The Obama administration issues an order, a decision, a mandate, an edict, a decree, via HHS --- the recent contraception mandate, for example.
Think about that.
Why does our nation debate this? Is this a decision up for discussion? Is it part of a bill that is working its way through congress and is vulnerable to the support of our representatives and, hence, us? Do we have even indirect influence over this edict?
Admittedly, we once had influence over an amorphous something as a bill but we had to pass it to see what was in it.
What was in it? Something decidedly unAmerican. Law by edict. Law by decree. Law that can be changed by the president to "accommodate" the Constitution.
Yet, we get gibberish such as "the morality of modern conservatism focuses on the crotch: abortion, contraception, homosexuality, premarital sex, and on and on " when conservatives are forcing none of this on America.
And this is our future: we will be free to discuss issue after issue just like this one, each a one-size-fits-all solution for our diverse nation of individuals. And we will each time hear the cries of diversity sheered from America as individual liberty is lost. And throughout we will be free to discuss and discuss issue after issue until we feel the placebo of influence on one another. But discussion and influence on one another is not influence over governance and without control, without influence in governance, who gives a rat's ass?
