Out of Words

It seems that I am out of words. I have been here before. The total futility of trying to change anything, unless it is for the worse, just gets overwhelming.

The war drags on and we need to get the troops home before the disarray in the Bush Administration creates some kind of additional disaster like the bombing of the barracks in Lebanon.

The plain and simple fact is that the vast majority of Americans didn't much care about the poor people of New Orleans before Katrina and we don't much care about them now. We don't want them to drown - at least not all at once - but we really don't want them to move into our back yard either. So we are putting "No Room in the Inn" signs on our cities and the displaced have to move on.

The social fabric of our country is slowly becoming tattered and frayed and we have no moral leaders. Those in leadership positions in the Church have lost credibility because they stepped away form faith and moved into politics. There is not some grand conspiracy of the secular world to belittle Christians, unfortunately the James Dobsons and Pat Robertsons of the our country have done that on their own.

Leadership in the Political world is non-existent. As strange as it sounds if I were to be tasked with deciding who the next president would be, I think I would choose Maxine Waters and John Conyers as her VP. As far as I can see they are the only ones with any real leadership in the whole elected US Government.
