Snake-oil Salesmen

When I look at these pandering politicians, I’m reminded of the snake-oil salesmen wandering around this country in the 1800s. When their “medicine” didn’t cure you, you were told you hadn’t taken ENOUGH of their concoction - you needed MORE of it. That’s the mindset of do-nothing politicians, instead of crackdowns on gangs, gunrunners, etc.

I would like to see it made mandatory that all politicians take and pass a course on root cause analysis and implementation of permanent corrective actions. This in addition to have been out in a manufacturing environment for at least a decade.

Also it should be mandatory for them to pass 8th grade Civics and the written, fully proctored US citizen’s test before being able to run for any position. Maybe then they will understand their roles as public servants and that they’re not our leaders or overlords

Your school still teaches civics?

I’m thinking the opposite, the voters just have to vote for who’s smart.

I.e. Rand Paul vs “peach him” Maxine Waters

Ever wonder why it is a crime to lie if you testify before congress, but it is not a crime for them to lie to the American people? The voters really need to remind these people that they work for us, not rule us.

USHiatory and Civics easily debunks the 1619 Project and CRT. Should be mandatory and more in depth. Though Slavery and racism is a horrible stain on many countries CRT and 1619 Project are make belief.

Clint East wood had real buildings built for this movie & in the movie he told them to get 300 gallons of paint & it actually took 500 gallons to paint the town. He is one of the best & can never be replaced. PS in another topic : quotes : someone said “ IF YOUR GONA SHOOT “ that was DUCO ( Eli WALLACH ) I met him & his wife
In New Haven Ct. when he was in a play at Long Warfh Theater.:paraguay::paraguay::paraguay:

Criminals are excellent fuel for political power. So long as the criminals only ply their trade on the people and not government there is usually no problem between the two groups.

You’d think politicians wouldn’t want the competition from criminals.

It’s more of a symbiotic relationship.

Look at how literally West Coast cities have been turned into open-air, public toilets - San Francisco, in particular. Pelosi lives at least a mile away from the worst areas, in a gated community. Radio host Michael Savage says he almost threw up when he saw someone dumping outside the restaurant he was eating in.
