Ezra Klein: The political system that doesn't modernize and eventually finds its vulnerabilities exploited by interest-group pressure, internal divisions and reckless politicians? This is certainly the way of great nations. It’s the way they fall.
Panic on the streets of London

Does anyone else find it ironic that conservative Christians, so ready to fight for the "founding principles" of our nation, so wanting to "reclaim" America for what it "was", so unwilling to change anything the founding fathers "wanted", often are the ones whose churches are so vastly different from the origins of the Christian church (Not that I have a problem with passionate guitar solos during worship time)?
And that its kind of the opposite for liberal Christians?
Either way, Ezra Klein paints a bleak picture for the future of this country behind the assertion that debt ceiling battles will become part of the norm. And don't think for a second that the Democrats are above employing the same despicable tactics. Politics is a sport, and success is always copied.
