CHARADE: AMERICAN POLITICS

In the world of "good cop bad cop" American politics, we've had generations of throwing out the present bums to elect an equally corrupt set of leaders from the other party. Our two party system allows for culprits to invent opposing sides with surface differences while the nation goes in a single direction ... in this case, straight to Hell.
The American public has grown reasonably comfortable with settling for the lesser of two evils rather than taking steps to create more options, and give more people an opportunity to vie for leadership, some of whom would set the nation on edge by going back to times when our thinking was straighter and our world position more respected. But, these would be "third parties" that are generally deemed a lost cause and indeed, other than Ross Perot's bid in 1992, have been a lost cause that never even tried to be a contender.
But what about the public? Doesn't the public care what happens to the country? It's a reasonable guess, at least from what I hear, that the public at large feels we, the people, can't do anything but vote and hope for the best. If that's all there is to voting, and it doesn't matter who votes but who counts the votes, then trying to just get along seems to make sense in its own way. The problem is, it isn't the right thing to do, which doesn't seem to bother as many people now as it did fifty years ago.
The idea that expressed itself most flamboyantly in the huge American automobiles of the 1960's as "bigger is better" has all but eliminated the American middle class, the bastion, stronghold and power of any republic. Big is now big pharma, big oil, big banking, mega-sized stores that destroy individual enterprise, big technology that few of us understand even though we use computers every day for our email, news browsing, weather and sports. Big Something is running the country, and the people who were the bulwark of American life, business and society are now the patrons of the businesses that buy from the Far East, sell to Americans, and take jobs, money and vital strength out of our nation. Big Media informs us that Big Government is doing its job to keep the world "free" when the world never has been free, but America came as close as any body politic had ever come in recorded history.
People ask for answers and the answer is very simple: there will be no freedom as long as there is evil in the hearts of human beings, and since evil is inherent in human nature, history records one nation and empire after another falling because of unbridled evil, within or without.
What is so annoying is the charade.
What is even more annoying is that people go along with the charade, even believing it.
The believers, who cannot see that the charade exists, that one party gets by with such-and-such, then turns the reins over to the other party to complete the task while the first party objects as a loyal opposition, are loyal to a barnyard that stinks like what it is ... a pile of bull waste. It doesn't matter which side of the yard these folks believe in, it's all made of the same refuse. They can't see it and won't say they smell it.
If a person wants to see what their country is, take a look at what it calls art or music. When the so-called art is trash, the music sounds like something from a jungle sick with fever, when the fashions of the day are either extremely expensive clown costumes or nighties in disguise, and the everyday wear of the common people looks like yard cleaning grubbies, something is wrong. That says people have lost their self respect, their discernment is dead and their lives are out of control.
Move that up a step and it doesn't matter how the leadership dresses, that may reflect propriety, but if the junk that moves the world toward chaos is all that is produced, then the leaders may as well wear the same clothes as the guys who appear as country music stars with a three-day growth of beard and a soiled tee shirt over torn jeans.
It's difficult for a cactus to masquerade as an orchid. It doesn't seem to be difficult for the world's most evil crooks to appear as leaders. They simply accept one another as such, while the public goes along with the game.
Charades used to be a parlor game.
Now it's the world political scene.
Yes, there is still a standard, but it is out of vogue. Instead of praying to God, leaders are trying to play God. As long as the majority settles for this kind of government-dominated, Bible-hating religious exercise and worships the charaders, chaos will continue to reign.
Those of us calling out that the world is on a collision course with disaster don't curry favor with the powers in charge.
The answer was given to us thousands of years ago, but no one really listened. It's the natural way to let someone else lead, and if the leaders are bad, as history reflects they have been, then the world gets worse.
But it's the only world we have. That's why some of us would like to see decent people take charge, but perhaps the power would only reveal the latent evil that seems to emerge when decent people acquire power.
I don't have an answer. I believe in the God who does have it, recorded it in advance, and appears to be sending signs that this charade will end. Then it really is a matter of just two sides ... heaven or hell. The time to make that choice is now, later is too late. The charade will be over, the truth will prevail.
While we wait, the charade goes on, as do our elections, our government oppression, our face to the world.
