Post Political (governing for the greater good) America

“…In essence the same forces that make it possible for the rapid acceptance of ideas such as gay marriage are the same force which can create a society that will accept massive social inequalities.”
A piece that can be perceived as cynical or correct or even wrong, but a point of view that explains politics today. It is no longer about politics and the potentials of possibilities but rather about salesmanship in a culture whose only reference is the self.
“…At the precise moment that the intellectual underpinnings of conservative free market ideas that have dominated politics for the past 30 years are crumbling across the globe. Obama calls for a post ideological and partisan world.”
“…Barack Obama is in short order a far more reassuring prospect for the continued dominance of the financial elite than another four years of neo-conservative rule which in an almost historically unique combination of greed, ill will, incompetence and stupidity have brought the country to the edge of disaster.”
