10 May 2013 Reason to believe









Cassi Creek:  I’m like far too many Americans today.  I am fed up with the partisan posturing and obstructionist policies that render our government unable to fulfill its functions.  I’m furious at the GOP and its associated base and propaganda mill, composed of ideologues who would rather destroy the nation’s economy than return to common sense politics that demand compromise on the part of both major parties. 
          I’m tired of right wing talk radio and television, working in concert with religious fundamentalists and arms merchants to destroy the former middle class and to eliminate social safety nets. 
          The opening verse of Tim Hardin’s song goes well with John King’s op-ed piece on CNN. 

A Reason to Believe
by Tim Hardin

If I listened long enough to you
I'd find a way to believe that it's all true
Knowing that you lied straight faced while I cried
Still I look to find a reason to believe


Someone like you makes it hard to live 
Without somebody else
Someone like you makes it easy to give 
Never thinking of myself

If I gave you time to change my mind
I'd find a way to leave the past behind
Knowing that you lied straight faced while I cried
Still I look to find a reason to believe

 Unlike Hardin, I no longer find a reason to believe.
Someone like you makes it hard to live 
Without somebody else
Someone like you makes it easy to give 
Never thinking of myself

If I gave you time to change my mind
I'd find a way to leave the past behind
Knowing that you lied straight faced while I cried
Still I look to find a reason to believe
Still I look to find a reason to believe
Still I look to find a reason to believe
