The Blame Game...

A critique of:  "A return of the Bush policies? Yes, please."

This article gives a brief synopsis of some of the many things that the Democratic Party personnel like to claim/blame is a result of President Bush's time in office.  I think this type of "not my fault" mentality is one of the core problems with our steadily declining society.  The Texas Rainmaker clearly points out that what some politicians say should be taken with a grain of salt or completely ignored.  The sad truth is that many people hear things like "... is all Bush's fault" and pursue the cause fervently with out a second thought, like chickens, spook one and they all run.  Hopefully some day this general (and ignorant) mentality will fade, people will start using the gray matter between their ears, and start taking responsibility for their thoughts, actions, and opinions. 

It is easy, take a simple example: I speed all over town during my busy day driving here and there.  When I get pulled over by a police officer, I don't blame him/her for writing me a ticket, the guy ahead of me going just as fast, or even my wife who is "in labor and needing a ride".  I just say "ya, I was driving a little faster than I should" and take responsibility for my actions, if your gonna do the crime, don't cry about the time.  And believe it or not, more often you will get a warning for being refreshingly honest, at least that is how it plays out for me.

I agree with the author and I think it is great that he can take an example of the blame game, see threw the muck, and turn it into a positive.  This article is written in a conservative blog but is a worth while read for any affiliation.  It would be refreshing if "news media" would critique more of the political whitewash with factual breakdowns instead of interviews with "political insiders" that just throw a different color on the same old paint.  When reading a blog or article that states information in a factual or statistical manner we assume that it is presented accurately, and with that in mind, I think this is a credible argument.  On a different note, top article on the Texas Rainmaker is a fine example of how stupid some politicians are... and I bet she blames the Conservatives for her actions some how.
