For The People

If the money spent on political campaigns were instead used to fight hunger, poverty and other dire needs this would be a wonderful world to live in. The same is true for the budget for war machines and other things that are not directly benefiting mankind. Political machines are not for the benefit of the voting public in most cases but for the politicians. There are some benefits to government but few that are solely for the people. Most often the statement, "those that cry the loudest are the ones that benefit" is true when it comes to politicians. The other truism is that the lobbyist with the most money is the one that will be heard. We need to stop the in-fighting between the far left and far right before our country is destroyed. Special interests and big government are not the answer either. Government control over everything is an opening for total loss of our rights and freedom. I don't often get political in my posts but the present landscape leaves more than a little to be desired. There are very few candidates available for election that are trustworthy enough to be put into office. It does not speak well for the political landscape when you have to choose the lesser of two evils for office. With that said, I am done with this post for this week.
This week is another of the Moontear images.

Thank you for stopping by and, hopefully, commenting. That is it for this week. May the good Lord bless and Keep you. Remember to "Always Love The Details."

  6. I am in total agreement with you Jim, politics has gotten so out of hand and nothing benefits the people of this great Nation. I just told my dad the other day that we the people need to take our country back. It's definitely a sad state of affairs for sure. Just think of what that money could be used for! So much wasted money in government and it breaks my heart at where we are today.

    Love this image, so sweet, so gorgeous and so wonderfully brought to life by your coloring Jim!!! Hugs and blessings, Brenda

  8. Trust, honesty, and respect seem to have been replaced with greed, lies, and control in the world of politics. I hardly recognize our country anymore, but I try to remain hopeful in spite of it all. The way you colored this image is most impressive! It's just amazing what you are able to do with your Copics!

  12. It occurs to me that there surely, among the 330 million Americans, there must be a better choice, a far, far better choice, than Trump or Biden. Looking in from the outside it appears that the country is coming apart.
