One of the things I have always thought would be the first step to reversing this trend is to enact term limits. Politicians get bought by special interests and succumb to the power they can wield as elected officials. Term limits might help us elect more statesmen.
The argument to that is now in this society where you can get a fast-food meal in minutes, I am sure politicians can be bought much more quickly than before. Where it used to take years for special interests and greed to corrupt, I am sure this now happens as fast as one can get a Big Mac.
All politicians are bought and paid for. They should come gift-wrapped. Hmmm... Maybe Registered can do a graphic of some of our favorites decked out in different wrappings and bows like you would see at the gift-wrapping department of major stores.
It is truly disgusting that the Constitution and national security seem to be the least of their worries.
But I believe it is turning and pray that the turning will continue and accelerate. Our enemies don't realize it yet, but if they keep up the attacks, the terror, etc. they will hasten it.
I pray and hope we can do it ourselves without more of that, but I believe these enemies will keep on coming anyway ... just like the fanatical Kamikazis of WW II my Dad told me about.
