How is it that we can turn the reasoning for our laws over to the children?
As the OWE BOMB gathered the children letter writers scared about the new threats in society around, and put forth his initiative to do all these "new" things, we are once again reminded how vacant this last term was in meaningful, reasoned and functional leadership.
So, I went back to his Inaugural speech and read the words to see if I could find what I missed in the speech. In the transcript, it was even more evident that it wasn't there. REAL CONTENT. Meaningful direction and leadership instead of platitudes and generalities. It isn't going to happen with this guy.
For example; He said, "That is our generation’s task – to make these words, these rights, these values – of Life, and Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness – real for every American. Being true to our founding documents does not require us to agree on every contour of life; it does not mean we will all define liberty in exactly the same way, or follow the same precise path to happiness. Progress does not compel us to settle centuries-long debates about the role of government for all time – but it does require us to act in our time".
The words,"Progress does not compel us to settle centuries-long debates...... but it does require us to act in our time." No leadership in how to act.... but a call to action. Doesn't matter what the action is.... just do something. Hence these words, "For now decisions are upon us, and we cannot afford delay. We cannot mistake absolutism for principle, or substitute spectacle for politics, or treat name-calling as reasoned debate. We must act, knowing that our work will be imperfect. We must act, knowing that today’s victories will be only partial, and that it will be up to those who stand here in four years, and forty years, and four hundred years hence to advance the timeless spirit."
Wow.... what a bunch of nothingness. Can one say more without saying anything? I have heard this thing compared to The Gettysburg Address.... and other things... but there is no comparison. Those people had direction and gave specifics as how to move and why. Greatness doesn't come from words, it comes from inside and gives power to the words spoken. These words are vacant and it sounds like he is afraid of actually saying anything.
Absolutism for Principle? A principle is something that is.... it can not be ignored or you ignore at your own peril. It will not change from day to day or from circumstance to circumstance. Principles are Absolute. They by definition are that way. Substituting spectacle for politics, and treating name-calling as reasoned debate? You have got to be kidding! This from the mouth of the greatest drama master and bullying name calling king.
Listen Mr. President..... You can say things, it doesn't make them true, you can call us names, that doesn't make us what you call us.... you can define yourself any way you want... but that doesn't make you what you say you are. You may come from a privileged background trying to make yourself out as a poorboy made it big, but you are still a nose stuck in the air social elitist if all you can do is spout words and spend money like a drunken sailor. The only thing you have managed to do so far is destroy the people you SAY you are helping.... the problem is they still believe you and don't how bad you have hurt them.
That is enough for one day... just listen to this guy... he doesn't know how to talk... he just reads a teleprompter and everyone mistakes that for wisdom.
