Capitol Hill needs a cleansing. I believe most politicians want to get into public service for the right reasons but get so intoxicated with the fumes of power, money, & fame that they lose their moral compass. I am still a Democrat, but believe that politics is destroying our country.
Many moons ago Samuel Adams said,"If ever a time shall come, when vain and aspiring men shall possess the highest seats in Government, our country will stand in need of its experienced patriots to prevent our ruin." Today Americans are fed up with the present system. The culture of money and power dominates Washington and makes good people do things that are morally questionable, if not reprehensible. We can no longer tolerate a political system that rewards unethical behavior.
From bondage to spiritual faith.
From faith to great courage.
From courage to liberty.
From liberty to abundance.
From abundance to complacency.
From complacency to selfishness.
From selfishness to apathy.
From apathy to dependency.
And from dependence back into bondage.
ALEXANDER TYLER
Times such as this can easily breed a hopeless attitude but it can also stimulate us to realize we have within us the capacity to overcome these challenges & if we are courageous and act now to make a difference then we need not despair.
