There was a time long ago when being a public servant in America was taken literally by most. Sadly those days seem far away today. It is so disappointing to see one after another politician enthralled in self preservation, self promotion, financial gain and a desire to make a career out of public service life. I have never been a bigger proponent of term limitations as I find myself to be today. Only a strict and revamped limitation on successive terms for the entire public sector from Congress to Judicial posts can solve some of these ills going forward.
Even more disturbing is the lack of demand for accountability from these folks by the public and the majority of the media. Once these checks and balances fail, as they are today, the kind of unprecedented Liberty as only defined by being an American in human history will sadly fade away.
