The nature of our politicians has become increasingly hard to understand. On one hand, the usual talk of patriotism, adhering to citizen's wishes, blah, blah, is there; on the other is, as Freud would say, the dark side. It has become increasing difficult to comprehend elected officials who knowingly accept violation of any law, but it occurs with frequency.
This is not meant to include those elected Congress officials who are arrested by the FBI, etc., for molesting Pages, cocaine running, etc., but rather the sublime acceptance, for example, of the Bush Administration molding any law to their devious wishes. What is about our nature that creates acceptance of unlawful spying on citizens, torture, illegal arrests and holding of minors under the Patriot Act?
More difficult to understand is how proclaimed Christians can describe themselves as such and accept torture. These miracles of mass confusion loudly protest Miss California "losing" due to her proclaiming the sanctity of heterosexual marriage, but remain oddly silent on Abu Ghraib, societal torture acceptance and overall corruption within the past administration. This is an indication of the anthropomorphizing of Christianity to the extent adherents are being driven away in masses thanks to the political schenangigans of Pat Robertson, Franklin Graham, James Dobson and the late Jerry Falwell. Their desire to force societal acceptance of Christianity as the dominant religion has resulted in Americans shying away from their autocratic utterances and prejudicial remarks. Oddly, they seem to forget much in the name of the dollar bill.
The USA is at the moral crossroads and must decide whether to continue hypocritical darkness or renewal with full morality.
