Tyranny of Incompetence


I am sure our Founding Fathers never could have realized the tyranny that we face today. It is not a king, a dictator or even a military General. I think the tyrant of today is incompetence and rewarding the stupid, lazy, cowardice and paying them to breed. Lee Iacocca writes "Where have all the leaders gone?". They're sure not in Washington or in most homes in America anymore. Parents cant stand up to a 5 year old child, let alone a teenager, politician, student or co-worker. We have become a nation of Dorothys from the "Wizard of Oz", frantic with our oil can to quiet the tin man. God forbid that someone suffer discomfort along the road less traveled. To please everyone would be nice but is unrealistic. The word "winner" cannot exist without the word "loser". Someone has got to "lose" the race, in war there must be a "victor" or the war is truly not over. Our children do not know this anymore, they all get trophies. They throw words around like fair. Nothing in life is fair if you are on the losing end. Ask the people of Cuba or Venezuela how they like the fairness of their countries. With 600,000 jobs a month going away in this country, moms and dads are going to lose jobs. Young people are going to lose cars, cell phones, and cable television. Meanwhile back at the ranch, we allow our schools to pull the biggest scam ever. They teach our kids polar bears are drowning so that politicians can finally tax the air we breathe. May the pouting begin!

  1. I wonder if John McCain and Hillary Clinton got nice little plastic trophies even though Obama won the presidency...
