In Washington DC, the Beltway and the adjoining commuter counties, times are a’booming. Construction cranes dot the horizon in every direction. On the noon-time and after-work playing fields, at the restaurants, clubs, and constant soirees. It’s a big party full of youth and vitality. The streets are really paved with gold.
And that’s where the Courts live, the officials live, the legislators, the prosecutors, the investigators. Under Obama the money pumps are working overtime, golden sparkling slush pours down every alley, sidewalk, metroline, and hallway.
Outside of Golden Areas of the Capital and suburbs the unenlightened, the low castes, the troglodytes, the dullards, the serfs, the better-for-nothing live, the vile, the worthless, the brutes, the dirty ad smelly. The unmentionable in polite conversation. Do those outside of DC have any ideas worth listening to — of course not. Their so-called ideals absolutely ridiculous.
It is a city built all of hubris and delusion. A very mean self-indulgence dressing up in pretty clothing, in youthful skin, in intoxicating perfumes.
To that place, the most evilly conniving are drawn like flies to offal.
What does not increase one’s pension and benefits package is ignored, whatever threatens those “well-deserved and earned” forever sinecures is to be quashed ruthlessly. That is the mindset of “our betters”, the “elite” in DC.
Of course Obama is celebrated, protected. His malevolence and great con only increase their wealth, and prosper the federal civil servant of every level — from the lowest brown collar GAO broom and mop carrier to the ultra-swank dressing expensive briefcase carrying Chief Justice of US Supreme Court, and all worthies who appear before him or any tribunal in the Capitol.
No matter the harm and wreckage the rest of us suffer, the despair, the loss of all hope, where every change is for the more bleaker and harsh a turn ... they party on, insouciantly. The lesser we, the greater they.
The perfect play for a great con-man. Plays to those caught in overweening hubris ALWAYS work. Candy from a baby. Bags of candy from the playrooms.
That post is stunning, and deserves more eyes and, importantly, the power of many praying to the Almighty for His grace and protection against these evils. Your great insight is borne out in its stark, graphic, deadly accuracy. Beyond all belief, this is tragically our reality. Lord, have mercy on us, save our nation.
That is the single most poignant sentence in your post.
Most people will not understand it, who have not worked in the government or know people who work there.
I have worked for the government and this is their entire reason for being at work- to see how they can pad their time, get overtime, additional sick days accrued, comp time accrused, vacation days accrued, and the last 3 years they 'work' as many possible hours as they can so that their retirement income is maximized (it is based on their last 3 years salary average).
People who work in the private sector have to do ACTUAL work every day, and can not imagine sitting around trying to manipulate a rule system so that their boss has to pay them more.
This just does not happen, anywhere except in the government.
Well said sir. A stark reminder of the truth.
And winter is coming. Who will survive the storms I wonder. I have to hope it is us...
