Many of us have heard and or read the story of Judas in the Bible. I think that story is so relevant today. Judas betrayed Jesus for thirty pieces of silver, and his resentment stemmed from Jesus not being the warlord leader who was going to defeat Rome.

Compare this to where we are with our political leadership all across the world, with a few exceptions. The leaders are very wealthy since obtaining political office. The money is coming from corporations, individuals, and governments that put themselves, their profit, and their power interests first. These so-called leaders who get this money and power over us are supposed to be representing us, the people who pay mandatory taxes.

Judas was called a traitor, and I think that moniker fits all too many of our politicians. They are traitors and nothing more; they should be called out for what they are. Once we learn to see past the false choice of political parties, our eyes will be opened to this. The only difference between our two political parties is the different sources of their illicit monetary funding. To blindly support one or the other is not being a well-informed citizen or voter. I confess to being guilty of this at times.

When we see our politicians supporting or enabling foreign wars, criminality, corruption, reckless spending, and subverting our God given freedoms, it should be evident that they are traitors to their countries and citizens. Do not let the divide and conquer us anymore; they are not worthy of our respect for their opinions and actions.
