I have always been aware of the maddening state of the political landscape of the U.S. (and by political landscape I mean politics, government , social climate and programs, national finance, etc.) Recently, I have been made increasingly aware of how bad it really is. The current U.S. financial crisis is just the visible bone sticking out of the shattered leg of the U.S.
For many years now the Constitution of the United States has been changed, ignored, and trampled by federal government expansion and by high court judgements. It used to be that the U.S. supreme court and state supreme courts merely applied the Constitution to unique situations or helped the lower courts. Now, if you want a law, you just have to have a court case and keep re-appealing to higher and higher courts. If you can get a supreme court to rule on it - TADA! a law!
Over the years the federal government has gone from a political entity designed to help hold the states together and stand for them as a whole to this monstrous corporation that verges on a communistic regime. We the people have whined and complained (some of us whined, some sat back and ignored it) to the federal government about everything and want them to take care of us like a nanny. Recently we have gone as far as to blame the federal government for not stopping hurricanes and for our poor financial industry practices.
So, I'm going to stop ranting here and hope that you have some idea why I am up in arms about the state of our country. If you are scoffing and writing me off, please take some time and look into what's happening around you and decide for yourself. That is one of the reasons for this blog: to encourage others to be aware of what is happening to this country politically, morally, financially, and spiritually. Another reason is to help inform about issues that are critical. We need to be informed before we act and we do need to act.
We the people . . . There is no "they".
