You cannot make this stuff up, and we the people need to wake up. The men of this country need to understand our own role in leadership. Between both of these officers one or both should have called each other and said, hey lets just call the guy, end of story. Sure hope you are not "educated" on some other "grave" offense you have committed, you know like cutting down a healthy tree.

Let’s just say that after generations of cultivating weak men, we have few bold enough to act as you described. You might enjoy the post We Have Met the Enemy and He Is Us, which touches on the subject directly. Thanks brother, for reading and commenting. Please share with any and all you think might be receptive.

I've been a bit of a pessimist to be sure; the founders saw this coming from a long way off, as did Tocqueville. The questions for me now are two-fold: first, can we slow the decline enough to "buy" ourselves another generation or two before the republic is completely destroyed; and second, in that time can we recreate the People that the republic was made for? Both of those are long shots, and some might say we need a couple of consecutive miracles to get a "yes" to both of those questions. I know though, we both believe in miracles.
