Obama, HIllary and McCain Are Huffing & Puffing and Blowing the Storm Away!

The Only Thing We Have to Fear Is... Them!

There are plenty of warnings that the world is going to change.

I probably should say world with a capital "W".

The changes that are coming will be major ones. Changes in the economy. Changes in politics. Changes in the way we live in a much of the West, especially the United States.

Today, we have three major political candidates who are stumping around the country telling us basically what we want to hear; that the government gravy train will continue as it has since the 1930s; that the world will be our friend if we only talk to the murdering thugs who want to have atomic toys; that we will retain our freedoms in this country, to come and go as we please, to not be under the thumb of foreign control.

We have nothing to fear but fear of not..."changing".

There is no one soul sitting back and taking a jaundiced look at our world, no one statesman, saying, "Excuse me! Pardon me!"

We have no Winston Churchill, who sounded the clarion call about Adolph Hitler, who saw the clouds of a gathering and deadly storm.

We have little men and little women running around executing the best of Chicago politics, by exemplifying the official Chicago motto, which is "Ubi Est Mea" (Where's mine!). Two of the political candidates have roots in Chicago. They think it's all a game. That's how it's done in this city and state. The pigs go to the trough and the souy never runs out. The pigs are dressed up in all their hoggery finery and delivered to us all as silk purses.

No silk purse is going to have the dough or the heft to take on what's coming, swing as they might at the bad guys.

Turn back the clock, Sherman.

We spend time amusing ourselves to death. I'm just as guilty as the next. Why not? Who wants to think about hacking your diseased leg off to save a the body?

It's the vision thing.

Remember that? George H. W. Bush said he didn't have it.

At least he was honest, and knew himself.

The gnats running around today of both parties are flying around naked. They think they are dressed up and swank, but they need a complete makeover.

Hillary, Obama and McCain. The Three Little Piggies.
