A good read on the current state of things
Asia Times
I agree with this article. The State of The Union has devolved over time into basically a cheer leading / pep rally event. I used to watch it regularly. Perhaps I'm missing something. But under our corporate funded "Democracy," I don't think so. Citizens United was the last nail in the coffin of American Democracy. So when we try to "call-out" various dictators, thugs, and murderers, I just know they chuckle. Nobody beats Uncle Sam at terrorism, murder, "disappearing" people and God only knows what other horrors. There's money to be made.
