Read this post from Glen Greenwald at Salon. It offers up the hope that we are finally taking back our country:
Most of what has occurred in this country under the Bush presidency has been effectively concealed -- mostly due to a broken, corrupt media and a malfeasant Congress -- but all of it is beginning to emerge, and the consequences will likely be as extreme as the corruption and deceit itself have been.
I have been a fan of this man since reading "How Would A Patriot Act".
This could be the beginning of a groundswell that might, just might, restore democratic principles and the constitutional rule of law to this nation.
Perhaps, this may even push the theocratic, hypocritical and utterly corrupt Republicans out of office for a generation or more. This, I gauge, is what it will take for them to rediscover their libertarian, "Party of Lincoln" roots.
Sometimes it just takes a generation for the old wheezing and rusted geriatroncratic kleptocracy to die off. (Pardon my deliberate redundancy.)
