There are too many who think that their beliefs in our elected
leaders and major national issues is reason to heavily debate one another and
then avoid the other side with polar opposite beliefs to theirs. But it runs
much deeper than that. The fact is, the entity that has us bickering with each
other has won in this situation. It has divided Americans by sucking us into its
logic of low expectations, and it seems to only grow uglier with each passing
day.
If Washington politicians truly had it together there would
be, at least, bipartisan teamwork and harmony in solving our nation’s woes in
the name of “we the people.” But this isn’t the case. If it were, I wouldn’t
have had any reason to write this. But the two-party system has proven time and
time again that politics as usual is nothing more than lies and empty promises
to the American people. They are responsible for our low expectations of them;
we simply expect their deceit because they have trained us to expect it. It’s
all part of the game.
May God bless and truly heal America. He is the only One who
can! – Jon Kennedy
