The web they weave...

Even common courtesy is considered "political correctness".

The political rancor is understandable.

However necessary the need to work together to solve our problems, there is no spirit for "bi-partisanship" in Washington.

They bought into the name-calling, the division, and the lies. They adopted the "if you can't beat 'em, join 'em" philosophy.

At last report, the previous Administration had over 30.000 lies or misrepresentations over the last four years. That is a heavy load for anyone to carry. But the Republican Party establishment in Washington has chosen to carry it.

The self-deception has become so powerful that it is no longer possible to communicate. All conversations and discussions must begin with some parameters. Discussions cannot begin with the premise of a lie. That is the web they have woven.

There is no room for honest discussion.
