When something has feathers, a bill, waddles, and quacks...you'd think it would be difficult to deny...it's a duck!
But there's a lot of denial going around these days, in fact it seems practically epidemic. Despite any and all evidence presented, people do not want to believe what's staring them right in the face.
What's being denied primarily is bad ethics, but also, there is denial of questionable associations, and agendas.
The fact that bad ethics don't seem to bother so many people sure bothers me, so I've actually spent a good deal of time thinking about it. I've realized that the difficulties we're experiencing as a country are reflected in recent events within the movement to put a stop to out of control government. So, lacking any other term, I must say, events inside the Tea Party "movement" are reflective of what has been plaguing us as a country.
