I’m thinking about trust a lot today. I need your trust or you’ll stop listening to my radio shows. If I claim something is true I should offer you proof of why I believe it. When I’m wrong, I admit it. Government from the top to the bottom is earning our distrust these days with a series of lies and obfuscation. In Salem, the legislature approves tens of millions in public dollars for a private hotel and won’t let the public vote on it. They also passed a gun law infringing on citizen rights, and won’t allow a vote. In Eugene, secret emails show the 4 J school board having secret meetings, hiding documents, and privately conspiring to destroy public documents. We’re only months past the resignation of a Governor who lied to the public about conspiring to help his girlfriend get hundreds of thousands of dollars in consulting contracts. Charlie Hales lied about what state he lived in to run for office, his predecessor lied about chasing a teenage boy into bed. The Multnomah County Chair lied about drug use and spending public money so he could have sex with a subordinate. In Baltimore, local officials face riots and violence and destruction of their town and then tell the public the police report on Freddie Gray’s death will be kept secret. The Mayor of that city told citizens on video she would give the mob “room to destroy” parts of the city and then flatly denied saying the words we could all see on that video. There’s good evidence she told the police to stand down the night of the first riot and now she denies that. Why would anyone in their right mind believe these guys. We’ve now learned that the Congress, faced with the prospect two years ago of having to submit themselves to the Obamacare system they forced on the rest of us, conspired to label the congress a “small business” so that representatives and staff could qualify for hundreds of millions of dollars in subsidy from YOUR tax dollars to pay for their health care. The candidate most likely to get the democrat party nomination for President announced she’s running but spent the last two weeks dodging reporters. She admits destroying emails that were public records by law, running an illegal secret email system, and refusing to answer questions about her complicity in the deaths of Americans in Benghazi two and a half years ago. Hillary fronts an international foundation that has taken in a billion dollars, much of it secret donations from foreign donors and in violation of an agreement she signed to become secretary of state. President Obama…where do I start with the secrets: IRS, NSA, VA, Fast n Furious…Bowe Bergdahl and where the heck was he the night Benghazi died. Too many to count after six and a half long years. And don’t get me started on how this man with the most powerful intelligence gathering system at his disposal who claims over and over that the first time he knows anything is when he sees it on the news. Thank goodness he’s mentioned in the media daily or he wouldn’t know his own name. Come to think of it, what is his name anyway? Barry Obama, Barry Sotero, Barack Hussein Obama? To paraphrase his would be successor, at this point, what difference does it make. and why would anyone in his right mind believe any of these clowns.
