Political children
To the editor:
What are “political children”? The answer is simple enough if one looks at the problem at hand from a child’s perspective. We can easily pair the “political children” with the liberals in this country. They desire the simple solutions in life to their complex problems. Has the Obama administration had any problems? There were a few, some more noteworthy than others. Let’s look at them. At last count there were over two dozen scandals in progress. But for our purposes here we will confine our focus on just a few of the more notable ones that have occupied the printed pages and the airwaves of the media.
In the area of political scandals, the Obama administration is the “gift” that keeps on giving. Each day is fraught with a new perspective of the woes in progress.
And so, a child looks in wonder and, with fingers crossed, hopes for a solution.
The Great Pumpkin was sought to help with the IRS scandal. However, the Great Pumpkin has yet to the proper patch or a solution.
Following close behind, we have the “Fast and Furious” fiasco. And fast and furious was the reaction of denial from Eric Holder, the beacon of justice. He consulted the Tooth Fairy without success. He is now running for the exit.
All reports from the Easter Bunny point towards another problem still cooking. Benghazi is lurking in the wings and has yet to enjoy its day of reckoning. Where are the “eggs” of this scandal hiding?
And now we have on center stage, the errant judgment of Hillary Clinton as it pertains to her: misuse, disuse, and disbelief surrounding her decision to once again, in true Clinton fashion, disdain the regulation commanding others and to go her own way. Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead! The children are dropping this one into the lap of Santa Claus. Can he and his army of elves avoid the chimney of failure?
Stay tuned folks; a possible vision is on the horizon for these children. It looks like a horse and rider. The prayers of the children might see their salvation in the guise of a shining knight. Is it Sir Galahad coming to the rescue in his coat of shining armor? Could it be? No, it is not Sir Galahad. As the horse and rider slowly ambles towards the children we discover the identity. It is Don Quixote, in tarnished and well-worn armor, his horse looking hopefully for a decent meal and lodging. The children rush to their savior, open arms in evidence bringing food stamps for the horse and praise for the rider.
The children this night will go to sleep with visions of victory. But children are so easily pleased, is the leitmotif of their politics safe?
