"Don't be a hypocrite."  

Pop used to say that to me when I was a tyke. 

I was taught that  "leadership by example" took real guts because the leader has to do what he's asking others to do.  Until a person demonstrated by their own actions that they stood for something there was no basis upon which one should bother listening to their words on the issue. 

Today, for the most part, America is "led" by hypocrites.  There are a few - Ron Paul for example - that lead by example - but the rest - the TV propagandists, the radio propagandists, the newspaper propagandists - all talk tough - that is - because they don't intend to participate in the actions they support.

The politicians - not statesmen - politicians - big on "gun control" for you - but also big on gun rights for themselves.  Chuck "Gun Grabber" Schumer comes to mind - and Diane Feinstein: (LINK)

"Not only does Schumer carry a handgun, the New York City Police Department also provides armed escorts for the good senator. In fact, the Government Accounting Office -- the investigative arm of the US Congress -- slammed Schumer's use of police resources for personal protection. It's clear that Schumer believes he's special. He wishes to ban private citizens' ownership of firearms, while he enjoys layers of protection.

"No wonder Chuckie Schumer shoots his mouth off so much -- he's able to protect himself," says a 25-year police veteran.


Also, a check of Pistol License records shows that Senator Schumer possesses an "unrestricted" pistol permit, a rarity in New York City. Licenses are distributed in different categories in the Big Apple: Target Permits allow only use of a firearm at a licensed firing range; Premises Permits allow weapons to be kept in a home or apartment; Restricted Permits allow the gunowner to carry their firearms concealed but only within the purview of their job (security, jewelers, armored car guards, etc.). So it's evident that Senator Schumer has two sets of rules -- one for Americans and one for himself.




And then we have Senator Diane Feinstein on the Left Coast who possesses something more rare than a conservative Republican in San Francisco -- an unrestricted concealed weapons permit. Apparently without shame, she participated in a citywide gun turn-in program that was intended to create some kind of statue from the donated guns that were to be melted down. One of her police body guards let it slip that she contributed a cheap model for the meltdown, while retaining her .357 magnum revolver for her own personal self-defense.

Senator Barbara Boxer, seen here vilifying semi-automatic rifles with Dianne Feinstein, has a permit to carry.

Hypocrisy is not limited to politicians when it comes to the Second Amendment. For Example, well-known Washington-based columnist, Carl Rowan, often wrote about the ills of firearms ownership. Until, that is, he shot and wounded a teenager who trespassed on his property. The white teenaged boy claimed he wanted to try Rowan's swimming pool. Rowan, an African-American, retaliated with deadly force using a firearm. That's when the news came out that Carl Rowan, gun-control advocate, actually possessed a license to own firearms.


Another example is the loudmouth entertainer, Rosie O'Donnell, who once ran roughshod over conservative actor Tom Selleck because of his stance supporting the Second Amendment. Although Ms. O'Donnell doesn't carry a gun, she has three armed bodyguards who protect her, her wife and her children, something the vast majority of hardworking Americans could never afford. Isn't it comforting to know all these Liberals are looking out for us?"




The examples go on - so many to list - where to begin or end?  The saying used to be:  "America - love it or leave it."  Times have changed - it doesn't matter if you want to leave - you will have to buy your way out - just like the corporate prisons - now the entire country will become one gigantic prison. 





Here's a recent one where Barbara Boxer wants to revoke your passport if you owe taxes:LINK


"Section 40304 of the legislation states that any individual who owes more than $50,000 to the Internal Revenue Service may be subject to “action with respect to denial, revocation, or limitation of a passport”."


What if the person needs to leave the United States for employment in China to pay their taxes?   Oh they'll make a provision for squeezing the public for more war money - but - let's get back to the hypocrisy.


While Americans will be incarcerated in the very bankrupt country that cannot pay its own bills (hypocrisy) yet another government spendthrift idea:LINK


"(NaturalNews) Though the Constitution'sFourteenth Amendmentcalls for equal protection under the laws, not everyone in the United States is, well, consideredequal. Some, it seems, are consideredmore than equal.

In Los Angeles, for example,police will begin ignoring a California state lawthat requires authorities to impound the vehicles of unlicensed drivers for 30 days. Why? Because so many illegal aliens don't have driver licenses and the politically correct powers that be in L.A. feel that's unfair to these new "sovereign citizens" who are now above the law.

...

But there are other indications illegal aliens are the new sovereign citizens. One-time Republican presidential contender and current governor of Texas, Rick Perry, has sanctioned illegal immigration in his state by allowing them to pay in-state tuition at colleges, while citizens from other states are required to pay more.

Sovereign citizens should pay less too

Back in California but on the same college theme,Gov. Jerry Brown signed a measure into law in Octoberthat requires taxpayers to provide state financial aid to these sovereign citizens so they can attend public colleges.

Known as theCalifornia Dream Act, the measure - which will take effect in 2013 - is likely to cost the state $13 million or more annually, money it doesn't have as lawmakers and the governor stare at a budget deficit in the tens of billions of dollars."

Hypocrisy is the rule - not the exception in American politics.  People are used to it.  So used to it that they marvel at why anyone in their right mind would take such decisions.  Decisions that are destroying our nation.  Unless that's the whole idea.

It is difficult for the average person to come to grips with the concept, even the possibility, that such well-spoken, well-dressed, often wealthy, leaders entrusted with our future as a nation - would be such hypocrites.  Some will never be able to grasp the extend of the deceit.  Many are waking up.  

Our banking industry is regulated by their own operatives.  Our right to bear arms is being undermined by operatives of the "disarm America" crowd embedded in our Federal government.  Our medical industry is at the service of the pharmaceutical companies.  Our food industry is controlled by poison manufacturers. 

weisbord six-box model (see link below)  looks for organizational hypocrisy

Hypocrisy - when spotted shows a "disconnect" - as Weisbord would say - between the "overt" and "covert" operation of a facet of an organization.  When the "overt" and "covert" are not in agreement - it is a sure sign of disfunctionality.

Look for hypocrisy - then look a little deeper for the disfunction - then ask yourself if it is by accident or design?

Once is happenstance, twice is coincidence, three times is enemy action.  

There ARE such things as domestic enemies - that's why many take an oath against all enemies foreign AND DOMESTIC.
