Delusions of Granduer or just Insane Delusions?

What if George Orwell had been right/wrong all along? Does big brother really know what's best for every single person living, working, retired, and preparing to work (as well as those few choosing to be non-working and getting free Obama phones and unlimited food stamps) on the most critical decisions they confront for their entire lives - cradle to grave?  All 310,000,000 of us?  How does Big Brother even know the "ins and outs" of the lives of hundreds of millions of folks?  Oops almost forgot about the NSA and its unlimited surveillance capabilities.  As an aside, the chorus of NSA defenders are swift to point out that, despite all the recent criticisms of that Agency, not a single actual abuse of its gathered intelligence has ever been cited by these hysterical critics.  Oh really?   What about a low level contractor having sufficient resources (e.g. lap top) and completely unfettered computer access, thereby being able to steal practically every important secret being securely guarded by the NSA and giving those thousands of megabites to the Chinese and Russians.  Talk about an Agency not to be trusted as the premier steward of the Nation's "Top Secrets".  Yet, despite this scandal of unprecedented proportions, not a single employee of the federal government has been disciplined, not even with a paid day of leave from work for allowing Richard Snowden to take the "Keys to the Kingdom" and then sell them to the highest bidder, that champion of civil liberties and privacy protection, Putin's Russia.

Oh well, I guess to really get in trouble as a federal bureaucrat, you must gleefully refuse to do your job and cause the brutal, savage mutilation and murders of four Americans, bravely serving their country in a worn torn, foreign land.  Oops again; that failure of leadership makes no difference either.  It's just leading lambs to their slaughter, after all; indeed, a mere bump in the road, those crumpled up corpses.

So, the clear conclusion from this litany of federal executive branch blunders is that  accountability is an illusion, a mere chimera, indeed, a false promise of leadership - - some might say a "Big Lie", like a spontaneous demonstration that caused a spontaneous riot, that caused the spontaneous firing of mortar rounds for six or more hours more than a mile away from the spontaneous demonstration - - greatly undermines trust in government and its worthiness to be given more comprehensive powers over American lives.

We, therefore, must turn to the Nation's Legislative Branch to seek our integrity of action, intellectual honesty and accountability for failures of competent and trustworthy leadership.  In this vein, the Senate Majority Leader sets the penultimate standard by which all others are measured to ensure that the Constitutional checks and balances are preserved.  Harry Reid's speech on the Senate floor, February 25, 2014:

                     "All the tales being told by the Republicans and their Koch brothers' commercials, all those tales are just that, tales, all lies about the Affordable Care Act."

Harry Reid's speech on the Senate floor, March 26, 2014 - exactly 31 days after his prior unmistakeably clear defamation of every single (tens of millions of Americans by the way) Obamacare critic: 

                    " I never said on the floor of the Senate anything about the critics of the implementation of the Affordable Care Act, to the best of my recollection."

Come on MAN; it was 31 days and you could have easily watched the video before going back to the floor of the Senate to make that egregiously outrageous false statement.  Either big Brother is right and the vast majority of low information voters will swallow any lie no matter how ludicrous, so long as they get free bread and circuses, or the other 99 United States Senators have absolutely no self respect by allowing their crucial Branch of Government to be rendered impotent and the laughing stock of the Nation through acquiesing in the "leadership" of a deranged lunatic.  Our once great Constitutional Republic deserves better.
