"What Has America Become?"

[L.K.Eder]

Some time ago I wrote this:
The fact that most people doubt Hillary will be indicted proves that the rule of law is dead in America.

And answer to the title of this thread was provided today by FBI Director Comey.
Of course it wasn't any surprise.




But a most eloquent exposition of the current state of affairs in America was written by Ken Huber, of Tawas City, Michigan.

I hope you will judge the perspective, and read same with a tear in your eye for the late, great nation called America.



1. " ...if we lie to the Congress, it's a felony and if the Congress lies to us its just politics;
if we dislike a black person, we're racist and if a black person dislikes whites, its their 1st Amendment right; ...
....in public schools you can teach that homosexuality is OK, but you better not use the word God in the process; you can kill an unborn child, but it is wrong to execute a mass murderer;

2. ....we got rid of communist and socialist threats by renaming them progressive; we are unable to close our border with Mexico, but have no problem protecting the 38th parallel in Korea; if you protest against President Obama's policies you're a terrorist, but if you burned an American flag or George Bush in effigy it was your 1st Amendment right.


3. You can have pornography on TV or the internet, but you better not put a nativity scene in a public park during Christmas; ...we can use a human fetus for medical research, but it is wrong to use an animal.


4. We take money from those who work hard for it and give it to those who don't want to work; ....we still have freedom of speech, but only if we are being politically correct; parenting has been replaced with Ritalin and video games; the land of opportunity is now the land of hand outs; .....

5. And how do we handle a major crisis today? The government appoints a committee to determine who's at fault, then threatens them, passes a law, raises our taxes; tells us the problem is solved so they can get back to their reelection campaign.

What has America become???"

A curtsy to Mr. Huber.

People have said the govt would naturally get corrupted once the representatives know they can vote themselves raises.

Today if you look at what is being monopolized, these are OUTSIDE Constitutional standards:
* the legal professional associations and bars producing judges and lawyers who feed each other's campaigns, where lawyers have unequalled influence and positions in over 80% of govt. Lawyers are not required to respect equal protection of the laws, but only for their clients, creating unequal protection due to unequal legal defenses and influence, ESPECIALLY in lawsuits where GOVT is a party, and the GOVT defense is paid for by the very taxpayers defending themselves against GOVT abuses, but without equal resources or defenses paid for.

* With our party system, the abuses are from voters and politicians using the system to force "other people" to pay for their agenda. Unlike organized religions that govt can be checked against endorsing, party platforms and beliefs are "fair game" to impose on the public even if those beliefs are in conflict, because political beliefs are not recognized or treated equally as religious beliefs and kept out of govt.

* With our corporate politics, it's the abuse of corporate interests to BYPASS check on govt, where corporations claim BOTH the individual rights of citizens, free of Constitutional limits and due process that only apply to govt, AND the collective influence and resources similar to govt authority (except without the checks and balances that are only on govt and not on corporate entities).

^ This is especially troublesome when it comes to MEDIA. Since by the First Amendment, the press cannot be regulated by govt, this has become abused where CORPORATIZED media is not on the same level as INDIVIDUAL free speech and press.

If people spread misinformation about party policies and candidates, there are no "direct Constitutional checks" on parties or media sources. You would have to sue and win, and by then the damage is already done in terms of elections and votes on legislation.

These are some areas that are ALLOWING the above listed problems to go unaddressed and unchecked.

As long as we allow unchecked monopolizing and abuse of
* the legal system
* the media
* the party system
* corporate policies
then these are abused to BYPASS the Constitutional check and balances on govt and perpetuate problems as listed in the OP.

 

[Fenton Lum]

You girls should resign yourselves to the fact that Hilary is going to be your next president.

Why? I think this will do more to turn people against her than anything trump could have done. The PEOPLE are tired of being lied to, abused, and now being shown to be "less thans". The political class has now basically said that they are above the law.

We'll see.

Yes, but most folks only give a rat's ass when it's on the "other" side.

I don't worry now ass swipe. I just don't give garbage the title. If they want to lie, cheat, and bee assholes then they don't get the title.
