I Have Gotten Hell Over My Political Views

Most of my political views aren't all that popular. Especially when it comes to things like Welfare, The War on Drugs, This country's military's growing role as a World Policing Force, among other politically devise talking points.

I guess I'm best described as a liberal Democrat that holds fast to many Republican talking points at times. Especially as it concerns Gun Rights, American Family Values, the extraction and use of American Natural Resources, and the redefining of American Excellence in the manufacturing and production sectors.

Be that as it may, and despite what others might think of me or my politics, I consider myself to be a well informed, free-thinking, Independant.

I view the 2 established major parties as completely out of touch and pretty much incapable of working together towards the common goal of making this country Stronger, Richer, More Equitable, and Grounded in a solid sense of Morality and true,unbiased, Justice.

In fact, it's my unprovable opinion that every Federal, and almost all Local lawmakers and politicians are corrupted to a varying degree. They work in near total secrecy. Under suspect motives, towards suspect goals, and have no problem lying about things in order to achieve their own suspect agendas.

With perception being the better part of reality..., who's to say I'm wrong about that ?

In short, American politics are nothing short of a propagated falsehood working in a manner not consistent with the betterment of the American populace. Instead they work more towards the betterment & proliferation of the tiniest of minorities population wise. That of themselves and the richest and most well-to-do persons there are. And if that's not bad enough, they've taken to including caring for elite foreign entities and persons of power to be more important than many of our own, most glaring, domestic issues that threaten the future security, sovereignty, & posterity of this theoretically great nation of The United States of America.

Regardless of the facts..., in ignorance of our most immediate needs..., despite the clamoring wails of a populace for action and unity...., today's politicians lack the moral fiber, inner fortitude, and willingness to do:
*The Right Thing for The Right Reasons.*

It's a truly disappointing, disheartening, and otherwise embarrassing state of affairs, to be sure.

Hopefully the next generation will take it upon themselves to become:
Educated to the facts.
Free thinking individuals capable of considering facts and ideas beyond what's offered to them through the financially secured media.
People that stand up for themselves, others, human rights, and this country (of which they are vested).
Adults who use their right to vote and be heard, to take back control of the body politic and restore it to it's possible ability and glory.
The generation that recreates this country into what it was intended to be.

The Greatest, Most Enlightened, and Compassionate Country in the World.

Thanks for reading.

You are spot on in your analysis of politicians in my opinion. I saw a post a few months ago, where it was suggested that they were suits like nascar drivers, with the logos of the corporations who own them on display. The corporations now decide what the politicians are going to do, it is no longer a government for the people.
