Short, good post on HuffPo. The last paragraph of the post is it:
That this is carried out, and often rewarded, in the name of the Constitution, democratic rights and liberties, and patriotism is a mockery of all this nation claims to believe and almost all of us continue to struggle to preserve. America is better than this.
It’s difficult for me to believe this is what American politics have become. But maybe this country has been on this path for the last 60+ years? Perhaps these days, it’s just more obvious? And brazen? And coordinated? Damn. How the hell do I explain this crap to my kids? And how do we break the cycle?
