Won’t listen to slogans, chanted mantras or generally any kind of marketing spin or “rebranding” crap. I firmly believe that everyone else is entitled to their erroneous opinions. Citizen vigilance and due diligence is price we must pay to live in a thriving, functional democracy.\nI fear that our citizens are too easily swayed by politician’s pablum about “babies”, “jobs” and now, in particular, perceived “enemies”. I fear that a citizenry focused on the “here-and-now” is easily tricked by short term benefits that have negative long-term consequences. I fear that our legislators are more concerned about buffing their constituents than looking out for the long-term welfare of our country- and are way too eager to provide those short-term benefits to the “here-and-now” crowd.\nI fear that honor is generally being sacrificed/replaced by expediency. I hear politicians eloquently argue for one side of an issue and later, when it’s to their benefit, just as eloquently argue for the opposite side. OK, so they are good at arguing- but what is that they actually believe? What is it that they actually stand for? An honorable person has values that persist even when it is not convenient or expedient. An honorable person has a moral compass that stops them from doing something wrong even if it is not illegal. A foul is a foul- even if the referee doesn’t catch you.\nI fear that each of our federal governmental branches have devised or discovered shortcuts which tend to protect them from the checks and balances our founders intended.","twitter_id":null,"facebook_id":null,"youtube_id":null,"google_plus_id":null,"website":null,"slug":"jimk","issue_count":4,"is_following":null,"influence_score":44430,"influence_level":40,"follower_count":1513,"following_count":81,"position_count":538,"id":"9odrQBnb","partner_id":null},{"name":"Kelly","vote_count":19,"photos":{"large":"https://graph.facebook.com/3148533605257705/picture?width=150&height=150","small":"https://graph.facebook.com/3148533605257705/picture?width=75&height=75","tiny":"https://graph.facebook.com/3148533605257705/picture?width=20&height=20","facebook":"https://graph.facebook.com/3148533605257705/picture"},"links":{"following":"/api/users/ZndJ4RbP/following","followers":"/api/users/ZndJ4RbP/followers"},"about_me":null,"twitter_id":null,"facebook_id":null,"youtube_id":null,"google_plus_id":null,"website":null,"slug":null,"issue_count":19,"is_following":null,"influence_score":0,"influence_level":0,"follower_count":0,"following_count":2,"position_count":0,"id":"ZndJ4RbP","partner_id":null}],"article_comment":{"flagged":false,"id":1137701,"body":"Impeach and remove King Donald J Trump!
