Leaders Say Unsustainable But Do Nothing


Interestingly our leaders are almost all using the word unsustainable regarding our economy in one way or another, yet not one of them is willing to make any serious changes. They’re more than happy to blame the other side for all the troubles, but no matter which side you’re talking to they don’t want to take any serious action. I’m not sure if it is because they concerned about their careers or if it’s because they are ideologically convinced they’re not the ones doing the wrong thing. Either way they’re not taking any actions except those that make our situation even more unsustainable than it has been so far.

What we don’t need is more leaders just telling us how unsustainable the situation is. We need leaders who are willing to make the hard and right choices to bring our nation back to what made it great. Though the republicans would have you believe it is capitalism, and the democrats would have you believe it is some form of socialism with fairness, social and economic justice, these are not really the answers. Both sides have given up the moral aspects of our founding fathers. They want to badly to remove every form of religion from our society that it has made us spiritually incapable of handing even the best of governments.

Sadly, and mostly because of the progressives, we have cast religion aside and are left with nothing but humanism. Understand when I say progressives I don’t mean only Democrats. We have more than our share of progressives in the Republican Party as well. These progressives are opposed to religion and celebrate humanism. They think of God and religion as crutches.

Everyone wants to pretend their being patriots, but I wonder how many even know what this country was really founded on. For the republicans it seems to be the idea of capitalism, which is most certainly not true. They were concerned about true liberty and freedom. They were interested in creating a place where the GOD given rights of all men would be respected and protected.

It must also be said that to the liberals and Democrats what this means is that everyone has the right to the same things as everyone else, meaning that everyone must share equally. To these people rights and fairness mean almost the same thing. In their view you have a right to what someone else has worked hard for simply because they have too much. This is not a right enumerated or ever even thought of by our founding fathers.

I sincerely doubt that most of our leaders have ever read the constitution let alone the writings of the founding fathers; HECK most of them can’t even take the time to read the bills they vote for. What does this say about their character?

It is time we start expecting our leaders to tell the truth. We’ve become so accustomed to having them say whatever we want to hear instead of saying what they’re really going to do.
