I AM A HUGE FAN OF POLITICS…in fact, if the truth be known, i would love to be the governor of south dakota sometime in the next 15 years……
while watching the President’s state of the union address the other night, i commented to my family, that our politicians are such hypocrites. they applaud and stand everytime President Bush makes a point….they cheer….they scream…..they stand up again…… they pat him on the back on the way out…..they ask for his autograph on the way out….everything is peachy….
UNTIL…..
right after the address…..then you turn on the news channels and hear democrats and republicans ripping his message……they complain loudly about what a failure this man is, even though they were just giving him standing ovations 20 minutes earlier.
don’t misunderstand me, this is not about President Bush…….it’s about the respect we should have for the office of the presidency……and how politicians shouldn’t be hypocrites . if you beleive strongly in something, stand up for it…..if you can’t stand the man, say so……but don’t get up and give him standing ovation after standing ovation, and then rip him to shreds after the speech……
it makes my very sad at what a cynical and sad society we’ve become. we’re more consumed with tearing someone down, than doing the christian thing of “loving our neighbors.” we’d rather see someone completely broken down and in pain, instead of flourishing…….
i sincerely hope we can turn this train around……
