves.

I heard it said, that the president sets the tone for the country.They said that his opinions and what he says affects the populations’ views.It seems to be true to an extent with much of the population.

How sad is that?

To me it’s the need of this parental type belief system that has destroyed the fabric of this nation.

In my opinion, it’s time for Americans to not only wake up but also to grow up.

The Big Picture

The American people would do well to stop focusing so much on who’s the president and more on the system as a whole. The president isn’t the whole problem or solution.

Just because a president is “for” something doesn’t mean he gets it. There are enough people in and out of government that will see to that.

For example many people are for Senator Bernie Sanders and say for: “I like his honesty and integrity but I don’t want to live in a socialist country”

The likelihood of him being able to turn the U.S into a socialist government is slim to none. But in the process of him trying to do that we may be able to develop a system that employs the best of both systems.

What if we could offer government-funded health care but instead of it being paid for by raising the taxes of working families and small business. It gets funded through the raising taxes on multibillion dollar corporations that are at this point exporting jobs and not paying their part. After all, most of the research and technological advancements have been made through government grants paid for by the average American taxes. To not allow everyone to benefit short-sighted and greedy.

Also with college tuitions: if we are going to compete in the world markets our population needs to be educated and we need as many people as possible involved in our growth and sustenance.  To limit it to just those who with the resources to afford it leaves a huge untapped resource that resides in the population of the under privileged.

We should focus on the honesty and integrity of the candidate in every office not just one that says what we want to hear but is riddled with scandal and proven lack of conviction.

If we want a system we can count on then we need a government staffs with people who are held accountable.

Beware of the Puppet Master

puppet-world

We do not really live in a free society.

We have a one person one vote Democratic system, but the information that is needed for a person to intelligently utilize their vote is slanted in the direction of special interest through media manipulation.
We very seldom if ever get all the information available. The politician that is honest and is absolutely there for the best interest of the American people is pushed back marginalized and kept from any real media attention.
We aren’t under a dictator as is normally thought of,  it isn’t a tyrant with an iron fist type of government.
But our society is absolutely controlled in the way of the Puppet Master, with corporation’s holding the strings.
If you are voting the best of two evils you are dancing for the Puppet Masters
If your voting a party and not the integrity of the person running for office you are dancing to the will of the puppet master.
If you don’t realized that you are taxed to death now through the multitude of taxes that are leveled on us and continue to worry about just the one tax (income Tax) the you are dancing on the corporate strings.
There are absolutely great people with the desire to make things work for everyone. but they will never be able to do it unless the puppets cuts the strings.
