CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY MAY 8, 2020
ARE YOU TIRED OF THE BICKERING AND NAME CALLING THAT CONSTITUTES SO MUCH OF WASHINGTON POLITICAL RHETORIC THESE DAYS?
THE PRESIDENT, HIS DEFENDERS AND CONGRESSIONAL LEADERS DON’T SPEAK WITH EACH OTHER. THEY SPEAK AND SOMETIMES YELL PAST EACH OTHER.
DEMOCRATS IN CONGRESS SEE EVERYTHING THE PRESIDENT DOES OR WANTS TO DO NEGATIVELY. AND THE PRESIDENT CONSTANTLY ATTACKS DEMOCRATS. THIS IS WHAT DIVIDED AND HIGHLY PARTISAN GOVERNMENT LOOKS LIKE. THE FOUNDERS WANTED TO AVOID POLITICAL PARTIES BUT IT DIDN’T TAKE LONG FOR THEM TO BE FORMED. POLITICAL PARTIES ARE ABOUT WINNING ELECTIONS, NOT DOING WHAT PROMOTES THE GENERAL WELFARE. AMERICA HAS BECOME SO DYSFUNCTIONAL BECAUSE OUR GOVERNMENT NO LONGER LIVES WITHIN ITS CONSTITUTIONAL BOUNDARIES, RUNNING UP MASSIVE DEBT THAT WILL LIKELY NEVER BE REPAID. ALL MOST OF THEM DO IS SPEND, SPEND, SPEND AND BORROW, BORROW, BORROW, FOCUSING ON THE NEXT ELECTION AND THEIR CAREERS.
PUBLIC APPROVAL OF CONGRESS IS AT NEAR RECORD LOWS, BUT TOO MANY OF US VOTE THEM BACK IN, EXPECTING DIFFERENT RESULTS. IN THE END IT’S OUR FAULT FOR THE SO-CALLED LEADERSHIP WE GET. I’M CAL THOMAS.
