Our Founding Fathers were intelligent and perceptive beyond belief when they formed this great republic. They did make one mistake. They did not anticipate or protect us against the career politician. They assumed our elected leaders would be selected by their peers and would receive only minimal compensation. They would truly be public servants.
Today,
it is hard to call many elected officials public servants. The number one objective of career
politicians is to get elected and reelected.
Serving the people is way down on their list of priorities. Wealth and power rank much higher.
The
career politician is at the center of the political elite in the Washington DC swamp. The lobbyists and big political donors all
bid for their vote. Many votes are
bought and paid for. This is very
apparent when looking at an obstructionist like Republican Senate Majority
Leader Mitch McConnell.
Donald
Trump’s election as President was a populous revolution. This revolution was so quiet that political
analysts and the media did not see it coming.
It happened in the voting booth.
People are fed up with big government.
I
can see why the career politician, the political elite, big money, and the lame
stream media are afraid of Trump. They
don’t trust the working people and they don’t want to lose control. If the populous revolution continues, the
media and big money will no longer be able to control elections and it could be
the end of the career politician. It
could be the end of the bloated Washington government of today.
I
hope the populous revolution continues and the career politician
disappears. I am reminded of the joke
where a kid tells his father he is choosing a career of crime, and the father’s
response is “public or private sector?”
God bless President Trump and guide him to make America great again.
