Where is the outrage?

No offense meant to anyone, just a personal observation and commentary:

A country is divided, election process becomes a laughing matter, the Supreme Court installs a president, terrorists level twin towers, Iraq war starts (and continues) with lies and deception, close to 2000 US soldiers die (thousands of Iraqis die, but that doesn't count, some lives are more valuable than others), a black 3rd world appears right in the heart of Big Easy after a hurricane, gap continues to widen between rich and poor, surplus of pre-2000 turns into a trillion dollar deficit, gasoline price soars, the extreme right continues to bully (If you are not with the "right", you must be wrong. If you are not with me, you must be against me.), "liberal" is framed as a bad word, a country that struggled to uphold its individual freedom with pride begins to lose the same, religion & politics undermine separation of church & state, world respect erodes, a great country begins to slide back in time.

We watch in dismay as helpless, impotent bystanders. Thank the fore fathers for their wisdom that we have term limits for some high places. Is our government still "the government of the people, by the people, for the people"?
