As storms lash
Washington DC, I hope the politicians are aware of the irony of the situation. They
use God’s name to prove how good they are in comparison to other peoples of the
world. Now it looks as if God has had enough of their use of his name.
If
Sandy devastates Washington, I hope politicians realize nature or God is so
much more powerful than them and their foolish pronouncements!
Politicians
think that they have all the answers, but this, possibly the most devastating
storm in living memory, shows just how powerless they are. Twenty-five
foot waves predicted on Lake Michigan will cause major destruction to
properties. Hey Mitt, stand on the shore and tell the waves to go back to
Iran, where I’m sure he thinks they came from! Strangely enough he will not be
able to do much except get wet.
President
Obama could stand on the steps of the Capital and show his Nobel peace prize
and see if that makes the storm abate. Don’t
think so Mister President!

Now
as the storm roars towards the east coast, the candidates are changing travel
plans to keep campaigning. The television news channels are full of talking
heads pontificating about what impact the storm will have on the outcome of the
election!
Never
mind that people may be killed and injured. That hardly warrants a mention.The voting patterns may change, so
that’s much more important. Will
this favor the Democrats or the Republicans?Frankly,
I don’t give a rat’s ass for how it will affect either party. I’m more
concerned about the possibility of injury or death to residents in the affected
areas.
I
know of people who are calling relatives on the east coast to give them advice
and get them to places of safety.The
candidates are parroting the usual lines about following official advice! Duh!
If that’s the best they can do, they should hold their tongues!
In
situations like this, politicians feel helpless, so they talk in insulting clichés,
instead of saying nothing. Each candidate fears saying too much/not enough!
They are paralyzed into talking bollocks! People
may be killed? Where will the candidates campaign?There will be destruction of property!
Where will the candidates’ planes land?
Just stop being politicians and be human for a few days!This is important….politics just
isn’t! Before
these men invoke God’s name, they should realize he is sending them a message.
And they should heed it at their peril.They
aren’t in control of nature. In fact, they aren’t in control of anything. And
they hate that.
If
the good and the great get washed away in this storm, it would not be much of a
loss!Who would miss them?Maybe their families, but not the rest
of us!
This is a wake up call from the Almighty, but I doubt if the self absorbed
myopic occupiers of the seats of power will even understand the message, never
mind act on it.Stupidity and
greed will make sure nothing changes.
So
as the wind howls and the rain lashes down, the political elite and the talking
heads will continue to worry about how the storm will affect voting turnout.Very little concern will be shown for
the public and the devastation caused by the storm. This is because power to
rule is everything, but the power of the storm may well be their undoing.

Realist - Everybody in America is soft, and hates conflict. The cure for this, both in politics and social life, is the same -- hardihood. Give them raw truth.
