Gabby Giffords<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

A couple of things happened in a span of 24 to 48 hours\u2026Navy Seals went in to Somalia and successfully rescued two hostages and Gabby Giffords resigned from Congress to concentrate on rehabilitation after being shot in the head over a year ago.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s so great about these two events other than the obvious?<\/p>\n

To me, these two events show us how amazing people can be, they show how awesome life can be, and the true meaning of the human spirit\u2026but you know what else they show?<\/p>\n

Those two moments show us exactly how weak and infantile our politicians are.<\/p>\n

How does Washington find the balls to bicker and point fingers when Navy Seals are risking their lives to rescue two people they do not know? How is it that our politicians gather up the courage to be so greedy and non-compromising when someone like Gabby Giffords has shown us how fragile life is?<\/p>\n

There are a million examples we can use here to show how absolutely disgusting it is that our political leaders choose greed over giving, name calling over problem solving, and selfishness over selflessness.
\nWhen I was a kid, politicians were still people to look up to. Now\u2026I am utterly disappointed in the behavior of our elected officials.<\/p>\n

To the politicians\u2026your greed, your dishonesty, and your unwillingness to compromise is beyond disgusting. There are people giving their lives in order for you to sit on your golden soapboxes, I would expect you to behave with more humility, more honesty, and more integrity.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s hold people accountable.<\/p>\n
