That don't make good sense!

CONSERVATIVES AND REBUPLICANS, who are usually the same thing, believe overwhelmingly that the current high price of gas is president obama's fault, and that he could do something about it, but won't, because he wants high gas prices in order to get americans mad at capitalism, or some such drivel. 

They don't give many specific ideas about what the president could do, other than to sign legislation premitting more domestic drilling, which experts claim would have only a minor impact on the world oil market.

democrats, and liberals, (often the same thing) almost universally claim that obama has no power to favorably impact the price of oil, and thus, gas.

interestingly enough, during the bush administration everyone said exactly the opposite; democrats accused bush of unwillingness to lower prices, claiming that he had the power to do so, and republicans pleaded inherent presidential incapability; the president has no power to lower gas prices, so they then said.

during the 2004 presidential campaign republicans characterized john kerry as an elitist out of touch aristocrat; now its mitt romney's turn to be so characterized by the democrats. but the dems didn't mind kerry's wealth, and the republicans don't seem to mind mitt'

does all this possibly indicate that americans are perhaps a tad subjective and biased in matters of political issues? or maybe in matters of everything?

the long vaunted american trait of american fairness seems to be somewhat in question.

obama brags about the bailout and subsequent success of general motors. romney opposed everything obama did, seemingly automatically, while telling us that the "good" part of the general motors bailout was a romney idea, and by golly he'll be glad to take credit for it..whatever...with leaders like this, what do we expect, sanity? perhaps not.

"that don't make good sense. hell, that don't even make good nonsense," quoth davy crockett.

WE all know when we as well as our political leaders are speaking nonsense, deep down we know it, but we refuse to see our own lack of reason , consistency, and fairness. Is there any way we could just cut out the nonsense, the dishonest posturing, and get to work solving our problems?

"he loves not who does not see the faults of the beloved as virtues," said goethe, and goethe had a point, as always.

we all might do well do tone down our "my country right or wrong, my political viewpoint always right, that of my opponents always wrong" mentality. if we give ourselves blame or credit, let us give others the same treatment, under all circumstances.

if we don't stop the illogical nonsense, our angry national temporary insanity, we might end up living in a country where nothing positive is ever accomplished, because we have all forgotten how to accomplish anything.
