What got us here? How did we reach such a low point as to have an utterly ruthless, partisan government that governs irresponsibly, corruptly, ineptly, and has wrangled a situation where they can do so without oversight and apparently without penalty? How can it be that the legitimate media is so docile in speaking out about this rotten state of affairs, and an alternative media consisting largely of masters of sarcasm and contempt can hold the ears of so many people? We grew up thinking that the American system was foolproof, and would self correct when it became skewed as it is today. But one begins to wonder. The most frightening thing about this Administration is not its ineptness and its concerted attempt to reshape the entire system. The most frightening thing is their success at eroding the very system of checks and balances that should keep our governmental system running. It is not likely that the Bush Administration can create the kind of government they want us to have – their ideas are just too self serving to last. But it is possible that they can destroy the system we do have beyond recovery.
We don’t like to ponder such things – but this group of people have been able to sow such a divisive thread into our culture that they may have polarized us into camps that have actually lost whatever it takes to pull together and demand integrity from our system, independent of our partisan opinions. It’s actually a dark time in America – another Civil War. Even more than our disasterous war in Iraq, this Attorney Scandal is the crisis that may make or break us. Without a viable and functioning system of justice, all else is lost…
Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, and the rest of the founding fathers were very bright and designed a system which has take over 200 years to destroy. After all these years and many attempts, the current group in charge seems to have finally found a way.
