Over and over again on November 4th, I heard the pundits and the members of Congress refer to one of the major factors in the election as being the financial debacle of 2008. Further in the vein of thought, the discussion inevitably led to the statement, "We got ourselves into this mess and we will have to dig ourselves out of it."
That is an outright lie. I had nothing to do with it and neither did my friends, neighbors or relatives; but every member of Congress and half of the Administration DID.
The methodology of convincing US to smile as we hoist these burdens onto OUR backs is to switch the blame from THEM to US through the use of the word WE.
Sometimes, I feel as if we truly are a nation of EWES being chased around the corral by a whole bunch of horny old THEMS.
