Every one has asked the question, “What is wrong with our
country today?” I finally figured it
out. Remember Isaac Newton’s third law of motion? Me, neither, until I looked it up. “For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.” The same is true with Democrat and
Republican politics.
It is a war over ideology between the two parties so great
that nobody is governing. The people are so confused, they are unsure what
we’re fighting to achieve and who we want to win. Like my daddy used to say, “We don’t know whether to spit or go
blind.”
How else do you explain the Donald Trump phenomenon? I am astounded when I hear an otherwise
intelligent person say they love what Trump is saying and appear to be taking
him seriously. That’s where Newton’s law comes in. For every action that Trump says he will take as President, what
will be the equal and opposite reaction?
Do you really think that Mexico will pay for Donald’s wall and be glad
to do it? What will be the opposite
reaction? Remember, a wall works both
ways. Other than the wall, we have yet
to hear a single feasible plan to accomplish all the greatness he says he can
bring us. He is full of bluff and
bluster and frankly, the thought he would be in control of that red button
scares the begezzes out of me.
Trump’s rhetoric regarding Mexico and China is threatening
in nature. According to Newton’s third
law, they will be threatening in return.
Trump says repeatedly, “You treat me fairly and I will treat you
fairly.” That’s Trump’s version of
Newton’s third law.
We, as Americans, have come to expect a high level of
entertainment. We have no shortage of
that in this primary election season.
Governor Deal has been enjoying little to no scrutiny during
the distractions on the national scene.
He is moving unimpeded with his plans to take over our public
education. His administration continues
to give the appearance of the most corrupt ever. Erin Hames, Deal’s education policy advisor and architect of the
Governor’s education take-over plan, has left the Governor’s office to work for
the Atlanta Public School System. She
will be advising them on how to avoid the take-over of their school system by
Governor Deal. She got a $96,000 no-bid
contract. She will continue to offer
policy advice to Governor Deal. Only in
Georgia!
Last month Deal ordered an investigation of Planned
Parenthood in Georgia and then cut off funding for STD test kits the next
day. Good idea, Governor! Georgia ranks in the top ten for STD’s in
the nation. And by the way, this week
it was announced that no wrongdoing was found in the operations of Planned
Parenthood in Georgia. No word on
whether the funding for test kits will be reinstated.
There’s lots of “Deal” ing going on concerning gambling
casinos in Georgia. I have never read
such double-speak before as Deal’s statement on whether he is for or against
casinos. He is carefully choosing his
words, walking that thin line between openly approving, yet giving himself
deniability. He even disguises what
he’s talking about by calling it “expansion.”
He said that “if the people voted for expansion (translated, as in
expansion of gambling), in a constitutional amendment in 2016, he would not
stand in the way of enabling legislation.”
This is one time I’m glad we have a crooked governor because I hate
traveling to North Carolina to gamble.
Georgia, and the nation were rocked this week by the news
that President Jimmy Carter has cancer.
Think what you may about his presidency, but you can never question his
faith and his contributions to humanity.
Let’s all remember him in our prayers as he battles this illness.
