-- Makes one wonder how many years we've all been under this illusion that we are being protected...makes me ashamed and uncomfortable believing all the lies we've been fed for so many years. --

Welcome to the party. The government has been running a corrupt sham for as long as you have been alive. Lies and false promises on top of lies and failures. And we get the privilege of paying to be lorded over and mocked.

We elect people based on false promises, and then after a short time in Washington, they turn into full time professional liars. That is the sad truth.

Once they become inhabitants of the Swamp they never want to leave; a condition that used to be known as Potomac Fever.

“”Welcome to the party. The government has been running a corrupt sham for as long as you have been alive. Lies and false promises on top of lies and failures. And we get the privilege of paying to be lorded over and mocked.””

Which is a long, long time - more years than I want to claim with another birthday later this month - but I still say, it’s really shameful and disgusting to believe that after all these years, we have been fed stories! What have our men gone to war and died for, for crying out loud? More carefully crafted stories?

I watched my parents cry when I was just a kid after they got the news about my mother’s baby brother being killed in January 1942 which turned out to be with later news - on Bataan.

Why in the dickens do we even vote? I know there are some here who say we can’t be pessimistic but how on earth would one suggest not giving in to it? I don’t want to be skeptical or jaded but how can it be prevented? I can’t teach my young grandson to believe things about this country that are now repugnant. I can’t teach him or advise his parents to teach him not to trust anyone in power. Sadly, with every day news, it seems that’s where we are.
