This is way democracy ends...

not with a bang, but a whimper. (apologies to Mr. Eliot). Digby says this democracy is dying a death of a thousand cuts, after 4 years of domestic spying, lying to the people and telling them it is the truth, a war without end Amen Amen, and both elected branches of government filled to the brim with not only dishonest criminals, but incompetent ones at that. It is time for us, and the press as the 4th branch, to hold them accountable. If we don't do it now, it might not be possible later. Bit by bit they take away rights until the right to redress wrongs is gone.
