Why are politicians so weak? Remember last year when we were all waiting for the Republican-led House of Representatives to (justifiably) impeach Joe Biden and investigate the Biden crime family? It never happened, and we know why—Republicans are largely squish. Democrats seem able to do things like that, but then, the best defense is a good offense. The utterly corrupt Democrats must do it to protect themselves.

I was having lunch with a friend recently. “The Republicans need to indict Mayorkas and Garland next year,” he said. And I told him, “It will never happen. The Republicans are too weak, too cowardly to do that, especially with the RINO leadership they have in the House and Senate.” My friend reluctantly agreed with me. “Yeah, you’re right, they won’t.” With nothing to lose anymore, Joe Biden pardoned his criminal son of all offenses. There’ll be no blowback on Joe, no price to pay, so there was no reason not to. I’m going to be some kind of mad if Donald Trump doesn’t pardon every J6 “offender” on January 20. I think he will, or soon after that.
But, by and large, politicians are weak creatures because they are afraid of offending too many people. And it is all because their first concern—every politician’s—is power. They love it. They worship it. They lust for it. They live for it. They’ll do anything they can to get it and hold onto it. And if that means compromising justice, the law, and the well-being of the people, they’ll do it. They are weak; they will sacrifice virtue and character for any disgusting cause, and they are rarely strong enough to stand up and defend what is truly noble, righteous, and virtuous.
If they can have power and help people, too, well and good, and occasionally those two things do coincide. Occasionally. But if there is a conflict between power and the welfare of the people, 99.9% of the time, they’ll ransom the people to keep their selfish grip on power. That is true all through history. And our beloved government is no different than any other in that regard. Politicians are the scourge of the earth and always have been.
Doing the right thing isn’t difficult. Well, let me amend that. Knowing the right thing to do isn’t difficult. Through his word and natural law, God has told us what is right and wrong, and politicians should follow the right and point the people in that direction. True leaders WILL do that. Finding such leaders has been difficult from time immemorial.
You see, a virtuous populous won’t need politicians very much. And, to power-craving politicians (a redundancy), that is a serious conundrum. “If all men were angels, we wouldn’t need government,” James Madison said. So, it is in the supreme interest of politicians to make sure that all men are NOT angels and never get close, at least not on this earth. Being “wanted” and “needed,” which leads to having power over others, is a temptation that no politician can resist. Thus, they deliberately create and stir up as many “crises” and as much chaos as possible so that the government—they—can step in and provide the “solutions.” It makes them feel good about themselves; it makes them feel morally superior to others, that they are “doing” something. It feeds their monumental egos. And what they usually end up doing is making things worse. It takes a person of extremely weak moral character to act like that. Politicians are weak, which is why they rarely do the right thing.
