What frustrates me greatly is that it’s obvious if people would only take off the idol worship blinders.

People want and need heroes. I get that. It’s human nature. But when it blinds people to the truth we have a hell of a problem.

If we want something different than the path we are collectively on as a country, we have to look at why we are on that path. It’s easy to blame Democrats and they certainly deserve it. However they only do what they do because they are allowed to. And who is allowing that?

The lesser evils we elected. People can bitch all they want about me saying that daily. It does not alter the facts. We elected them because we were told the dem was worse.

Is the Dem worse? No one on earth can prove that when the GOP has given them all they wanted. Abortion, Terror funding. Continuing resolutions. Several rounds of funding Obamacare. We all lived through it all. We all know.

So who was it that told us to elect the very people that campaigned on working with Barry? Who created the fear that the Dem was going destroy the country? It wasn’t the Dem. The Dem does what the Dem always does. It was not those of us that stood on principle and said “If you elect evil, you get evil.”

It was our own ‘heroes’. It was our Rush Limbaughs and Mark Levins and Ann Coulters and the rest. I don’t begrudge them making their money. But I do begrudge them for saying one thing and doing another.

We bitch at Mitch for promising A and delivering B when the senate votes. We bitch at Bhoner/Ryan for Promising A and Delivering B when the House votes.

Should we not hold our heroes to the same standard? Should we ignore their actions I rehashed in prior posts? Not unless we want to be like DU and stick our ostrich heads in the sand and our fingers in our ears, living out some fantasy.

Everyone promised feet to the fire. I have always maintained that should start at home. We need to clean our own house of this crap before telling our neighbor his yard stinks. It might be an unpopular notion but I don’r see how it is anything but age old conservatism.

You have a lot of sterling points. Unfortunately, our culture of what you call hero worship is promulgated with the constant “star status” of certain individuals which creates that person’s cults. Individualism has been constantly trashed and pounded into submission for the past umpteen number of years in favor of go along to get along policy and P.C. brain washing which deprive people of their willingness and/or ability to stand alone against the crowd. What made our country great, her greatest attributes, are being relegated to the trash bin of history. I would rather have an imperfect leader with the right instincts on the MAJOR issues facing our nation, than a perfect snow white wishy washy follower who will just dig us deeper in the mire we now occupy.
I am dead set against the New World order and the United Nations Agenda 21,and The Law of the Sea Treaty, among other things. Ted Cruz’s foul up on two major votes and his support of TPP shows me he is less interested in our national Sovereignty than I would desire and in fact, insist upon. So I support Trump who is a seasoned fighter with the right instincts and tools while Cruz continues to learn and I hope, strengthens his loyalty to “The American Way.”
