Today our leaders have no ethical grounding. If there are no witnesses, no one can prove who chopped down the cherry tree, why make life difficult? Plausible deniability, a well-crafted excuse and a good lawyer help one move beyond the occasional indiscretion. The word “truth” is passé, a quaint notion in which the proletariat finds comfort. “Truth” does not carry the nuance or flexibility one must use to speak ideology to power. The postmodern nihilism Harvard instills in our elites keeps them ethically limber. If there are no moral absolutes then one cannot suffer pangs of guilt when they are broken, let alone worry about such trivial things as squandering the legacy of a once great nation. If you can lie well and distract and confuse your constituency, you can get away with all sorts of shenanigans, the peasants have short memories anyway.
The massive healthcare “reform” bill passed on Saturday is not about the uninsured. It is not about compassion for the disadvantaged or the sick. It is about the control and domination of our economy from banking to healthcare to the media. It is about cementing their ideology right into the fabric of our national government and building monolithic bureaucracies that we can never dismantle. Like the criminal enterprises of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, they will siphon off our tax dollars in the billions to perpetuate their power and reward their allies. Freddie Mac just lost an additional 6.3 billion dollars in the third quarter, after all the guarantees and an infusion of 50 billion in taxpayer money. Can anyone claim surprise? It is what is happening throughout our nation. It is fraud and theft, and by every definition criminal and the criminals now run our government.

The whole government should be brought to a halt immediately. Lock them out of the House and the Senate. Stop all spending, printing of money and borrowing until this country gets back to following our Constitution. If this were to happen, things would get fixed pretty dam fast.
Our leftist, NeoCommie Democrats, and liberal Republicans see the Constitution as something to be worked around, sneered at and ignored. It is nothing more than an inconvenience.
Well said!
“If there are no moral absolutes then one cannot suffer pangs of guilt when they are broken...”
THAT is the reason more than any other why people are atheists. They may regard the notion of a God as silly, but the implications if there really was one would be horrifying. So, they try to sweep God under the carpet.
But otherwise it is dumb as a dog turd...The former Republic having been long-since at ground temperature!
