It’s 4:00 AM and after tossing and turning since 3:15, I finally could not take it anymore. I quietly got out of bed and closed the door to the bedroom so my husband could sleep. My head had been filled with headlines and they were beginning to run into each other creating confusion and chaos. Much like what is happening in our world today.
The biggest headline of the last few days has been about a dirty old man in Congress who thinks it is okay to be a dirty old man in Congress. As he gave his press conference about this matter, I felt as if I was watching a rerun of President Clinton when he looked in the camera one evening years ago and proclaimed to the world, “I did not have sex with that woman.”
We knew he was lying but we had to endure his arrogance about his perversion in the Oval office. And the irony of this week’s headline is: President Clinton officiated the marriage ceremony of the dirty old man to a now humiliated pregnant wife a few months ago. Mr. Weiner learned a lot from President Clinton and it wasn’t all about Democratic strategy.
There is a lot of laughter about this headline along with a lot of off-color jokes. We laugh at them because with a name like Weiner and his photos to match, you just can’t help yourself. Reality is…this is not a laughing matter and…
They’re cheating on US
This illicit behavior by our “leaders” is becoming an everyday headline. The big tough guy, Arnold, disappointed us when he admitted his 10 year lie to his wife, his family and to his followers. This was a “doozie of a lie” and included the words “Surprise, I had an affair and I’m the father of a 10 year old son.” After admitting such a head-spinning story, he proceeded to move out in the public arena planning his next movie as if that was okay and no big deal about the lie. A small black-lash happened and he has gone radio silent for a while. Don’t worry, however, “he’ll be back” and…

Then we have Mr. Edwards. The slick ambulance chasing attorney from North Carolina who ran for President was indicted this week for using campaign money to hide his affair and love child from his now deceased wife. Mrs. Edwards battled breast cancer and treatments which kept her hugging a toilet from the side effects. All the while her ambulance chasing husband was chasing a campaign worker and meeting up with her in hotel rooms to take the “pressure” off a tough campaign. Poor Mr. Edwards – his wife hugs a toilet while he hugs a mistress. And to top it off, Mrs. Edwards finds out about a love child from this meet up and has to endure rejection and humiliation while battling the cancer that finally took her life. The good news here – Mrs. Edwards told Mr. Edwards “I’m done” and left him. She finally was able to find some peace in her life before she died and…
They’re cheating on US
We haven’t heard of any illicit sexual encounters with President Obama yet but he’s playing games too. His golf game is getting pretty good. His trips abroad with his entourage of 500 people or more reflect more of a rock star than a President. He’s toasting world leaders and drinking champagne while eating roast duck. And back home the American people are counting coins to purchase gas and pay their light bills. Unemployment is rising and Mr. President “poo-poos” our concerns and tells us to hold on – “he’ll be right back to fix this after he takes another trip abroad or gets in another 18 holes ” and…
They’re cheating on US
All these headlines of today took me back to history classes of long ago. I kept thinking of Nero and the great fire that consumed Rome and destroyed most of it. The headline could easily have read: “For six days and seven nights, citizens watch helplessly as Rome burns.”
Rumor had it that the great fire was set by Nero and his men so it could be rebuilt to his liking. Nero instead blamed the Christians. He persecuted, tortured and executed them in the city square. The citizens did not buy into this belief and continued to blame Nero for the fire.
How ironic that “Nero” is here again. Our headlines and theirs are similar. Ultimately, the great fire helped bring Nero down. Roman citizens became discontented with his reign, his army threatened mutiny and he was declared a public enemy by the Senate.
The American people are also discontented with the reign of immoral, corrupt and dirty old men politicans. Citizens have grown weary of the persecution of others and want our leaders to take responsibility for their actions instead of using the “blame-game.”
Two thousand years later, people are still hungry for moral leaders who love the people and are there to serve them instead of their own voracious appetites of greed, lust and power.
It’s now 4:45 AM and I am sure sleep will not come until we clean house in DC or anywhere else government officials are playing games and snapping pictures of their “wieners” instead of doing their job.
They need to stop fiddling around. America is burning and Americans are burning mad!
We have a message for those who want to be our leaders. We’re on to you and your immoral compass has been exposed. We’re sick to death of this stuff. We’ve had enough. We’ve been scorned and your cheating on the American citizens is going to tell on you at the polls. We hope you lose sleep over this declaration – ‘cause we’ve been losing sleep under your "leadership."

Spot on Neil!
I make this same claim, daily.
This administration, the democrat party and media are accomplishing EXACTLY what they are trying to do - destroy this nation.
Nail on the head.
If they are deceitful about their personal lives and lie about it when caught, is it not reasonable to believe they will lie to their constituents about their true motives and what they are trying to accomplish in Congress?
I finally heard some public people saying what I have suspected for some time in the way I have been expressing it, i.e. Glenn Beck and Herman Cain said yesterday that they believed the American economy was deliberately being suppressed, held back, and sabotaged by our "leaders" and that our leaders were not acting in the best interests of the American people. And they are doing this deliberately!
For example:
We have plenty of energy resources in this country that we can develop, but the government won't let us do it. They won't give out the permits and restrict exporation and development. We have to buy our oil elsewhere so those high-paying jobs, our money, and our wealth get transferred to other countries instead of benefitting our own citizens. Foreign citizens and governments get our jobs, our money and our wealth instead of keeping it here at home for our own benefit.
If we were allowed to develop our energy resources, there would be an economic boom in this country and the recession would be over. Our currency would stop depreciating, prices of commodities would stabilize, and the American citizen would benefit.
It is the policy of our "leaders" to deliberately debase and depreciate the dollar. That drives up the cost of all goods and services and the cost of living for all of our citizens. The government then deceives us about the true rate of inflation so they can artificially keep interset rates down and COLA payments down.
If you assume that our elected officials have the best interests of the American people at heart, then it seems that what they do does not make sense. If you base your decisions on the assumption that they have some other agenda that conflicts with the best interests of the American people, then what they do makes perfect sense. Of course, they cannot come out in the open and say this, because it would anger the American people, so they have to conceal their intentions, and decieve the citizens about these things.
Everybody knows what it takes to get an economy moving: low regulation, low taxes, a stable currency, sound fiscal policies, and government policies that foster a stable and friendly business environment. We have none of these conditions at the present time,and until we get an administration and government that impliments these things, economic growth will be low or nonexistent, and the recession will drag on. 80% of the jobs in this country are created in small businesses, so it is obvoius that the government should create and foster an environment in which small businesses thrive. We do not have this. We have, in fact, the opposite.
But, on the other hand, I guess it wouldn't be "fair" if we were allowed produce wealth and be affluent and propsreous.
Silly me! What was I thinking?

At the root of all you say is a media in bed with one of the political parties and pressing their agenda rather than doing their job.
If Weiner were a conservative, the media would already have his head on a platter. If Edwards were a conservative, he'd have been prosecuted and jailed years ago. If Bush had played golf half as many times as Obama, gone on as many foreign vacations, bowed to foreign leaders or made half the snafus, they would have screamed for impeachment.
Turn off your TV, cancel your subscriptions and boycott their sponsors.
Amen, Billie! Enough of the cheating, lying, blaming, scandalous behavior and tearing down of America. We're looking for moral leaders who will not be corrupted when they take office. We've had it. Enough is enough. We the people have something to say ----and "We Ain't Goin' Away."
I would love to see these words in the headlines:
American citizens became discontented with his reign, his army threatened mutiny and he was declared a public enemy by the Senate.If you're not already aware. This is what's going on in DC while dangerous criminals are allowed back out on the streets. It's horrifying that this is happening to our citizens and veterans for protesting the hijacking of our election process. This is still happening! They are STILL being tortured and treated like full on terrorists.
You may not be aware of the typical things they're forced to go through...…
