   You are absolutely right! This site will blow you away!

   The amazing part is that we all know this “stuff” is going on… ask anyone….we know government is corrupt and fat on our tax dollars and the influence that buys them. The higher up you go the worse it is. Really makes me want to throw up!

   We need to send all these thieves back to kindergarten; you know the saying… everything you need to know in life you learned in kindergarten. Well these guys forgot all the basics.
   1. don’t lie
   2. don’t cheat
   3. don’t steal

   I know I would disown my children if any of them acted so irresponsible with money – especially someone else’s money! They would have dishes every night for the rest of their lives; I would take their car privileges, and make them give a formal apology to those they ripped off. They would be mowing lawns, babysitting, and anything else they could find to do to pay off the money they flushed down the toilet! I know my kids learned the basics in kindergarten and I worked hard to reinforce those important lessons. They know there are consequences for their actions and are not afraid to take responsibility for their mistakes when they lose their way.

   Truth is, all of us can and probably have lost our way once or twice in our lives. For most of us we recover, feel remorse, and repent because we are surrounded by others that help us find the right path again. I am afraid, based on what we have learned about our politicians, there aren’t enough good guys left in the group to provide the moral compass to set them back on the right path.

   What we have instead is a large group of liars, cheaters, and stealers that use each other to erase any guilt and justify their actions. The few politicians that are passionate about their role as a civil servant and hold tightly to their pledge to represent the people are treated as the outlaws – they are called arrogant and shunned by the corrupt.

   Any fifth grader will tell you that as they get farther from kindergarten they are exposed to more and more temptations and opportunities to depart from the three basics – that is why they have “Parent Teacher Conferences” and why most principals are really mean and scary looking….

   Who is the principal for our senators and congressmen? We have left them alone in the classroom far too long! They have rifled through the teacher’s desk and have passed around all the answers to the test. There are only one or two that refused to take it – they had tough parents at home reinforcing the kindergarten basics and have managed to hold on to that training. The others will band together, protecting each other because they are all in it together; one falls, they all fall.

   I think it is time for a “Parent Teacher Conference;” we need to get the principal!

   I think it is time for term limits. That way you do not need a principal ! People would not make a carrier at Washington. This may even bring out the best in many. The few that would go astray. They might find a helping hand to save themselves. At least we would only have to deal with them so long if not. Money brings out the worst in politicians. And in Washington it is a white wash convention. Or should I say green wash. And companies now this and throw money around so everybody gets involved. Thank you for reading this. Danny
