Tornado Alley (PROG)

I appreciate all that you do here.
It is refreshing to see someone with an open, inquisitive mind about the political situation in the world and in our own country.

most recently, the reenactment of the USA PATRIOT Act by the House has completely demoralized me.
we have managed to shred the bill of rights, our inheritance,a nd our future.
without it we are are a tin horn dictatorship or plutocracy, or worse.

as a people who should be devoted to "justice", so many choose personal aggrandisement of wealth and power, never understanding, that without justice, there can be no freedom.

so much of what we face is the naked grab at power (oil) which dilutes the blood of those who have sacrificed their lives at the altar of "freedom".

This is Not the America I was raised to believe in, and my heart aches.
what can we do?
