Quote: 

If this country throws those idiots out there again to run, we get the leadership we deserve.  Until the American public gets serious about electing a president, and leaders in congress who are intent on doing what's best for this country and not for the perpetuation of their political careers, we're screwed.

We do get the leadership we deserve, for sure. We sell out. Allow them to sell out. Allow ourselves to be blatenly lied to even when American lives are being thrown around. We refuse to hold these fools accountable. We openly refuse to be informed. We allow ourselves to walk around with the "Merica is the Greatest" cliche tatted to our chest, yet not do anything to earn it. We act like every achievement deserves an ongoing Medal of Honor, and insist upon forgetting or ignoring anyone who paved the way or helped us get there. I believe we are content to whine and complain about things while doing nothing to make a difference.


I don't buy the dramatic "we're screwed" notion, although ill have to put some additional thought into the basis for this.
