It seems as if ethics is a dying value. My wife works in retail sales, a job she took when we moved to our new home, and the one thing she has learned is that many people are not ethical. Her coworkers would steal her customers when her back was turned, or say she wasn't at work, when, in fact she was at the back of the store.
The Wikipedia definition is: "Ethics, also known as moral philosophy, is a branch of philosophy that addresses questions about morality--that is, concepts such as good and evil, right and wrong, virtue and vice, justice, etc."
While an obvious lack of ethics can be seen at my wife's place of business (by the way, she is very ethical and this may account for why she is one of the top salespeople in the entire area), it is also a problem in government; particularly in big government. Take for example the case of "Fast and Furious" whereby agencies of the US government allowed rifles to be purchased by 'straw purchasers' and then sold to Mexican drug cartels. These AK 47-variants were eventually lost in tracking. Is it ethical to use American taxpayer dollars to secretly fund an illegal program, and only get "outed" when someone died from one of the "Fast and Furious" guns? If you don't know the answer to that question, I know a retail store that would hire you on the spot.
So we have the head of the Department of Justice (DOJ), Eric Holder, who either lied about being in the loop of the "Fast and Furious" debacle whereas four people just below him were in on it, or is he so incompetent that he isn't even capable of running the DOJ and being included in the "loop"? And we have a president who claims to know nothing about this illegal undertaking and we'll likely never be privy to the truth in that case. But we do know for a fact that our POTUS is a liar because he has been caught in numerous lies since taking office.
Just for starters, he lied about his mother's healthcare, or lack of it actually, when she was dying of cancer in her early fifties. Obama claimed she died as a result of the lacking of medical funding, when, in fact, her healthcare provider paid for everything but the monthly deductible, which came to about $200. Then he lied when claiming his healthcare bill would not increase the deficit one dime--wait, that isn't a lie--it increased the deficit somewhat more than a dime--can you say billions?
About his father, he claimed he was a goat-herder, when it turns out his father was clearly a man of priviledge. And while we're on the topic of Obama's Muslim father, Obama claimed that he, himself, had never prayed in a mosque--this had to later be retracted by his campaign people.
Circumventing the Constitution with the claim that we aren't at war with Libya because there are no "boots on the ground" and therefore, he didn't need congressional approval for the non-war in Libya, is another lie. First of all, there were CIA spotters on the ground to assist the aircraft in their missions. But even more blatantly, to say our action in a country is not a hostile act, and thus does not qualify as a war, begs the question: and if we simply dropped a nuclear weapon on Libya with no boots on the ground, would that still not be considered a hostile action?
We may all remember how Obama said that he wouldn't rest until the BP oil spill was stopped and plugged. If you consider playing golf, entertaining the Duke Blue Devils after winning the NCAA Championship, greeting the US World Cup Soccer team and getting in some photo ops with Joe Biden, Bill "I did not have sex with that woman, Miss Lowenski" Clinton spending Memorial Day weekend in Chicago, and taking a weekend off at Mount Desert Island, not resting, then he was true to his word.
Obama is an amateur president. He was an amateur Senator before being whisked into the job as president. He was a community organizer--that's a dude who organizes anti-something-or-other protests for more money from those that have it to those that don't. This is Obama. Holder is his protege along with Tim Geithner, who didn't pay his taxes. Along with his other cronies and phonies. Make him a one-term wonder (as in "I wonder why anyone voted for that loser").
Peace out.
