Sometimes the hypocrisy of my leaders turns my stomach. If you’ve read my previous posts, I hope you’ve come away with the impression that, while I’m opinionated, I’m old enough to embrace true freedom of speech which means I don’t believe in censoring you because you don’t agree with me. I’m also conservative in my values, believe in definite right and wrong, and personal responsibility. Yes, I’m a charismatic Christian and while I identify with a particular party, I do not vote blindly along party lines. I research and vote for the candidates I believe have America’s best interests at heart rather than their personal agendas.

If you’ve read this far, and are still reading, let me get on with saying what I need to say. I’m tired of hearing my Congresspeople whine about how traumatized they still are by the January 6 “insurrection” or whatever you want to call it. Yes, the situation got out of hand. No, I don’t think the peaceful protestors intended what happened to happen. Nor do I think the majority of them got swept up in the madness. However, I do think radical elements got involved and they should be tracked down and punished. I don’t have a problem with that.

What I do have a problem with is this witch hunt that is continuing to drag on and on according to political and media driven agendas. Bluntly, there was enough intel in enough time to prevent the madness from happening. The politicians in charge of that chose not to take the necessary steps to ensure that so they bear as much responsibility for the debacle as anyone else and they need to grow up, accept their part, and stop the political stupidity tearing our country apart.

However, that isn’t even the main point I want to make which is many of the politicians whining the loudest are the same people who supported the wholesale destruction of their constituent cities by protesting mobs. These same politicians called looting and beating “Peaceful Protests” and refused to do anything to stop the protests and aid the traumatized homeowners and businesspeople living through these nightmares. So sorry, but there was nothing “peaceful” about what happened there. I believe in peaceful protests – the kind where people aren’t injured or killed, and property isn’t destroyed. When those things happen, it’s no longer peaceful and it’s time to end it. I know people in other countries might feel differently; but that’s my opinion.

In closing, the gist of my vent is there shouldn’t be one value system for politicians and one for the rest of us. If the Congresspeople currently in office want my support, they need to grow up. Stop the self-serving January 6 committee crap, prosecute the people who looted your cities under the guise of social justice protests, forget your personal agendas, and put our country first. Otherwise, I, like a lot of other people, am ready to vote fresh blood ready to do what you’re unwilling to do. Namely run our country freely and fairly with true diversity where a melting pot of ideas can flourish.

Until next time,
