The realm of politics is marked by inconsistency and fluid principles. This reality can be witnessed in both major American political camps, where actions performed by one party are met with severe condemnation by the other, only to be tolerated or even supported when the roles are reversed. To cite a specific example, we have seen this paradox manifest in the differing responses towards former Presidents depending on their party affiliations. An action deemed contemptible when committed by Joe Schmo (R-XX) might readily be overlooked if carried out by Harold Snuffy (D-OO).

Principles, in contrast to such situational politics, should remain steadfast and non-negotiable. If an action is intrinsically wrong, it should always be condemned regardless of who performs it. However, due to the lack of adherence to these principles amongst politicians, many rightfully peg them as hypocrites.

Analyzing more closely into present real news revelations invites us into a disturbing perspective where our current President appears to be physically and mentally inadequate for his role – a case which begs for channelizing the 25th amendment like never before since its ratification in 1967. Still surprisingly though, this suggestion meets stringent opposition from Democrats despite arguably threatening national security owing to presidential incompetence.

This refusal contrasts starkly with their stance from years prior when they were known advocates of employing the 25th amendment – provided it was against President Trump. This propensity for invoking the 25th Amendment was rampant among them during his term despite now being strangely silent regarding concerns around President Biden’s failing health.

Such inconsistencies draw attention to an alarming trend where principles are sacrificed at the altar of partisan concerns. Critics like Newsbusters writer Bill D’Agostino point out that discussions surrounding politically biased diagnoses from mercenary psychiatrists or suggestions about presidential “unfitness” have seemingly disappeared from mainstream conversations on trusted news platforms.

The paradoxical silence has led many observers to seek alternative media outlets like Newsbusters and RedState, platforms that remain steadfast in their commitment to bringing concerning real news to light from a Christian worldview.

Addressing this trend of political inconvenience over moral principle isn’t straightforward. Politicians will continue being politicians with compromised integrity. Still, our best defense is conscientiousness – maintaining vigilance, questioning their actions relentlessly, and refusing to accept perceived hypocrisy without demanding justification.

Every public interaction offers the opportunity to hold these public servants accountable – be it town halls or any public appearance. Participating actively at such forums enables citizens to demand answers and exposes worrisome trends of domestic politics. Furthermore, support for alternative media platforms like RedState can help bring more credibility and trustworthiness into reporting practices.

As we navigate this labyrinth of political interest versus national security, one thing must remain clear – principles should never play second fiddle to politics; for the wellbeing of our nation depends on it. Supporting alternative media sources that weed out selective bias can help rekindle faith in receiving impartial real news guided by a Christian worldview.
