People want to have each other's rights quelled but when an innocent Black person gets frisked and when an innocent White cop almost gets sentenced to prison for defending himself against a lethal threat, they will both be saying that the system is not working properly when it comes back to haunt them. Why is that?

because everything is about control. the ruling elite want to control the population in any manner that they can. so they lay out what they want us to do, under the guise of the rule of law or regulation. they force us into little boxes, but they can essentially do what they want because they feel they are above the law.

Because most politicians are sociopaths at some level. They will say anything to get power, and fundamentally regard themselves as above the law.

Or like how Donald Trump wants illegal immigrants to go back home....yet hires illegals to build his hotels.

Or how Trump the Dump whines about outsourcing...yet his clothing line MADE IN MEXICO and CHINA.

Hypocrisy is simply a virture amongst today's GOP loony teabaggers.

The GOP's new slogan: "Do As I Say, Not As I Do"

Or how Obama whines about income inequality then pays women much less than men.

Or how Bernie whines about raising the minimum wage but pays his people much less than his proposed minimum.

Or how Al Gore preaches about CO2 and then produces more CO2 every year than 10 average households.

Wouldn't it be a treat to have a politician that actually walks the talk and lives his life appropriately according to his beliefs and values.


There is no such thing as an honest politician though they try and trick us to believe there is.


It is crazy how Obama tells us we all need to cut our emmissions yet he goes jetting all over the world. He just finished his vacation on Marthas Vineyard. I lived there when he visited there before and it is a small island that gets packed with tourists in the Summer. Whenever Obama went out to get an ice cream he would take at least a dozen vehicles snarling up half the island as he shut down roads. All those hundreds of idling cars for an ice cream. Crazy.

All the politicians Rep and Dems all have an air about them that their poop doesn't stink. They are the ruling elite supposedly working for the little man.
Why do you think Trump is so popular? It is because he is a total reversal of the political system and he tells it like it is which is refreshing for a change.

Look at your lives and count the number of truly honest, principled, trustworthy people you deal with. Not to mention, look in the mirror and see if you count as one of them. I'm willing to bet you won't find too many of those kind of people. This political hypocrisy is simply an extension of the personal hypocrisy that runs amok around and possibly in you.
