Everything Must Change
The Philadelphia Daily News reports on the emerging political involvement of bloggers in The new kids on Dem block. A number of politically active bloggers such as Albert Yee of Philly Dragonballyee and Chris Bowers of MyDD, are running for Democratic City Committee spots, but are encountering resistance from the party.
Change is always difficult, especially for the entrenched Democratic political machine. But change is also a good thing, especially when the status quo is an entrenched Democratic political machine.
The culture of corruption that exists in Washington is certainly more pervasive and destructive for the country as a whole than anything we are seeing locally, but Philly has its own culture of corruption. Owned, operated and controlled by Democrats. Over the past few years, Philadelphians have been treated to an on-going federal investigation of various Democratic city officials and others doing business with them.
Whenever one party has too much control, for too long, they get too cocky. They begin to believe that government exists for their benefit and their entitlement mentality causes the beginning of corruption. The results of that are apparent in Philly and DC.
More power to the new kids on the block!
