Looking South

.
I have heard that when you are standing at the North Pole, no matter which direction you turn, you can only look south.

I never really thought much about those words until recently when I watched a documentary about the Cuban Missle crisis.  It seems the Russian Communist Party leader, Nikita Kheushchev, told that to President John Kennedy accusing the President of not being able to see any other view but his.  And so the world stood waiting for the End of Days to come.  And so close we were.  And so close we are now.  And now I know what that slogan means.

So true it was that our President's views today are much the same as JFK's some 50 years ago.  Obama has that that same inability to compromise with anyone, even those of his own Party.  His way or no way.  "Tax the rich or I won't agree to any fiscal budget," is what he blusters.  And that has gotten our Country nowhere.

But you know, it's not just Obama.  It is with most of our elected officials that have built a career into thier appointments.  Once they feel comfortable at the top of thier world, they can only look down on use as they refuse to compromise on anything that doesn't serve their personal needs.

And I'm tired of that.  That is not a democracy.  And that is the down turn of American politics.

So. I've said it before, I will not vote to re-elect any senior representive, Republican or other, who has demonstrated that "Looking South" attitude.  Any I encourage you to do the same.  You should already know who these idiots are.  So look up, but not to, them and vote them out.
