how have we, as a country -
turned those who are in power into unquestionable experts...who live above the law...
how have we, as a country -
allowed those who work for us (and were elected by us) as public servants turned us into their servants...and expect our blind allegiance....
how have we, as a country -
allowed the creation of a political elite that rules with enmity towards the people who elected them...while prevaricating to us with every word from their mouth....
how have we, as a country -
become so blinded to truth that we settle for agenda driven news clips while thriving upon entertainment and self-focused social media…
how have we, as a country -
traded good for evil and justify our fallen condition as tolerance and progressiveness...
Paul Craig Roberts: The Eroding Character Of The American People
The question is: why do Americans not only sit silently while the lives of innocents are destroyed, but also actually support the destruction of the lives of innocents? Why do Americans believe "official sources" despite the proven fact that “official sources” lie repeatedly and never tell the truth? The only conclusion that one can come to is that the American people have failed. We have failed Justice. We have failed Mercy. We have failed the US Constitution. We have failed Truth. We have failed Democracy and representative government. We have failed ourselves and humanity. We have failed the confidence that our Founding Fathers put in us. If we ever had the character that we are told we had, we have obviously lost it. Little, if anything, remains of the "American character."
