I hate to mix politics and theology but...I think you are right. I am very pessimistic about the U.S. From top to bottom we see so much lie and distortion in political messages. Like Pilot we can ask, 'What is truth?" We wont find it in our leaders. And they are picked by us, although we do not have very good choice.
I understand this sentiment completely.
I think the great mistake of American life is that many people in the US have turned politics into a religion. This is precisely how the Religious Right has corrupted Christian discourse in this country. Of course, Christian discourse in this country was shallow to begin with, but this is all the more reason each of us needs to dive deeper beyond the many false shepherds and blind guides who will try to manipulate us into exchanging the truth for a lie.
