POLITICS: THE REAL ENEMY

We all, at one time or another, have thrown in the phrase, ”Oh, that’s just ‘Politics’.”, or “He (or she) got where he (or she) is through ‘Politics’.” It has become the default explanation to all things that “fly South” in a person’s life, particularly when it comes to their job, their Church (yet another commentary), local government etc. Politics is one of the side affects of being “fallen people” by nature. Just about every Deadly Sin can be executed or exercised through Politics.

Every entity has a mechanic, if you will, that makes it “run” consistent with its own propositions and objectives. Standing alone, and permitted to “run” will provide its own success or failure within its own parameters. Government with a Constitution such as these United States has a frame of laws and process to alter those laws built into it. It, of itself, part of the construct, will, by its “nature”, provide fairness to the Greater Good of all who are under it. Will “ALL” be satisfied? Of course not, but in the end the “Greater Good” will be served. “Politics” and its intrusion on the basic mechanics of government and that Constitution disrupts and corrupts those mechanics built into the proposition.

The structure of “this” government has 3 branches, Executive, Legislative and Judicial, each with their “order” in this Republic (we are NOT a Democracy. We “are” a Republic, governed by laws that use a democratic process within those laws. A “Democracy”, on it’s own could be a “Lynch Mob”). The intrusion of “Politics”, for one example, afforded the Judicial Branch of California to overturn the “will of the people”, based on a duly sanctioned voting process, to permit “same sex marriage”. Now I’m not arguing whether “same sex marriage” is right or wrong, but I am saying that the intrusion of a “Political will” dismantled a Legal process, sanctioned under the Law, nullifying “the will of the people” following the legitimate procedure and process.

Presently, we are dealing with an issue with Energy. There are practical and Common Sense considerations on both sides of this issue. “To Drill or Not To Drill”. Well, with the outcry for “Foreign Oil Independence”, the “common sense” action ‘would’ be to drill domestically especially with the knowledge that China, on the other side of the hemisphere ‘will’ in this hemisphere. Intruding on the “debate”, and I use the term loosely, because our Congress refuses to debate the issue, is the “Political agenda” of those who would benefit greatly by dismissing fossil fuels as an energy source. Most people have no problem with a more diversified approach to powering the country, but to dismiss fossil fuels that are attainable “here”, and have been for decades, is tantamount to “throwing out the baby with the bathwater”. The intrusion of Politics in this debate has produced claims of global warming and greenhouse gases that have not been proven to any conclusion. In fact, those who were originally part of the study were summarily dismissed when they uncovered contradictions to the agenda.

“Politics”, by nature, is intended to serve the desires of a select few. It is a, by nature, selfish, greedy, lustful, gluttonous entity rooted in envy (5 out of 7…hmmmmm). Worst of all, it has no kinship to truth or justice in its fabric and that lacking only takes us further away from God.
