Why Nobody Takes Politicians Seriously Anymore – All they do is Pander.

The recent outcry regarding White House Spokesman Sean Spicer’s reference to Adolph Hitler is exactly and precisely what is wrong with American politics. There is a complete lack of civility, an even greater lack of intellectual consistency and virtually zero common sense in the things these people say. Our political leaders are so comfortable switching sides of philosophical arguments, whenever convenience moves them, we can only hope they remain in the legislative branch as the concept of judicial, much less their own precedent, is entirely foreign to them.

Spicer was referencing the use of chemical weapons by Syria’s leader Bashar Assad on his own people and commented that the use of such, was something even one of the most recognized tyrant’s in the history of the world had not done. Anyone with any sense of history would understand that Spicer was condemning both men in the context of his comments. Further, the same would also note that following WWI, most modern nations agreed to the Geneva Convention, governing wartime acts and treatment of POW’s.
