An American Tragedy

Image
A tragedy is defined as a play dealing with tragic events and having an unhappy ending, especially one involving the downfall of the main character. That main character is typically brought down by his/her own flaws, which usually tend to be ordinary human flaws. Given America's current political landscape there are numerous words that could be chosen to describe how a once great constitutional republic has found itself in the midst of a Bolshevik revolution. Ironic, for a country who fought against fascism and communism, that it now finds those same fascistic winds blowing in the land of the free. However ironic it is, tragic most aptly sums up how America has fallen due to its own flaws. Those flaws include ignorance, apathy, a broken moral compass, a loss of patriotism, and a distinct move away from God.     Just forty years ago, Ronald Reagan ushered in an American revival.

"This is not a job interview. This is Hell. This is the most unethical sham I have ever seen in politics. And if you really wanted to know the truth, you sure as hell wouldn't have done what you've done to this guy...Boy, y'all want power. God, I hope you never get it." ~ Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) Brett Kavanaugh expected a tough time facing off against Democrats in his confirmation hearings. One of the duties of the U.S. Senate is to give advice and consent on Supreme Court nominations. Article II, Section II of the Constitution states that the President of the United States "shall nominate, and by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, shall appoint ambassadors, other public ministers and consuls, judges of the Supreme Court, and all other officers of the United States whose appointments are not herein otherwise provided for, and which shall be established by law." It does not state anywhere in the Constitution that those nominees be su...
