Like many Americans, I've all but lost my faith in the governmental process as it's instituted. A number of our municipalities are exhibiting "police state" behaviors in the name of safety/security, our highest levels of government seem to be open to the highest bidder, and our elected officials regularly engage in after-office corruption at level we haven't openly seen since the days before the crash of '29.
Never in the history of America has it become so very, very obvious that the goals of the average lawmaker and the good of the common man or woman have little in common. We've always paid platitudes to the American Dream, as though every man, woman, and child can be Horatio Alger -- but we know that's not true. We know the deck is stacked from birth. The conservative platform often seems to be "I got mine, I don't owe society anything."
How do you feel about our responsibilities to our fellow men and women? How will you, as a reasonable, independent conservative, fight the degradation of the system? No sarcasm intended.
