Who Is To Blame? (For the events since February)
Whose fault is today’s state of affairs?
Who is responsible?
Who is culpable?
Drum roll please…. YOU! YES YOU! At least the majority of you. There is a small minority who voted against these politicians.
How say ye? Let me illustrate; there was a time I felt sorry and had great pity for the widows, elderly, single family moms, down and out strugglers who gave much if not all of their resources to televangelists. My heart broke for them as they gave from their meager resources, at the snake oil prompting of the televangelists. But one day it dawned on me; why are they sending their precious resources to greedy televangelists? Because they were just as greedy. They wanted the “return on their fleece of faith.” They wanted the 10-fold return on their offering promised to them by the evangelists. Granted, most if not all needed a return, but they sent their money in because they wanted the promised return.
How does that relate to our topic? Connect the dots… (No, not those dots) The politicians just like the televangelists are doing just what their nature dictates. You should not be surprised when they “bite you.”
How many remember Al Wilson’s song, The Snake Song? Remember the nice lady who found the frozen snake, felt sorry for him, brought him home, set him by the fire and warmed him up? She gave the snake a home, fed him, and cared for him. But what did that rascally old snake do? He bit her. Yep, bit her.
And of course, she was shocked! As she began to die, she asked “Why?” What did the snake say? “Oh, shut up silly woman, you knew I was a snake when you brought me in.”
Why do I say you are responsible? Because you voted in and repeatedly voted in the very people who you thought would be of benefit to you and give you great returns on having put them in office. Some of these snakes, oops, politicians have been voted in for 50 + years.
Now these same politicians who have been warmed and fed by your fires have determined it is payday. Now they have turned on you and bit you. Many have cried out how could this be, how could this happen, why Mr. or Mrs. or Ms. Politician, did you do this? They are saying, “Shut up silly voter, you knew I was a politician when you voted me in!”
Ultimately I blame Satan for the evil influence upon so many people. Greed certainly is a big factor in where we've ended up. Lots of people want something for nothing like Democrats so often promise.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, you might want to correct your post. "The Snake" was written by Al Wilson. I'm an Al Green fan, but I was surprised when you said he wrote the song so I looked it up and found the correct answer. I remember hearing Pres Trump reciting the lyrics at some of his rallies. It is very applicable to what has gone on for so many years and decades.

A very good post, but not being policitically minded and of being from a different country I was very interested what you wrote.
