Enough Already

OK, I have had it! Where is integrity and honor among the leaders of our country? It is apparent to the public that Mark Foley is a predator. It was known for several years that Foley had a problem and yet the House leadership seems to have minimized, brushed off, and now stonewalls. Bah! Anyone who knew and did nothing should resign.

Bush just put off requirements for more alternative fuels 20 more years and continues to deny that there is global warming. Maybe it is only a large weather cycle, but there is no question that the Arctic ice is melting at an alarming rate. Can we do nothing to get us less dependant on oil? Are we so tied to conspicuous consumption? Americans put more money into their pets every year than some countries have in their whole national budget!

Why is it that our politicians in Washington are so power oriented, so political that they cannot pass a decent, reasonable law on illegal immegration? Build a wall? What a waste of time, effort, and money. Even the Berlin Wall couldn't keep people in, and this surely will not keep persistent people out -- people who want the opportunities available in the USA.

The Senate race in Florida is between GOP challenger Katherine Harris and Sen. Bill Nelson. Katherine Harris has accused Sen. Nelson of not acting like a Christian in some of his voting in the Senate. This is the man who took his Bible with him as an astronaut on a space shuttle flight in 1986, the man who lead the national prayer breakfast, and voted against partial birth abortions. Nelson has my vote...

And why do we continue to allow people to possess hand guns and assault rifles? This is not a Bill of Rights question. These firearms were made for one purpose -- to kill people. I'm not against hunting, but let's stop the people carnage!

I ache for people who will truly lead. People want leadership, and yet what we have is a Chimera, a mirage in the desert. I want a new party called Common Sense, whose members understand and hold to honor and integrity, who know right from wrong and do what is right.

He has showed you, O man, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God. -- Micah 6:8

Wow. I'm impressed Dad. My response was getting too long, so I made it into a post itself. Go read it!

And then there's my state...Dumb and Dumber running for governor right now. Grrrrr...

Weeelll, I know what my calling is - it's teaching 5th graders! The problem is that so many politicians act like 5th graders that my ideas seem to resonate on the political level. I have neither the desire nor the temperament for political office.
