It’s Not Civics, It’s Politics
From the workshop - Sorry about the quality...I was sitting in the back
That is the recurring message delivered by author Dr. Timothy Daughtry to an enthusiastic audience of about one hundred and fifty “activists” yesterday afternoon. The funny part is none of us in attendence were activits. We were just mainstream Americans who are very concerned about the direction that our country is being driven by the far left. “Driven” may not be the correct term as it seems like we are being “herded.” We peaceful Americans want to enjoy our families, work hard, play hard, and basically want to be left alone. Between elections we expect our elected officials to keep their promises and act in ways that do not require our oversight. That really hasn’t worked really well for American ideals for the last century.
Perhaps there is no greater proof that talk radio host and Fox News personality Glenn Beck has uncovered the truth and exposed much of the inner workings of the George Soros project. Like a spoiled child the left doesn’t like when it’s own tactics (read Alinsky) are used against them. Glenn Beck has perhaps mastered the techniques and has enough dedicated staff to take on the Soros machine; additionally Beck admits to his desire to expose the left and does not fear losing anything. He is very dangerous to the left as a crusader for what’s right.
The United Nations was founded in 1945 against the backdrop of World War II and had lofty goals to ease international disputes, provide security, improve economic development and improve human rights. There are few who would argue against these goals even today, but did the United Nations experiment deliver? It delivered, but not really on any of those promises. Here we are 65 years later and the world has many disputes, security seems to be worse, we are in a severe economic downturn, and the UN is attacking the United States for human rights violations.
My original post dealt more with the political side of hypocrisy primarily because of the season in an important mid-term election. The main problem that I had with the post was to keep it focuses with all of the hypocrisy out there. Two recent items screamed for inclusion under hypocrisy.
As we sleaze toward America’s midterm elections in three weeks I found a source of light. I am enjoying the rapid decline of the Progressives, but the slime being brought forth is tiring to anyone who pays a lot of attention to politics.
