“We Have Become Such Grumbling Drones — Powerless, Passive, And Frankly A Bit Pathetic"
Call me old fashioned …
I love America …
The Constitution and the Bill of Rights …
The vision of the Founding Fathers …
The “can do” American spirit …
Americans’ ingenuity and creativity.
As one of the nation’s leading Constitutions experts – George Washington University law school professor Jonathan Turley – notes:
I am still amazed that we have come to this point of rapidly declining feelings of freedom and widespread dissociation with our political system. It is not the failure of our constitutional system and only partially the failure of our leaders. It is largely a failure in ourselves that we have become such grumbling drones — powerless, passive, and frankly a bit pathetic. Our government is openly trying to strip away core privacy protections and increase police powers at every level. Yet, we have fallen victim to the “blue state” and “red state” mentality — allowing politicians to constantly deflect criticism by referring to the other side as the greater evil. The result is predictable and … incredibly depressing.
