Fiesta!!!
Most folks enjoy
a good party; everyone puts their best foot forward, food and spirits are
flowing, music is playing, and elbows
are rubbing as party goers catch up on what’s what and who’s who.
I suspect this
happens at most of the political fundraisers that are happening at any moment
across America. Perhaps that is why we
call these groups ‘political parties’.
Perhaps that is why people of money, influence, and power are drawn to
lead these political fiestas.
As the border
crisis unfolded, I could not help but wonder how certain people of influence
responded; President Obama(Democrat) was invited by Texas Governor Rick Perry (Republican) to
come down and see for himself this ‘Katrina
moment’ of human calamity. Obama
declined choosing instead to attend political campaign fundraisers in Texas. These ‘fat-cat’ campaign fiestas range from $10,000
to $30,000 a plate with all the food, alcohol, and hob knobbing one can
consume. I imagine high dollar donors
got a photo-op with the photo-op Selfie and Chief who does not do photo-ops for political
purposes, except for political campaign events when the price is right! Our President, responsible for our border
security, was AWOL on the wall choosing parties and party lines over compassion
and leadership.
On the other side
of the political spectrum, Glenn Beck (Conservative Libertarian ) and his Mercury One nonprofit organization was delivering loads of food,
clothing, and toys to the children in need.
Glenn Beck did not do this for a photo-op but because he felt in his
heart of hearts it was the right thing to do.
Come to think of it, how wonderful if Obama and the Democrat party would
have had a heart of hearts moment and announce that all the money they had
collected in those few days of fundraising would go to charities like Mercury
One to help relieve the suffering of the border children.
When an ordinary citizen outshines the
President of the United States and the largest money making machine in political
history, the Democrat Party, during a humanitarian crisis, you know something is
awry with this president and his political party.
