Ever Notice

            Most people go through life just going along with things or maybe never noticing what goes on around them. This is the age of digital but more trees are shredded to make pulp for paper than ever before. We are rapidly moving to electric vehicles which will be charged at night when the sun isn’t shining and little or no wind, so what makes the power?

            Do people notice when a President or elected official spouts their screwed up history on some subject or do they blindly believe it too? Has anyone noticed tens of thousands of people are becoming increasingly paranoid from believing lies and conspiracies designed to divide Americans?

            Ever notice a majority of Americans are upset when the top one-tenth of one percent pays little or no taxes but defend them when a President, Governor or elected person wants to raise their taxes? Ever notice a slogan or term is used to rile people into thinking they are in danger? Think the term “Death Tax” pertained to ninety-nine percent of Americans? It didn’t, but people were convinced it might and railed against it.

            Ever notice people have been told not to believe the regulated media but are convinced the internet is truthful with its lies and conspiracies. Ever notice the Fox News reports the real truth but the talking heads and their interviewees say the opposite? People hear both but believe the talking heads.

            Ever notice how easily Americans can be deceived? America is a great community so why are millions succumbing to divisive conspiracies? Maybe Americans just like being conned!

John S. McCain III, an American Icon

We signed the petition for Senator McCain in 1999 to be the presidential nominee because he was a moderate, put America first, and crossed the aisle for his many bi-partisan bills. He lost because the Bush II campaign smeared his character and his family. John was too much of a gentleman to sink to Bush II’s lies and character assignation.

The second time he was given the Bush II campaign people and forced to the right. His campaign didn’t do any character smearing of Obama. Non-associated ones did! John even told a woman Obama is a good man when she voiced a smearing statement. I doubt if any other candidate would have said anything, most would have agreed and taken it forward.

I might have voted for John if he had picked a decent Vice-President and hadn’t changed his core values to get votes from the far right. Would he have really gone far right or stayed in the center? I couldn’t be sure but having an idiot one heart beat from the oval office was too much to chance. John’s health had not been good so his choice of Vice-President was critical. I think that choice cost him millions of independent votes and the election.

He may be one of the last moderate Republican Senators since the others are retiring this year or in 2020. He really represented the way our leaders should act. Few if any in Washington, D.C. could match his code of honor. Most Americans will miss you John S. McCain III.
