Out of Control!

Long time no blog.  No excuses.  Just long time.

Every day is something new.  Some new obscenity.  Some new threat.  Some new challenge to what we would have said not long ago was sacred.

I'll give them credit for pursuing their agenda non-stop, creatively, boldly, arrogantly.  Who would have thought it would be this bad, this fast?  Not I!

The temptation is to fight back - every day.  To rise to the bait.  To do something.  The problem is that that doesn't help.  They get away with almost everything.  For the most part the courts are on their side.  Congress is helpless.  The executive institutions have been hollowed out and filled with loyalists.

The polls are saying what I want to hear.  Disapproval is on the rise.  That's good news.  But not enough to provide relief or guarantee that things will get better soon.

Some time ago I wrote that the civil war had already begun.  Nothing has happened that has changed my mind.  I wish it were otherwise.  It is out of control!
