Musings of a Dumb Ass

Musings of a Dumb Ass..... I'm sorry...... Damn! How'd that happen?........ I screwed up...... We gotta change that........ we're gonna take another direction...... This is why I done that..... At the time it seemed the right thing to do...... I think stubborness and the inability to recall it in a truthful and right way is a sign of weakness.......... I think all those statements used with honesty are the surest signs of strength a human being can display, yet no elected official I've ever known of ever uttered any them at any time other than departure in disgrace. If those in power cannot see how weak and irresponsible they appear to be as they defend the policies that have proven either to be based on untruth or just downright wrong, then they are not qualified to lead me. If they can see, and continue the wrong road, they are not fit to lead me. It takes strength and wisdom to admit mistake, and done in the correct and responsible way it instills trust with those who should be trusting, and confidence in those admitting the wrong. In every court of law in this land the success and closure of justice is when the perpertrator admits what he or she done. If pardon or parole is an option it is only granted when there is admittance and apology. Yet those who lead us seem to believe honesty is up to interpretation and whatever is in doubt is simply something we are misunderstanding. We are at a very tender time in our journey as a country and I think are more vulnerable to dishonesty and liars than at any time in our history. It is a time to consider on what terms are we to survive? It is also a time to set out what we really stand for. We must decide what we can afford and what we deserve and are entitled to as citizens and what can the country continue to give those who are asking. It would be very healthy to pull in the power of those who abuse it and display the strength to send them packing. I think the formula for freedom is actually uncluttered by complication as is our constitution. I've read it many times and refer to it often and am absolutely appalled by those who can't accept it for its simpleness. Its strength is its simple approach to our rights and how we should mete out the authority to run this country. I think the next two national elections are the pivotal times for our future and if charge is not taken by the citizens then we are not to last. Our economy is in position to crumble as so many others have in history. Our competitive spirit is dead in the world market. Our respect around the globe is the lowest in our history, and we are viewed as bullies by most on the planet. It is true that we are a blessed people and many things are unmatched by any country anywhere. But the problem is ....... what is wrong with us is worse than the deadliest cancer and certain to destroy the strongest among us leaving only those who will lay down and wait for the end................ until then vote third party
