Reply #21: One of the crazy things

[libodem]

that really burned me out was the commutation of Scooter Libby's sentence. I wasn't expecting it and it took the wind out of my sails. Many people on the board were nonplussed. I thought my heart would disintegrate with grief. I didn't know I even cared until it got taken away. What a let down. I have huge outrage fatigue. And yet I see outrage and contempt, take the Republicans so far in their causes. Maybe we just don't do the look down your nose, pinch your face up like you re smelling shit, and spit out condemnation like rotten milk, like they can. I think of, Bill Clinton, and how the nation did not really care what went on, but the ability of the 'Project for a new America' manage to have him publicly humiliated, and impeached. In that, Bill Moyers Journal presentation with Bruce Fein and John Nichols, calls desperately to have Dem Leadership demonstrate some moral indignation about the destruction of our very constitution. If our Dem leaders can't inspire us to direct our anger and frustration in a meaningful manner, how can we vent our spleen, in a way that brings some results. It doesn't do that much good to bash your head against the wall so someone else will feel guilty or feel the pain. I think the collective helplessness to affect our National situation has depressed the whole country. I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired. :banghead:
