On Christmas Day the Houston Chronicle had a small article on page 3 about the new Hawaiian governor’s hopes to "finally quell ‘birther’ doubts". It’s a sad statement on our society that this is even a subject for discussion more than two years after it reared its ugly head. But it reveals the underbelly of political discourse in our nation today. It says a lot about the acceptance of the politics of destruction. It is not a new phenomenon but it seems to have reached new heights in its breadth and width. It even has its own media network with ample financial backing and organizations who know they will profit from, and/or gain power from the "defeat the enemy at any cost" philosophy that they adopt.
