Democracy Gone Astray

Democracy, being a human construct, needs to be thought of as directionality rather than an object. As such, to understand it requires not so much a description of existing structures and/or other related phenomena but a declaration of intentionality.
This blog aims at creating labeled lists of published infringements of such intentionality, of points in time where democracy strays from its intended directionality. In addition to outright infringements, this blog also collects important contemporary information and/or discussions that impact our socio-political landscape.

All the posts here were published in the electronic media – main-stream as well as fringe, and maintain links to the original texts.

[NOTE: Due to changes I haven't caught on time in the blogging software, all of the 'Original Article' links were nullified between September 11, 2012 and December 11, 2012. My apologies.]

But in Ted Cruz's America, she waits tables. Judging from his 21-hour hold on the Senate floor and C-SPAN cameras Tuesday and Wednesday, every struggling single mom that the Texas senator has ever met works at a diner. And, apparently, every struggling single parent he's ever met has been a mom. We pulled together all the references he made to such moms and mashed them together above.
