It cannot have escaped anyone but the most ignorant
person, or those who live in complete denial, that Americas society and
politics is riddled with lies and corruption. However it is nowhere more visible
and prevalent than in politics, bureaucratic administrations and other
government services or departments.
Being that every person is responsible for their own
actions and deeds it is easy to point our fingers at the politicians as it is
them in the end who commit these lies and criminal corruption. Of course the
politicians and administrators carry just about all the fault and guilt, but it
would not be fair to overlook the underlying reason for those lies and
corruption.
The underlying reason for so shamelessly lying and corrupting
everything in sight, is really YOU, the citizen and voter. The common people.
Time after time it is YOU the people who know they are
being lied to, but either out of convenience or because it fits in their
agenda, the lies are accepted and enabled. Time and time again do you vote for
and support the same corrupt and lying people. Almost regardless of the
consequences or who gets hurt. It is YOU the people who are accepting lies and
corruption as a almost normal part of life, and it is again you who teaches our
children to accept lies and even become liars themselves.
Some of consider themselves religious and god-fearing
people, quoting out of the Bible and going to church every chance they have.
What a life of hypocrisy many of those people live. How can those people
fabricate or accept and enable vicious lies and then on Sundays take their
Bible to church like nothing ever happened?
As long as the common citizens continue to enable and
support outright liars, or worse yet, become malicious lairs themselves, there
will never be a better government. Not locally, not statewide and not
nationwide.
Only by rejecting the lies of the unscrupulous and by
exposing their lies and holding them accountable will there ever be real change
in our lives.
Alone the lies, fabrications and corruption that I have
witnessed in the past three years alone, on local, county, state and national
level, by politicians, law enforcement, judicial branch and by common citizens
is not just disgusting and disheartening but outright shocking.
It is little consolidation for the few honest people
around to know that this is not restricted to a few local areas, but apparently
an ingrown part of the American society. At least as long as YOU all accept end
enable it.
If there were really serious consequences to lying, from
the people, by the people, not even mentioning criminal prosecution,
politicians and other officials would think very carefully before uttering any
new lies.
