The Hippocratic oath is named after the ancient Greek physician Hippocrates.
Its respected code of principles dictates the obligatory ethical behavior of those practicing the medical arts.
And there is another oath governing those elected to political office.
It is the Hypocritical Oath. This is disconcerting. It is incensing. And it is inexcusable.
But it is casually accepted and cunningly justified.
It is the old ‘bait and switch’ con on the political level—the citizen is told the POL will do one thing only to see the exact opposite is being practiced once the POL is safely ensconced within the beltway!
The term “hypocrite” is never commendable.
Etymologically it refers to one who is playing a part. In the theatrical use it describes one who would change personalities by removing one mask and putting on another.
Thus the “hypocrite” is wearing a mask that convincingly presents himself one way but will quickly change masks to be a totally different character and is equally convincing in the opposite role.
Our term communicates that one is ‘acting on the stage; pretense; playing a part, pretending.’
From Century Dictionary:
A hypocrite, one who tries to make himself appear to be what he is not, especially to seem better than he is.
An interesting observation regarding political hypocrisy, it is:
[T]he conscious use of a mask to fool the public and gain political benefit”.
In any given year political hypocrisy is rampant. In an election year political hypocrisy is “pandemic.” It does not matter if one is red or blue or purple. There are myriads of examples where the POLS don a mask and play the part.
Then the POL adroitly changes the mask and does the opposite of what was promised. How often have politicians promised:
– Justice for the J6ers who have suffered greatly because of the Marxist Gulag officers but that promise is NEVER realized,
– A full and transparent release of documents and videos that expose the corrupt criminality of POLS,
– They clamor for strict justice for a Cabinet member’s refusal to honor a Congressional constitutional request and is held in contempt while not doing a thing, but then give limp lip-service when Patriots are jailed for a fabricated ‘contempt’ that is Constitutionally guarded, and
– A justified impeachment for criminals but all the talk vanishes as others continue to unleash a flood of impeachment on those devoted to the literalist Constitutional boundaries.
The list is nauseatingly long as the POLs embrace their “Hypocritical Oath.” And the silence is deafening!
The POL is sworn into office with this oath:
I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter: So help me God.
But it is all “smoke and mirrors” as the POL’s “hypocritical oath” is quickly embraced and supersedes the Constitutional oath.
Even though Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) has sworn to uphold the Constitution, his two-faced politics is exposed by this amazing comment:
[Requiring that only American citizens vote] is designed to jam people up and prevent Americans from voting.
WTF does that mean?
And…the American electorate seems quite content for the POLS to be two-faced and speak out of both sides of their mouths with a forked tongue!
The hypocritical oath of political leaders is historically validated by a prophet speaking to national leaders:
Oh, sinful nation, people weighed down with guilt, evildoers, who act corruptly! They have abandoned the Lord…The entire head is sick and the entire heart is faint. From the sole of the foot even to the head. There is nothing healthy in it…Your cities are burned with fire; aliens are devouring your land in front of you; it is desolation, as overthrown by aliens. –Isaiah 1:4-7.
The Boston Globe presents a good illustration of how the hypocrisy of POLS has devolved to a new low. This propaganda tool has accused President Trump—and any Constitutional literalist—of actions that the communist/globalist tyrants have perfected. Here are the bullet points of their sleight-of-hand journalism.
Trump will:
– threaten the rule of law,
– politicize the Department of Justice,
– erode abortion rights,
– abandon America’s traditional role as leader of the Western world and perhaps exit NATO altogether,
– impose Draconian remedies as part of his border crackdown,
– end any US effort to battle climate change,
– spike inflation with a broad tariff regime, and
– promise to prosecute his political enemies.
Not all are true, however, We the People hope and pray a few of them are, including the last one. Retribution will prove to be the best medicine for lasting deterrence.
Finally, the Hypocritical Oath has compromised the Oath of allegiance to the Constitution. And that compromise portends tragedy to the nation.
