Dumbrenter: Wow. Great post and you nailed it. It’s also cool that you can maintain your optimism, and that’s not said sarcastically. In a conversation with an Army buddy, he said it’s the first time in his life that he’s actually worried about the potential future of the US.
I’ll admit that the last 10+ years have been rough, especially when one considers how much our essential rights and liberties have eroded.
And, no, I don’t blame Obama. He’s a symptom of the overall disease. As Lord Acton put it, “Power corrupts; absolute power tends to corrupt absolutely.”
I do hope your optimism is well founded and that we find our way back. It appears finally the press has awakened and is beginning to do their job. What did Brandeis say about sunlight being the best disinfectant?
