Our first president, George Washington, warned us, in his farewell address, that a two-party political system may very well prove to be our undoing. It looks like ole George was quite the prophet. Not only are our two present-day political parties proving to be our undoing, but today's professional politicians, of which our two parties are comprised, are more than willing to sacrifice what is best for our country and its citizenry, for the sake of their own political careers. No longer are we, the people, represented by sacrificial public servants who agree to serve one term as our representatives, at great cost and inconvenience to themselves, in order to champion our best interests. Instead, we are now "represented" by self-serving professional politicians, who not only turn elected office into lifelong careers, but also use their office to accumulate for themselves fabulous fortunes. 

In light of the above, is there any wonder that Republicans are worried about our conflict with the mad mullahs of Iran costing them the midterms? The fact that Donald Trump, unlike previous self-preoccupied politicians, in both parties, who have either turned a blind eye to or attempted to bribe the mad mullahs of Iran, for pure political expediency's sake, has actually taken on the mad mullahs, in order to prevent mushroom clouds from going up someday in Peoria, has the whole Republican Party petrified over its plummeting poll numbers. Of course, Republican poll numbers are plummeting because our pampered populace prefers lower gas prices at the pumps to the prevention of a mushroom cloud going up over Peoria. 

Now, don't think for a second that our other political party, the DNC, is not as damnable for its self-preoccupation, at the expense of the welfare of our country and its citizenry, as the GOP. Indeed, it is even more damnable, since it fast tracked, with Obama's JCPOA, and funded, with our taxpayer dollars, the mad mullahs of Iran's mad dash toward nuclear weapons, while at the same time gaslighting the American public into believing, as the naive ninny Neville Chamberlain once did Great Britain, on the precipice of World War II, that it had secured for us peace in our time, by mollycoddling the mad mullahs, just as Chamberlain did Adolf Hitler. Democrats have proven time and time again that they are more than willing and ever ready to commit any treasonous trespass, as long as it will aid their political party and advance their political careers. 

The story is told in ancient mythology of a magic vest, which granted everyone who wore it all of their wishes. However, there was a catch; every time a selfish wish was made the vest grew tighter on whoever was wearing it. Alas, in the end, everyone who ever donned the vest ended up choked to death by it. Well, with our country cloaked today with self-serving politicians, self-preoccupied political parties, and a pampered populace, it's safe to say that we're being choked to death by it all.
