The Chief and Oerets pitching this nonsense about how the great independent middle of this country will come together and correct everything, is utter nonsense.
There is no great independent middle...there hasn't been one since Vietnam. American conservatives have been attacking it since Vietnam with their "love it or leave" bullshit, and with the election of Barack Obama, they have succeeded in killing it. Poor disenfranchised white supremacist christian Americans who have had complete power and control over the politics and economy of this country since the founding and squandered it with their entitlement and arrogance. And now they want their country back...using any and every dirty and evil thing they can dig up. And were being told that its just the "extremists on both sides." FEH! Which is yiddish for...FEH!
So I guess as much as I'm in agreement with barbara and DonQ...when it comes down to it...it's on the people. Sometimes, in my frustration and dismay, I find myself agreeing with anti-enlightenment philosopher Joseph de Maistre, who said...
"Every country has the government it deserves."
