each new administration must unravel the failures of its predecessor. just as baby bush was saddled with clinton's haphazard attitude toward the defense of the country and his spendthrift ways, obama must deal with bush and company's ham handed attempts at protecting us from the very real threats of today's world and the general ignorance of our former president.

instead of realizing that we are redefining the term torture (putting an old name on a different technique) and abolishing it now so that we can move on in a more humane fashion, our current leaders are distracting us by making political hay over where the blame can be laid for these desperate attempts at hurrying an end to an unpopular conflict. yes, it is a distraction. while our economy falls further and further into the crapper and a corrupt and inefficient bureaucracy claims more and more control over our dwindling free market, what better sideshow than putting political enemies on trial to divert the attention of the masses.

the pendulum continues to swing and the next in line will have to cope with brak's inexperience and socialist leanings. it's a cycle we can't break unless the people are willing to look beyond their own petty desires and the useless rhetoric of partisan politics.

this isn't the first time the american people have been fooled. each election brings with it a new batch of liars and thieves. greedy to share in the wealth of the "american dream" and eager for some "change" they can believe in, the masses have chosen to betray the very ideals that afforded that wealth and allowed the freedom of change. they have proven themselves willing to sacrifice the individual for the illusory good of the many and have forgotten that it was the protection of the free will of the individual that given us the chance at the standard of living they all seem to be clambering to share in without putting in the effort needed to attain it.

our only chance to sift any truth from the mountain of lies we are inundated with is to watch the actions of our leaders and see if they match up with the promises they so easily gave us. this latest batch has yet to live up to their rhetoric. we will never know the details of their back room dealings, but we can easily see that their promises of honesty and transparency have come to naught. their vaunted transparency seems only to apply to the failings of their opposition and that honesty is belied by the hemming and hawing that accompanies each revelation of their false claims and their wholesale sellout of the american ideal.

GREAT POST!!!!

What do you think? Is anyone above the LAW?
