The Erosion of America

This isn't a nation I recognize.

In a selfish pit of "me" - we've emerged into a society that makes it all about the profit. We've lost our humanity as a nation.

So - when I hear about our "patriots" that go to our town hall meetings only to incite discourse, it reminds me again at how pathetic we are as a nation when it comes to doing things that matter.

On a solitary issue alone - universal health care - I don't think I have to wonder how low we can go:

- We've got comparisons to Hitler
- We've got fear mongering
- We've got distortions of truth
- We've got outright lies

So it shouldn't come as a surprise that once again - the Republican party is leading a personal crusade on the issue of health care. When you combine the putrid nature of the health insurance lobby - with the Republican shills -- well, we have an entire different level of immorality.

That's why it's painful to watch the erosion of America.

The really sad part is: America was ready for change.

But what completely boggles the mind is how the uneducated, uninformed and those that insist on perpetuating the boldface lies and distortions - insist on seeing through to Rush Limbaugh's promise that he hopes that Obama fails.

When you have such acid in your bloodstream, it's beyond comprehension exactly what your feeble view of the United States should be. Perhaps if this collective of mindless twits had the audacity to have an honest discussion about their contribution to the erosion of America - then maybe they could stop for a second and realize that what they are doing is hurting our country.

That's never going to happen though.

Not when the likes of Limbaugh, Beck, Dobbs and every other hateful soul out there believes that politics is above everything. When you have that kind of soulless mentality working on your behalf -- who needs terrorists?
