Has the breaking point been reached?
By Dennis Lund
When we think of corruption, the first thoughts usually are of bribery or other forms of obtaining favors from politicians or officeholders. Think Senator Robert Menendez or the ‘foundations’ of former presidents or public officials. Those are the blatant forms, which are all too common with today’s politicians; some just do a better job of hiding it than others, while some seem not to be required to hide it.
When we look at the Democrat Party of today, can anyone honestly say that they have not been corrupted? In years past, they stood for something; the members of the Party could be believed when they said they loved their country. That is no longer the case.
I recall the stories of the friendship between President Reagan and House Speaker Tip O’Neill, complete with strong disagreements by day and beers or cocktails over dinner. Those days have long faded into the history books.
In the ugly days of Watergate, the stories revealed about Nixon shocked the country. My Gawd!! He used the F word in the Oval Office? Fast forward to the Clinton years and his behavior in the Oval Office, Democrats shrugged their shoulders at oral sex being received from a 23-year-old intern as being nothing to get upset about. Things change over time, and they have only gotten worse.
