A Civics lesson to be learned

 Five years ago we were inundated with nearly unbelievable promises from two candidates running for President, neither of whom had a proven track record of being honest and forthright with the people being asked to support them.

 Four years ago we selected an egotistical, business man to shake up our do nothing government machine in Washington.  Well – He certainly did that, and I might add, in spectacular fashion. As a non-politician, he managed to achieve 3 years of a robust economy, expand numerous social programs and keep an amazing number of his campaign promises. In spite of all this, he instilled an intense personal hatred of himself, in the very people who most benefited from his policies and accomplishments. His record, if attributed to any of our former presidents, would be cited as an example of what good government leadership can accomplish.

  Three years into his term of office he survived impeachment by his political enemies, leaving them agape at their own impotence and standing waist deep in much of the mire that they themselves had dredged up.

 All of the above was accomplished while offering to his supporters some of the most astounding verbal blunders in recent memory. He has ignored the advice and counsel of his own appointed experts, chastising them and leaving them strewn in his wake as he charged blindly forward. 

 Now, we are being asked to voluntarily give up our constitutionally guaranteed civil liberties for an undetermined period of time in order to stop or slow the advance of a deadly virus sweeping across the entire planet. A worthy cause to be sure. But, we must insure that our constitution is not nullified by the expediency required to find a cure for this plague. Now is the time to insure that our representative democracy has a future and that it will continue to be a government by the people and for the people, as our founding fathers intended. We must demand some readily identifiable limit to these sacrifices we are making.

As we approach the coming election season we must understand that the seeds we sow on Election Day, will determine whether the crop of legislation benefits mankind or yields only so much more fertilizer.

When this crisis is over we should be looking for leaders with a more educated and open approach to our governments problems than blaming their predecessors.


And now, a final question to ponder; Isn’t it time to throw all of our previously elected problems out on their respective butts?
