Right this way...

It’s happening again - the Right is rallying its impressionable masses once more through chanting war cries, fear, and all the other mindless tripe that sets an already agitated crowd on fire. America has to stop falling for this…

Sarah Palin and the rest of her ilk refuse to acknowledge (or take responsibility) that many of our problems stem from the incredibly bad leadership of Mr. Obama’s predecessor. She smugly asks, 'How’s that hopey, changey thing?’, when it is republicans who have thwarted the President’s efforts to motivate an upswing in the economy. Tell us, Governor, what was Alaska’s unemployment rate when you jumped ship? Perhaps it’s just easier for some to discourage progress, stoke anger, and create an impenetrable wall of partisan phobia, than brainstorm constructively, in a cooperative environment - to the betterment of an entire nation.

From coast to coast, the country is exhausted politically. It runs the real risk of eventually alienating a throng of voters who, through hopelessness, will walk away from the political process altogether, leaving unmonitored legislative power to yet more incompetents. If a strong, independent third-party platform does not rise up soon to challenge the system (and keep it in check) in the face of disarray and smug obstructionism, our ability to legislate effectively and draw the country out of recession, will be undermined for years to come.
