Blog Entry of the Day.

"Watch Dan Rather apologize for not getting his facts straight, humiliated before the eyes of America, voluntarily undermining his credibility and career of over thirty years. Observe Donna Brazille squirm as she is ridiculed by Bay Buchanan, and pronounced irrelevant and nearly non-existent. Listen as Donna and Nancy Pelosi and Senator Charles Schumer take to the airwaves saying that they have to go back to the drawing board and learn from their mistakes and try to be better, more likable, more appealing, have a stronger message, speak to morality. Watch them awkwardly quote the bible, trying to speak the new language of America. Surf the blogs, and read the comments of dismayed, discombobulated, confused individuals trying to figure out what they did wrong. Hear the cacophony of voices, crying out, “Why did they beat me?”

"And then ask anyone who has ever worked in a domestic violence shelter if they have heard this before.

"They will tell you, every single day."

True, true! I think that the realization phase is the toughest part of the problem solving cycle. And the fight that the abusers put up to keep the status quo the way is is is very telling. Again, it's fear based. They don't want change.

How to apply this tactic to the greater country and culture will be an interesting challenge. It is clear that in many ways, our democracy is circling the drain, yet people are unaware of it, or if they are, they're too paralyzed with their own disbelief -Totalitarianism? Theonomy? Here? No! It can't happen here- we can't be oppressors- this is America!- to do anything about it. But to survive, we must.

Strange times we're in...
