PUTTING POLITICS ASIDE

I am upset. I pay my taxes and I follow the laws of my country. However, the politicians in my country are many times an embarrassment to those of us who pay their lavish salaries.

Soon the prime minister of Israel is coming to America to express his concern over a nuclear agreement with Iran.

Apparently he has tried to meet with President Obama on different occasions and has failed to achieve this objective. It may be hard to work around the President’s golf schedule.

Golfing should be outlawed for all president’s. Barack is not the only one who has wasted time shooting a silly white ball into a stupid whole in the ground, when he should have been doing his job.I don’t see any other leaders of the free world spending as much time on golfing greens as our past legacy of presidents have done.

Since our President was too busy doing other things, the Speaker of the House took pity on PM Netanyahu and asked him to address Congress. Now the democrats are all in a stir because it wasn’t the President who asked. Does Barack Obama not have a phone to call the prime minister? If Barack does have a phone, then why, in God’s name, wasn’t he the first to invite Netanyahu to our country to express his concern?

This is a legitimate concern for the Prime Minister and everyone is painting him as the devil because it is close to his election date. They claim he is using it for political gain. NO SHIT! REALLY?!!!

Like the stupid Democrats who are threatening to boycott this meeting don’t have politics in mind? Like it doesn’t matter that Iran has said it wants to wipe Israel off of the map? I want to scream at the top of my lungs at them, “WOULD YOU JUST GROW UP ONCE?!!!”

There is more than this silly political ping pong that is going on here. It is obvious that the people we currently have in political office have not matured past junior high school thinking. I am being nice here because I really think the accurate assessment is more like preschool.

A mature adult will respect someone else’s opinion, even if the opinion is one which may conflict with their own. A mature adult is able to empathize and realize that if a neighboring country says it wants to wipe you off of the map and then wants to develop nuclear items you may want to stop that nuclear development at the start.

I have learned a lot from my brilliant son about things which were hard for me to swallow but were good for me to hear. I think that people who are not comfortable with their own viewpoint are the ones that become uncomfortable when hearing someone else’s. Those who are self-assured can listen to almost anything because they know who they are and someone else’s viewpoint can not shake that.

I applaud Netanyahu for the courage he has shown to follow through with this trip. I support him wholeheartedly in his desire to engage in diplomatic discourse regarding the nuclear threat of Iran.

I am ashamed at the response he is receiving from my country’s elected officials. I just wish they would grow up and graduate from preschool.
