U.S.A. -- who do you trust?

I personally have had it with democrats, I only hope we get a republican in office in 2016.    We need to have laws that when politicians do openly lie to us that they be held responsible for that, no more letting this lie or that lie slip into time , we need a time of accountability for actions, That's something many of them have forgotten. Of course in today's world I wouldn't trust the government with a can of corn.

People mostly loved Kennedy because they trusted him.

Nixon educated us to political reality.

Through all this, the media we read and listen to and watch grew in it's breadth and depth.

The old Movietone news we watched during WWII at our local theaters was often two weeks old.

By Korea it was a week old.

By Vietnam it was three days old.

By Gulf War I it was a day or less.

Now, with the wonders of the internet two important factors have emerged:  1) the news may be minutes old and 2) it is no longer controlled by networks, or governments.

Through all this media and real time development our country and the world has changed.  A politician can't lie and expect to get away with it anymore.  America is hundred of times smarter now than it was when Roosevelt ran.  If there's a lie, or a flaw, hundreds of people will find it and broadcast it over the net.

Speaking for myself, I no longer trust any politicians, ours or anyone elses'. 

Do you?

Oh, good.  Somebody's got a new sock.  Wishing for a Republican in the White House is like praying for Armageddon.

This map reminds me of a propaganda piece we were shown as 4th graders. It was a map of the world with countries turning red while menacing music played in the background and a deep male voice warned that the communist scourge was spreading quickly.

What we children were supposed to do about this I do not know. It was just meant to plant the seed of impending disaster I guess, same as this map.

Like all Progressives, when they cannot refute the facts, they make every attempt to change the subject.
