"Citizen Ambassadorship, enhanced with social media technology and increased international trade possibilities, may be the only way to hold a crumbling world together, and restore de-civilization to peace and prosperity. The prospects for the New Millenium lie in the trembling hands of small businesses, entrepreneurs and idealists willing to take a tremendous risk for the benefit of all of Humanity." - DC
In the ritual of politics, the art of deceit (either through lying, omission or conflictory action) is, apparently a necessity. Politicians want to announce what they they believe their respective constituencies want to hear ("on the record"), but their actions tell much more about what they truly desire. I have discussed this type of two-faced conduct more than once in The Internationalist Page Blog, and with numerous other blogs which I author through the TNNWC Blogosphere.
An Illustrative case-in-point follows: An entire legislative body vociferously condemns a president's participation in a military incursion, claiming an "abuse of a certain 'War Powers Act' " -- even citing that the president's action is unlawful as well as distasteful.
Ironically, after condemning the president's action by an overwhelming majority, the same representitives of the populace agreed to continue funding the 'allegedly legal' activity. This would seem to be tacit support of a military action that this same hypocritical pack of self-righteous and pedantic prevaricators had just condemned in the most severe terms.

But the House stopped short of a total desertion of a war-time president by also rejecting a measure to limit financing to support the military operations.
