Reply #20: what is really lacking is a willingness to make a moral judgment [View All]

[theobscure]

Instead of arguing over the legal technicalities, political ramifications, or social consequences, people should be asking themselves if we really want a president who engages in this kind of behavior. We sit back and wait for this President, or any number of other political officials who have betrayed the public trust or acted immorally, to have his hand caught in the legal cookie jar. Or, we wait for other public officials to slap him on the wrist.

If we are truly offended by the immoral behavior of our elected officials, we should use the power of the people to call them to task. This is exactly what the people of Thailand did just recently. They seem to have a better handle on what democracy means than we do.
