Very good article! Not sure that there is a way out for anyone under 30 or so. Politics has indeed become a game between like minded individuals and parties. It makes little difference who you vote for. Your crook or mine...
Is this the end of the Republican form of government? Seems so unless there is something of a revolution among the young. You would think that they would be the initial group to revolt since they are going to be responsible for all the debt incurred from the last generation or two.
What young? We killed off millions of them. The ones pouring in from around the world are products of a century of Marxism or worse, products of a barbaric religio-political system.
If we do have a revolution it will be with a sad heart that we are the ones to blame for the challenge we now face. Eternal vigilance is a lovely motto, but a hard life. I'm afraid we sat back and gave our children over to hirelings while we pursued "meaning" or some other lamentable cheat.
