The foundation of our government and the trust placed in it relies more on on honesty, morality and respect for the constitution and law than anything else.
At its heart, it is an honor system - just like the voting system.
For eight long years Barack Obama and the democrats demonstrated that our laws can be broken and the constitution ignored without repercussions.
Basically Obama said "We can do whatever we want, regardless of rules and laws."
Even the republicans let him get away with it with nary a whimper.
He opened the gates and emboldened the left.
Today we see the results in the open disregard for the election, the laws and the constitution in the widespread and relentless attack against the president.
There never was leaking from the inner circle to the extent we see today.
People in government just don't care about right, wrong, oaths, honor or morality anymore.
They promise anything but do what they want.
That would include the republicans who promised to repeal Obamacare but then voted against the repeal bills.
They help set the example for others that anything goes.
By example they say "You must be honest and honorable and obey the rules but we don't have to."
Well said and a great summary of how the political culture deteriorated with Obama and the Clintons. . They are emboldened. We have a lot to overcome. Education is the key. Fight on folks!
The success of our government relies on leaders who genuinely care about the country and will do what’s right for the people rather than themselves. That is no longer the case in 95% of them, so I fear we will never be able to “vote” our way back to prosperity.
