Politicians not playing fair

I went to this website targeting christians that discusses the alleged anti-christian behavior of the current professing christian president George Bush. While some of the stuff I knew beforehand, there wasn't much to get very riled up about, even if you are a follower of Jesus. Don't get me wrong, it puts the President's faith in Jesus into question but it just didn't come as a surprise to me.

Something on the website did bother me though, although it had nothing to do with the intended purpose of the website itself. It was about a Msnbc article in which the President was being asked about different political issues. A question brought up was about the President's involvement with a secret society at Yale known as Skull and Bones. Before this article, I didn't know that both George Bush and John Kerry are members of this stupid club.

Does this bother anyone else? I guess I just an a little bit concerned that this Skull and Bones is a mite too powerful. Albeit this may be just in my imagination. But there are questions about this secret club. What kind of society is this? What is the influence in American society like? Are they doing illegal stuff? Is there any truth to the wacky conspiracy theories? I'm not willing to go as far as they are and write a book about it based on suspision and hearsay. That probably plays right into the hands of the 'Bonesmen' (members of Skull and Bones). They must love it.

Still there is a problem with a public figure having such a secret, don't you think? Of course people in public life need to have some privacy and everything doesn't need to be known by every Tom, Dick and Harriet in USA. (Are there people named Harriet anymore? Probably not) But shouldn't there be some kind of transparency when it comes to politics. Perhaps I'm asking too much of politicians; to be honest.

And the politicians are asking too much of us as well. We're being asked by these candidates running for Presidential office to trust them with the most important things a nation can posses and the power of the strongest nation of the world. There should some honesty here. Don't keep secrets that can give the impression that I can't trust you to protect the liberty and freedom of the United States or use it's power wisely for the good of it's citizens. The X-files type dudes are going crazy with the connection theories as a result. Now who has more credibility? Jeez, all the drama is enough to make you not want to vote at all, or maybe just vote for Nader. OK, maybe I got a little carried away there...
