REALITY
CHECK
“Sometime ago a ‘Frank and Ernest” cartoon character
quipped: “My reality check just bounced”.
Reality, my friends, is a slippery notion, and in
that view I’d like to explore a few facts of reality, facts that can be
verified with a bit of astute research.
I am referring to “politicians” as opposed to honestly elected local
public servants.
Divorce from your mind that your elected senators
and representatives represent you, have your best interest at heart, that they
work for you. Let me disabuse you of that fallacy. They (with very few
exceptions) belong to that government which is currently in power. That
government owns them, let me repeat that, “that government owns them”, that
government pays them, protects them, their allegiance is bought and paid for.
They don‘t vote for you, they vote for the powers that be, i.e., big government,
big money, big business; in effect they vote as they are told. In addition they
can be counted on to vote to provide for and protect their positions. The needs
of the masses come last and only when expedient. The voting records of the
recent past will bear ample testimony to the facts. Don’t take my word for
that, check for yourself.
Politicians and bureaucrats are, in the vast
majority, lawyers and are by definition wordsmiths. And with the
‘under-the-radar’ collusion of the liberal media they are quite skilled at
deception and the double meaning, the double negative, creating convoluted
messages for public consumption that will be easily misconstrued to mean other
than what the facts will bear out, what they really are.
But what of the facts you say? An ancient
philosopher once wrote: “Never confuse truth with facts, facts are always
provable, whereas ‘truth’ can be bent to mean whatever is expedient”.
On November 6th, my friends, I encourage
you to vote on provable facts, not on ‘political propaganda’. REMEMBER IN
NOVEMBER.”
