Eight years ago today, five right-wing SCOTUS justices decided to attack the very pillars of American democracy. Stop counting votes, they said, since counting votes hurt the chances of the manifestly unfit thug George W. Bush to become President. Worse, our legion of corporate media whores said we had to embrace the horrific decision and "Get over it."
Well, to be blunt, I NEVER did "GET OVER IT".
Since that miserable day in December 2000, this country has been damaged in ways that may be beyond repair:
-We are on the verge of another depression
-New Orleans was destroyed
-Detroit is near collapse
-The American economy is in shambles
-The military is stretched to the breaking point
And on and on...
This massive assault on the foundations of this once great country began eight years ago today. And I have not forgotten.
I just hope it is not too late...
