It seems like we're so stuck in "Yay Us" mode, that we can't even acknowledge reality.
And sometimes it's like we don't have the confidence (or maybe the courage?) we need to cut thru the politics to get at the truth.
If I can't trust The Red Team or The Blue Team not to make it about nothing but politics, how are we supposed to hold people in the Junior Bush Administration accountable for the horrors of this last decade? And how do we demand that Obama's Admin stop whatever they're doing to continue those horrors - making it even harder to put an end to it all?
I dunno - but i think refusing to acknowledge the reality of how fucked up we let ourselves get is actually what keeps us stuck in "Yay Us" mode. And it appears we'll be there for a while longer.
