Dabbling in Politics

At the risk of offending the people who read this to hear me vent about Walmart, let me change the subject for a brief moment today. I think that the business of running our Country is one of the most important in the world. And I shudder to think of some of the semi-illiterate dufusses( or is the plural of dufus-dufi?) that we have in charge of things. BO is going to be one of the worst things to happen to these United States since the recent Carter then Clinton debacle. I notice a concerted effort to try to make Jimmy Carter seem like a statesman now. He certainly is a better ex president than he ever was a president. I think of him every time I put on a sweater. Or have someone I love held hostage and tortured for over a year. Of course, after President Ford pardoned Nixon, the backlash was going to be horrific. It's only now that anyone has gotten around to admitting that putting the whole sordid mess behind us was the best thing for the country. Bill Clinton, or slick willie, as I have always called him, is in a class by himself. How many felonies did he get away with? And how about those pardons that he sold to get his wife elected? Or, better yet, how about those nuclear secrets he seems to have let slip right out from under him. Never mind the obvious lack of self control on his part-what about all the willful lies and perjury that he committed? Or the terrible shredding of a person's reputation? Thank God Monica Lewinsky had a bizarre pack rat fetish. But anyway..... I don't even listen to television news anymore. The fawning over this particular administration triggers my gag reflex in less than a minute. I pray for him not to ruin anything in the two years he has until the next election. I also pray for a major conservative to make him or herself known in that time. No more milquetoast candidates. I hope that somewhere is a true conservative, someone who isn't trying to ride the middle of the road. Someone who understands that Ronald Reagan was brilliant and had the best vision for this country since I can remember. It's going to be a bumpy ride, no question. With Liberals running the show in all three houses, all we can do is sit back and get ready to give the government more of our money because we aren't smart enough to take care of it ourselves. Just ask them. I can only hope that socialized medicine, socialized jobs, and socialized thinking does as well as midnight basketball. Does anyone else remember that pearl of wisdom from the Clinton administration? But enough of my doom and gloom. He hasn't even sat his unqualified butt in the desk of the oval office (where was he born, seriously??) and he already has the selling of his senate seat to deal with. What was his cut of that, anyway? I pray that it gets better. I keep thinking of something that my dad use to say. If you don't respect the person, at least respect the office that they hold. I hope that helps you get through the next two years. If it does, you can thank me later.
