Change we can decieve in

I think a lot of people put their faith in the Man to change the course of their lives.   And, promises were made.  There were reassurances that their Day had Come.  Yes, hidden in all that smooth talking their Day had Come.  Had come to this:  disappointment, disillusion, and now, disgust.  Too many broken promises lead to..  a broken People.   Where do a broken People turn their anger?   They turn their anger on each other.   [It is why that Light, in the person of Jesus, came to us with these wise words Do not put your trust in Man.  Man will always disappoint when it comes to making promises.  There is only One who keeps His promises.]

Some wonder why our president has fallen out of favor with so many of his followers.  I wonder why so  many more have not.   His broken promises have caused a world of hurt.   A great man, such as the president believes he is, would have put those who stole our money, pensions and property, in prison.  Who has gone to prison? Where is the accountability for such irresponsibility with the People’s money?  Are these privileged men worthy of the public trust?  A great man, such as our president believes he is, would have kept his promise to close Gitmo, to immediately stop the torture and cruel treatment of those incarcerated.  Decent Americans do not sanction torture. How can a self-proclaimed decent man, as the president professes to be, sanction such cruelty to a human being – however cruel and devoid of civility the enemy?   Because such men are not decent.  Both the tortured enemy and the torturer share the same lack of decency.

I think when enough indecent men have a foothold on every aspect of everyone’s lives, they set into motion dishonesty, distrust and suspicion of intent in otherwise decent men.  The indecent man seems without concern for the under-dog or the not-so-privileged fellowman, thinking only of them as his own personal, disposable commodity.   What kind of Man, as a nation, are we as a whole?

I think any president of these United States does not know everything that is done in his name.   The president delegates so many responsibilities to his aides and legal advisors who may not share the president’s stand on some issues and they proceed to act towards a different end, regardless.  In any administration there is what is called a “rogue element” that works against the best interests of the president, his administration and the People’s will.  It’s a fact of life.  It’s We the People who are responsible for demanding accountability for wrongdoing; we all know how quickly the hand of law would come down on the common man for the same infraction.  I think it’s time for Americans to start a dialogue on the need for ethical, honest, noble men to hold high office.  To serve as models of civility and morality for all its people to strive toward.  In other words, put rather crudely, and only to make a point: It’s the Unethical among us, Stupid!
