Is it too late?
I posted this question a year and a half ago. So much has happened since then that is incomprehensible. I don't know how we can ever come back.
We have a president, a democratic president, that actually said out loud, publicly, "we tortured some folks." We tortured some folks. This came from the mouth of the man that gave hope to millions of us 6 years ago. The leader of the free world, the President of the United States of America said, "we tortured some folks." As William Pitt said, "In my name. In your name. In our name."Never again, in my name.
We are fighting, yet again, to not have the country shut down but that's the preferable choice to passing a bill that will allow the criminal bankers that ruined the world economy, do it all over again. A bill that will cause elections to be completely useless.
We have a National Defense bill that includes a little provision to take sacred, Native American land and hand it over to a mining company that will desecrate and plunder the land for profit.
We have black men and boys hunted down in the streets, murdered by cops. The cops are not just not charged, they're hailed as heroes. We have public officials complaining about protests instead of representing their constituents.
This was my post July 2013. Nothing in it has changed for the better. http://www.democraticunderground.com/10023282476
I see no light at the end of the tunnel.
