Yes, I’d agree that the systematic destruction of our national infrastructure by neglect falls into that category.

    When GWB was elected a report came out from the national organization of civil engineers that listed $1 trillion worth of infrastructure repairs and construction needed for our nation. What we got instead was a $1 trillion tax cut, the one which was just renewed last December with our President’s initiative to renew most of them plus the Republicans insistence on the rest. (Kind of similar to the so-called deficit reduction deal. Spending cuts and no action to do anything to help stimulate the country and benefit non-wealthy people)

    A few years ago an interstate highway bridge collapsed because it had been allowed to rust and fall apart. If that bridge had been blown up by a bomb, the B-2 bombers would have been on their way to desolate the country responsible.

    Ha, yes. TREASON!
    That’s been on my mind these past few weeks. The republicans running the country into the ground for purely selfish and political reasons.
    Treason (per the Free Online Dictionary):
    1. (Government, Politics & Diplomacy) violation or betrayal of the allegiance that a person owes his sovereign or his country, esp by attempting to overthrow the government; high treason
    2. any treachery or betrayal

    Treason alright.

    Really, just call it:
    The Systematic Destruction Of Our Nation. period.
    And yes, I do believe that Obama plays his part in that, knowingly and wanting to.
    Talk about feeling helpless, powerless and so so close to hopelessness. Thank whoever for people like Sanders, Grayson, Weiner (yes that one), Barbara Lee and others who realize what’s at stake.
