THE PROBLEM WITH POLITICS
I’ve never been a political type. It’s not that I don’t think of such things, but I’m just too chicken to get into something like that. It seems to me they all act like brats, and as a matter of fact, every political type in my life seems to be a, “know it all,” to me. They rant, rave and complain about the very thing they discuss day and night. They’re obsessed with what they can’t get out of their political mind. That’s why I’ve come to realize that most political souls get old long before they otherwise would.
You see, the problem with republicans is the fact that they sit on the right. It’s not because they are always right, but because they think they are. Besides, they like to be in charge, and I suppose that democrats sit on the left just because it’s easier, I guess. If I stood in a democrat’s shoes, I’d move far to the other side too, just because the republicans never shut up. Otherwise, it would be like sitting in a church pew, right beside a child who screams and cries while you try to pray for a way to save the country. Republicans are just too distracting.Then again, most democrats distract me too. It’s just what politicians do. It’s a way to manipulate and leave the rest of us confused. When they distract, confuse and manipulate you, you’ll be more likely to give up the fight and agree to believe they are right. It’s true and it’s a huge issue for the USA, I’d say. Those who communicate what they debate in negative based ways can create doom, gloom and hate. If we listen to them, we’ll become like Rush Limbaugh’s ditto dopes who quote all those negative based debates. Who wants to be like him? I must admit, it makes me sick.
By the way, I’m ashamed to say that even us women can be politicians. Just look at Hillary Clinton. She spent all that time trying to convince us to hate the other candidate, but ironically, she became his Secretary of State. It just figures that the female democrat would be the secretary, but who am I to judge? I’m too much of a chicken to debate at all, because you see, what you debate others will hate. That’s why political debates create hate, strife and fights. I choose to maintain my peace of mind, but I’d like to get a word in at least now and then.
Although I know no one cares to be aware of what I think, it surprises me to see so clearly that some political types don’t realize that I might not care to be aware of what they think as well. They all have a story to tell and they tell it so well that you could swear you’ve heard it a thousand times. It just blows my mind. Why do political types feel such an urgent need to be right all the time? Not one of them is ever polite, and it indicates to me a lack of good up bringing when people use their right to free speech as an excuse to be rude. It’s crude and sociall unacceptable to raise the voice, shout and scream profanities with a fist raised as if to say, “LISTEN TO ME, BECAUSE YOU SEE, I’M THE KNOW IT ALL KING.”
All I have to say to that fact is this: “Okay, Okay, whatever you say.”
Then again, it’s not just the professionals who rant, rave, complain and campaign. They might be the guy who lives down the street. All it takes is a pee wee brain to become a political type who strives to convince you and I that, in fact, he or she should be the king or queen of everything. When they do, that’s when they try to run the country from their living room, and then, they invite you to come and listen to them rant and rave all night, just so you can be enraged too, I assume.
Why don’t they just leave us alone? It seems to me it would be more logical to pick a candidate based on a resume in documented print than it is to have to listen to him or her for a year or more, rant, rave, complain and spend a million bucks just to campaign through a view that makes us hate the one who campaign’s against the one you pick in the end. It’s an insane way to run a campaign, but do you think anyone would listen to me? Of course not. If they did, they wouldn’t be politicians.
Well okay, so maybe I did get into politics this time. I just got sucked in, and besides, Obama just blew my mind. He was different. He was unique, because you see, he actually listened to people like me. In fact, the only soul who ever dared to send me an email was in fact the democrat that I went out on a limb to defend to some of my republican relatives. Big mistake. You see, I’ve come to believe that most political types can’t agree to disagree, so it’s best to keep what you think to yourself. Besides, the wise guy always wins in the end.
Then again, those who remain dumb to that fact will still refuse to listen to you, so it’s wise to realize that some will choose to be dumb and simply need to fight for their right to be right day and night. Just take my advice. Don’t say what you think to any political human being. Just pray for peace of mind, but please listen to me. Don’t pray for patience of any kind when it comes to political types. If you do, God will give it to you.
That’s when some politician or two, professional or otherwise, will appear in your life to provide more patience than you need, just so you’ll receive what you ASKED to achieve. They’ll rant and rave as they try with all their might to make you as patient as a saint, so be wise. Just pray for peace of mind. When you do, God will give that to you too. Besides, with peace of mind, not even those political types can take your hope and faith away. In fact, that’s the best way to campaign, and by the way, peace just might be what benefits the USA.
