THE
WORD
Today I have two words. Each one individually could fit our category, but together, they become a negative fiasco. So the P word—or words, in this case:
Political Pundit
I hope you can see my point.
Politics, as a whole, rather than being a launching pad for the discovery of truth, has become a rocket jettisoned into the landscape of reasonability.
And a pundit is someone who already has decided, and makes the circumstances fit the philosophy, and the questions conform to stump answers.
Let me further unpeel the onion of nonsense by stating that a conservative approach to life is incapable of providing all the answers.
Likewise, as we take off the rose-colored glasses, let us admit that being liberal doesn’t always honor the kind of hindsight essential to balancing power.
So since both suffer from inadequacy, a little humility might be in order with the body politic—and certainly, the absence of anyone who becomes a champion for one thinking.
Alas, we don’t do it that way. Instead, once we decide on our political position, we become pundits of the party line. This has degraded our national dialogue down to hurling grenades of insults.
We are crazed.
Until we stop accepting politics and funding pundits, we will be a nation under the control of whoever can fund the most outlandish plans and suit up the prettiest announcers.
Political pundits: two words that need to be removed from our lingo.
We don’t need politics.
Just get the facts and make decisions based upon our Constitution and the convictions of our national soul.
We don’t need pundits.
Because once we discover what direction we’re going—whether conservative or liberal—what we are looking to achieve is unity, not dissent.
