Earlier this week Fox News Show host and outspoken conservative, Sean Hannity, made an analogy to explain the divisive nature that was displayed in our recent election...
We are a country split right down the middle...we are like two parents...one permissive, the other disciplinarian...
After reflecting on this analogy, it became apparent to me that Sean’s analysis had some merit...
The PERMISSIVE PARENT: Liberal, progressive, experimental, inclusive, relativistic, pragmatic, self-centered, superficial, spontaneous, controlling, impulsive, narcissistic...
The DISCIPLINARIAN PARENT: Conservative, traditional, values oriented, other centric, independent, ethical, virtuous, spiritual, sacrificial, self controlled, accountable, unique...
Please realize that the above comparison invites discussion, debate, and reflection, and is not intended to absolutely and accurately define the divide that currently exists in our populace...
Any attempt to CLASSIFY our citizenry is by definition DIVISIVE...and as such, is self serving, politically expedient, and ignorant of rugged individualism...
Which for years has been the hallmark, the benchmark, and the high water mark by which EVERY AMERICAN was described and assessed...
Extending these thoughts to the present, ALL ELECTED PUBLIC SERVANTS ought to be realistically fiscally responsible and courageously transparent enough to FIX WHAT IS WRONG in our country...
You get elected as a Democrat, Republican, Independent, Libertarian, etc., but ultimately you must serve ALL and decide what is best for ALL...THAT IS THE AMERICAN WAY...
Rewarding those who agree with you ideologically, appealing to classes, citing racism, segregating the populace into economic castes, and refusing to abide by proven principles all ignore about 50% of the electorate and is morally and politically self serving...AND IS ANYTHING BUT AMERICAN...
True public service demands ACCOUNTABILITY, RESPONSIBILITY, and TRANSPARENCY...And that seems to be a lost ART in the milieu of today’s politics...
THINK AMERICAN...AND...GOD BLESS ALL AMERICANS...AND...
HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND...!!!
