The Eroding Character Of The American People

Here is an excellent and timely essay by Dr. Paul Craig Roberts:

The question is: why do Americans not only sit silently while the lives of innocents are destroyed, but also actually support the destruction of the lives of innocents? Why do Americans believe “official sources” despite the proven fact that “official sources” lie repeatedly and never tell the truth?

The only conclusion that one can come to is that the American people have failed. We have failed Justice. We have failed Mercy. We have failed the US Constitution. We have failed Truth. We have failed Democracy and representative government. We have failed ourselves and humanity. We have failed the confidence that our Founding Fathers put in us. We have failed God. If we ever had the character that we are told we had, we have obviously lost it. Little, if anything, remains of the “American character.”

I agree with him, and I hear echoes of his sentiments in the following post:

Yes, we failed, but "our" government took advantage of that failure to make things even worse than they otherwise might have been.

Is ANYONE really happy with the way things have turned out? I know I'm not.
