The False Promises of Politicians

For decades Presidential candidates have always centered their candidacy on promises of better things to come. One can remember John Kennedy’s first inaugural speech. That speech which resonated the coming of an age where the citizens of the United States would no longer feel abandoned by their elected officials and President. A ray of hope appeared that January day back in ’61. But ever since that fateful day in November of ’63 the disenchantment of millions all across the country has been a constant reminder that our politicians have never lived up to the expectations that John Kennedy envisioned for this nation.

Now we are in the 21st century where the political process has been corrupted by the sheer ineptness of political leaders and candidates. They continue to renege on the promises they offer to the American public. The travesty of our political process is due to the generational decline in the educational process of our youth. Since John Kennedy we have endured 6 decades of a nation in decline.

Now we are in the midst of another Presidential year. A time where one is reminded that our Presidential candidates will once again feed a gullible American public with rhetoric in which they have no idea on how to keep their word. The sad commentary for our times is that we really are as a nation so gullible and naive to actually vote for that one candidate. 

Another sad truth that shows how corrupt our political process has become is that over 70% of the American public are ignored by the power structure of both political parties. The enormous costs that are involved to mount a Presidential campaign has derailed so many potential candidates that do have the aptitude and convictions to relay a sincere message to the American public. But they never get a chance to gain the acceptance either from the mainstream media or both political parties.

The United States was built on a solid foundation of Liberty, Justice, Morality, and Education.  No longer can we as a nation tolerate the erosion and assault of our founding principles by politicians who continue to fail the American public. 

Today when the choice of Presidential candidates that are currently campaigning it is quite evident that the American public will once again find themselves abandoned by an existing power structure of both political parties and the media. They are the ones that have taken hold of our political process. And until we actually realize that our lives and livelihoods are all intertwined by a power structure that perpetuates the growing instability and divisions in our nation, we will continue to be at the mercy of not a democratic process but of a tyrannical ruling class.
