I wonder this daily, how has American politics degenerated so badly that we are sitting here today, on the eve of the 5th Anniversary of the worst terrorist attacks on our nation ever, with the worst pResident ever, an evil, snarling, friend-shooting Vice pResident, a corrupt, self-soiling legislative body, and a bought and paid-for corrupt ass judiciary, waiting for one of our television networks to lay the blame for this enormous shitpile on the doorstep of our previous President, one of the most effective leaders our nation has ever seen?
How did we get to this place where the arguments became less and less about the issues that affect our people and more about the religious faith of those making the decisions?
How did we come to the place where science is no longer considered proper educational material?
How did we come to the place where an education means the ability to recite patriotic poems?
How did we come to a place where the electorate doesn't give a crap whether or not their elections are held freely and fairly, and that every vote is counted?
How did we come to the place where a simple-minded, barely able to communicate, draft-dodging,frat-boy moron is the preferred leader of the free world, as opposed to brilliant scholars, statesmen, and war heros?
How did we come to the place where talking about political issues is taboo, but thumping the bible is smiled upon?
How did we come to the place where our leaders can take our young sons (and now as it turns out old dads) across the ocean to invade a soveriegn nation with no provocation?
How did we come to a place where we can pay $3 a gallon for gasoline and when the lying bastards that sell us that gasoline claim it is all because of shortages and markets, yet they rake in $8 Billion in quarterly profits, we just say OK, and take it?
How did we get to the place where a president can blatantly ignore the constitution he was sworn to uphold and protect, and the American people just say that's fine by me?
How did we get to the place where people don't get so fucking mad they want to scream every single day when they see the news of more corruption, more intrusion, more lies?
I just wanna know.
How did this happen?
