afx: Couldn’t agree more. We now argue over left versus right, Repub or Dem and, in so doing, miss the big picture.
Which is probably exactly the way the powers that be want it.
There is something truly enjoyable about a good, feisty dialogue and something truly hateful about the way discourse (or lack of it) is now conducted.
We’re all Americans, and the safety, security and prosperity of this country includes and involves all of us. Yet here we sit, throwing mud at each other and arguing over something that, in truth, we can do little to control, largely because we’ve so completely submitted to the arbitrary whims of the idiots we elected. And, yeah, that includes Obama.
