We are living in extraordinary (and dangerous) times. And in the absence of competent leadership, we may be forever compromised as a people and as a culture. Gone are the days of solutions by way of reasonable men and common sense discussion. Political propaganda and modern media have corrupted the flow of information to “We the People”, and motivated the most sinister among us to act on their twisted intent. Meanwhile our president, a man who could have used his election to influence meaningful change for the better, instead continues to fan the flames of ignorance, using tragedies like those of the last few days to promote only ideological initiatives rooted in division and fear.

Is it too soon for this commentary? I’m not sure I know the answer to that question. For my part however, I do believe American’s must rise above the politics of division, as spewed by powerful men like Barack Obama and promoted by a complicit media. For in the end, it will be “We the People” who either acknowledge the truth, or allow this “government, of the people, by the people, for the people, to perish from the earth”…
