I watched an interesting TV show tonight, one that showed that we as a country have become totally polarized in our political viewpoints. It claimed that whole communities are coming together united in common ground by their beliefs.
From my point of view...that really sucks. Give me a good argument anytime! Come on, change my point of view. Whatever happened to the forceful sway of a svengali, a silver tongued devil who could convince a tea totaller of the error of their ways. Did it all die with slick Willie? Did the nation gorge itself on one scandal after another till there is no real political fervor left? Or are we still waiting for the next big cliff hanger to take place?
We have established politics as a way to get our viewpoints across in a civilized manner. Our congressmen, our senators should represent ALL THE PEOPLE in their districts...not just the money bags that voted them in.
Somehow, I feel our founding fathers & mothers too would not be too happy with us right now. They fought, they bled, they sacrificed much to give us a free nation..we belittle their memory with each scandal.
The future could be a wonderful place for our next generations - but we must secure the basics, human dignity, freedom, right to live in peace and everything else guaranteed by our hard won constitution.
God bless America...land that I love
Stand beside her and guide her....
Happy 4th of July

Policiticans always support the ones with the money, I think it is the same the world over.
