LOL left wing this, right wing that it cracks me up! The number of people in this nation that are right and left wing zealots is very small. The average American could care less about right/left wing whining and want those they have elected to lead to work together for the good of the nation and for the people in it. When I hear the right/left wing spittle start I turn right off and let them go. All it proves to me when this shit starts is that these people who push this crap are only concerned about their own selfish agendas.
Sharen is right this government is no longer for the people and I know some people hate to hear this but it's our fault for letting this happen. The ideals that gave birth to this nation are gone, the very documents that grant us freedom are under attack daily by proponents from both sides of government. There is no such thing as free elections here if any other party other than the big two so much as raises its head it is black balled, taken to court to be removed from ballots, bared from debates and branded as "wacko" or you are told you've wasted your vote. And when the elections are over and the results do not please the either of the big two a federal court decides who won. How is this free elections when the will and the desires of the people are ignored? How are these free elections when there are only two candidates to choose from? Why are Americans so contented to continue to recycle the same old riff raff in selecting leadership? Has it not become obvious that this isn't working? It takes a crisis of the magnitude we are facing for Americans to finally see that in a time of crisis those we elect are running around with their heads cut off? Damn it's time to stop whining that you can't change things and continue to settle for rubbish. The idea that wanting to clean out your government and change how it operates being "Anti-American" or committing treason has to stop. The people in D.C. commit treason on a daily basis and this is acceptable???? If you say you love your country wouldn't you want to fight for it?
People need to get mad and stay mad and show those in DC we mean business. Our leaders know all too well that if they throw a bone to the people here and there and make things appear they are better people will shut up and forget. We can't do that anymore nor can we afford to do that anymore if we continue to go down this road the United States that gave my immigrant parents a new life, I grew up in, served in military service and have loved all my life will no longer be as it once was. I don't think enough people in this nation understand that the crisis we are facing is not over blown or will just pass away in a few days it's deadly serious this time because it's just not the states it's the world facing this. We need to force our leaders to work together and leave the partisan bullshit out of it and time for the mavericks, the changers, these people we think can walk on water, to do what they were sent to Washington to do.
If we sit back and not get involved we lose and I mean more involved and not just that feeling " I'm proud to be an American" one gets from voting and think they did their part. It takes calls, it take emails, it takes letters and it takes calling those we elect on the carpet for doing a shitty job. But I guess more people are going to have to loose their homes, their jobs, their health care and possibly their lives on a personal level before Americans get into their thick skulls that there is indeed a major problem before they finally get angry enough to do something about it. As Klebnor said spare me the right wing, left wing bullshit and get to work!
