Political Holograms
The truth is a hologram:
In order to see the complete picture, you must carefully observe it from
the right, the left, the center, and several other perspectives. Viewing it
from one angle deny you a complete understanding of the other elements that are
only shown in the other perspectives. I thought about holograms and the
importance of observing them from several angles during the presidential
election. Tax cuts, spending cuts, cuts
to entitlements, jobs, military spending, education, health care, insurance
coverage, social security, and
immigration are political holograms that were discussed in the years and
months leading up to the November 6, 2012 election. None of these topics,
however, received the thorough, deliberate, and careful viewing these important
holograms deserve. Tax cuts, which has been the single most dominant economic
topic since 1981,was totally ignored by the presidential candidates, the
senatorial candidates, the media, and virtually everyone else running for
office – except republicans in conservative districts and republicans in recently
(and favorably) redrawn districts, which assured them seats in congress.
My goal in the upcoming days is
to write/share in this blog the observations I made as I carefully observed
each hologram from several perspectives.

President Obama won the presidential election, which
clearly demonstrates – “The Lord works in mysterious ways!”
