Who is politicizing the pandemic?

Who unifies and divides? In the time of necessary unity, some have deemed it an opportune time to spill their political poison all over the nations media. When money triumphs compassion then we have a major problem. I refuse to participate in this dichotomy of left and right. In the time of national crisis like September 11th or Hurricane Katrina Americans showed selfless assistance and love. In a time of crisis, the good, the bad and the ugly become very apparent.
In my commentary I point out who’s making this political. I was angry when I wrote this piece so if you are offended by profanity or fake racism then do not go to my Blog. I decided not to post on this forum because of rough language. Please be safe!

If the decision-making process isn't pretty, it's because the underlying issues aren't pretty. Denigrating politics is a step down the road to thinking that a wise benevolent strong man would do so much better.

The lesson of history is that strong men are neither wise nor benevolent
