Nice rant and very well done. “Liberty, Freedom and Justice” are such novel ideas. ;>)
Regrettably, I don’t share your faith that any of this is going to get turned around without a Second American Revolution.
I see 2010 as the last chance and it may turn things around, but if it doesn’t, 2012 will not likely be a bloodless election.
Of course, the way things have been going, We The People may not wait for the next election. As ugly as that sounds, we are being forced to the edge of a cliff.... I for one, refuse to be pushed into the abyss.
At any rate, this is going to be a most interesting and very trying year for all of us.
“Liberty, Freedom and Justice” must win out by whatever means necessary and at any cost. Failure is not an option.... regardless of what it takes to succeed.
So as I see it, pray and labor for the bloodless ballot to work, but be prepared to deal with the worst, as it may truly be just around the next bend in the road.
