64. I've loved all of your posts on this all the way through!
The thing is, to be blunt Americans should always see more power with we the people than with them, the hired temporary help. Elected officials are temp workers serving the people, any power they have or accomplishment they take part in belong to the people, for without the people, they do not have jobs, nor power, and they accomplish nothing of value.
Of course, once a President announces that some minorities are not 'sanctified by God' that person is clearly not on my side in the way Occupy Wall Street is on my side. Hard to argue that 'God in the Mix' Obama is doing much for my equal marriage rights, which he thinks are an affront to his invisible pal, Harvey the Talking Deity who tells him that only straights like Newt have that magical 'sanctity'.
Tell me what the word 'sanctity' means in the context of civil law, and we can talk.
Occupy Wall Street is doing more for us than any highly compensated political professional is doing, and they are also not doing the harm that the politipros are doing to us. Occupy Wall Street did not tell me to look the other way at Bush crimes or was it 'look forward'? They did not hand billions to Goldman, while playing skin flint with children and the elderly. The elected Temps did that.
Oh, perhaps out of respect I should call them Mr Elected Temp? Elected Temp, sir?
