“WILD PROMISES”
Has anyone ever
made you a promise and went back on their word?
Or, have they gained your trust by being in agreement with your
understanding only to change their mind and disagree with you later? I have to admit this has happened to me
several times in my life and it is always a challenge to cut through the bull, choose
to reconcile the relationship, or let go and move on.
The question
is: Is habitually breaking a promise or
flip-flopping an accident or a strategy?
If an accident, it might happen once, maybe twice, and you can try to
reconcile. But, when you see a string of
broken promises, you realize you are in a dysfunctional relationship and it may
be time to cut the cord.President Obama and the Democrat Party have made promise after promise to the American people. They have taken a strong position only to waver and falter when it was politically expedient. Obamacare’s costly rollout reminds me of a dishonest dysfunctional relationship where one promises diamonds but delivers plastic. Their strategy after 7 years of Senate Democrat leadership and 5 years of White House leadership is becoming clear; like drunks on a binge, they are racking up the credit card, promising more change down the road, and delivering more of the same, sometimes worse. It is evident we are codependents in this relationship with big government. Unfortunately, they are leaving Americans with a trail of financial, emotional, and physical devastation that our children and grandchildren will inherit, perpetuating the dysfunctional cycle for years to come.
Do we want our fate in the hands of deceptive habitual liars? Do we want servant hood or ‘selfie’ hood from our politicians? It is time for Americans to end this dysfunctional relationship with these so called leaders that are intoxicated with their own status, power, and desires. We can choose codependency or we can work toward our own future and freedom. We need to end the cycle of broken promises and flip flops at the ballot box in 2014. Wild promises that are broken should have consequences!
