Healing the great divide

[Grouch]

As a newbie here, I hope it isn't presumptuous to start a thread, but here goes anyway. I contend that it is not the Republicans nor the Democrats who are responsible for the great division in our country. It's the PROFESSIONAL politicians of both stripes that are the problem.

Our founding fathers would have puked on their buckled shoes at the mere mention of characters as scurrilous and duplicitous as those who infest Washington, DC, the State Capitols and the City Halls of our nation. These trough feeders have no allegiance to the welfare of our citizens and exist only to sustain their nasty-assed jobs and tiny power bases. Think on it a bit and I suspect you'll see the problem as clearly as I do.

Having then, identified the problem, I'd be remiss if I didn't recommend a solution. So with tongue firmly in cheek, here it comes. Let's adopt a plan to DNA test every elected elected official in the USA. From the test samples, let's isolate the gene that drives an otherwise decent human being to seek a political career. Once identified, the problem becomes manageable. We simply DNA test every newborn for this political gene and when we find it, drive a stake through their evil little hearts!

Hell, in a couple of generations we can reclaim our great country from the scoundrels who are ruining it and get back to things we do best like creating obesity and destroying the environment, not mention creating a SH nation or two.

You really have no idea why public servants serve, do you?

In the political realm it's about the acquisition, application and maintenance of power. In addition, your sense of humor is clearly lacking.

Our system of government is under assault by a narcissistic lunatic in the WH and his nutjob far right enablers in the Congress. Humor is not what’s needed right now, sick humor especially.

Would 10 years in uniform and 2 WARS have given me a clue? If you think our professional politicians are in it for the good of the public try this: Stand in front of your mirror and pronounce EVIAN backwards. If that doesn't help, contact me about an exclusive opportunity to acquire some low lying Florida real estate.

I did eight years of military service. Didn’t leave me as clueless as you appear to be.
