It's All About . . .

Have we lost the concept of the Golden Rule in our culture? At every turn one can read, see or hear sorry examples of self-centered finger pointing and outright lies. The political climate, in this authors estimation, is the sorriest.

Is it time to clean house in Washington, D.C.? What would it be like to have 535 genuine statesman who thought first of others? Merriam Webster's dictionary defines statesman as, "one who exercises political leadership wisely and without narrow partisanship." By this definition, an obvious dearth exists in our current national leadership on every level.

While the readership of this blog is rather limited, this blogger believes it is time for a groundswell of grassroots activists to rise up and say, "It's not about you, Mr./Ms. Politician!" It's all about "We the People!" Sadly, "We" have lost interest in the political process because of its complexity, crassness and carnality.

Much discussion is going on about the 2006 mid-term elections. The Democrats are salivating at the opportunity to recapture control of the legislative branch. The Republicans are sweating over the hapless faux pas' that the esteemed leadership continue to make and the ethical lapses in which others are caught. How about "We the People" rise up and let them ALL know that we have the opportunity to vote out 435 congress"people" and replace them with genuine leaders that have the public's interest at heart and not the political pork or project.

Thanks for reading Differencemaker's diatribe. We can make a difference in the political pollution of our culture. Let's start now!

Always make a difference!
