Don’t talk to me about morality!
The incident with the Saudi Prince, the murdered journalist, Khashoggi, and President Trump’s actions regarding it brought to light the notion of morality. The Democrats, who would not grant President Trump the correct time of day, tell us that it’s immoral for him to continue dealing with the Saudi’s based upon their action. They now say “a wall” [on our borders] is immoral too.
President Trump reminds us that to back out of certain deals with the Saudi’s would cost us more than $110 billion which would assuredly benefit the Russians, the Chinese, and ultimately the Iranians. His is a more practical viewpoint, one which more realistically looks at the way the world is situated. His view regarding the wall is also more practical.
The fact is that Congressmen, left or right, wouldn’t recognize morality if it hit them in the face.
The notion of our Congress and our leaders lecturing us on morality is farcical. They are mostly all proven liars. Most demonstrate the old adage about lawyers—that you know a lawyer is lying because his/her lips are moving.
Make no bones about it. Most of our leaders are paid off in one way or another, are silenced by the pressures of those more powerful who are paid off in one way or another, or just simply turn their backs and take the perks of being a leader. This leadership class, generally referred to here as the American Politburo, wholly reminiscent of the despicable Politburo we used to criticize in the Soviet Union during the Cold War, is a millionaire’s club whereby it’s members making only $178,000 a year can and do quickly become multimillionaires. This fact, especially when coupled with a few of their quite obvious actions (like granting themselves an exemption from Obamacare at the last minute or allowing themselves to engage in inside trading or using taxpayer dollars for a slush fund to pay off their sexual indiscretions) show their true natures, again left or right.
You would think our leaders have never heard of videotape or audiotape. You would think they forget that what they said some eight or ten years ago is recorded somewhere and can be played back. When it’s brought back on Fox News it is labeled pro-Trump propaganda by the other networks and media outlets which then quickly downplay the blatant lies by justifying them or explaining them away. All the while they continually claim that they, the media, are unbiased and ever-seeking the truth.
Don’t make me laugh. It would be funny if it wasn’t funny. It is absolutely farcical. Using morality as a political tool is immoral. Now, lately, they’re even using the same religion they’ve taken out of our schools as a political tool.
No, our leaders have no morality and wouldn’t recognize morality if it walked up to them and introduced itself directly.
Want to talk about morality and immorality? More than 800,000 children go missing in America every year. Our Congress, the same Congress that talks about morality in regard to President Trump’s actions with the Saudi’s (and everywhere else), has known about this for years and years and years and years yet doesn’t do anything about it.
You can’t have it both ways. Morality is not subject to political whim.
