I am bothered that America has so many enemies, but I am truly bothered that our two political parties have become combatants to and of each other. And this is not a matter to be taken lightly. I am not necessarily discussing the politicians, per se, either. I have literally heard republicans refering to democrats using adjectives fit for an enemy. And I have heard some very hateful comments from democrats when speaking of republicans. Hey folks, members of both parties are still Americans. Are there Americans that really believe this country would be better without a two party system? And there is a bigger agenda than any one man can run, anyway. But, I think what we really need to look at, is the comment made by the terrorist group that claims responsibility for 9/11. The hatred expressed for our Western culture and the American way. Well, they haven't done anything since that day, but our culture has changed dramatically and the American way is going to cave in on itself, if we don't quit feeding fear and hatred. Now, I am going to refer some pretty blunt things that I have heard and find the need to make comment. First, I hear democrats continuously questioning President Bush's intelligence, and at the same time discussing his global agenda. Well, if he's smart enough to mastermind a global agenda that fools everyone, he's no idiot. So that argument looses ground quickly one way or the other. Now, if we hold on to the same global agenda theory, but someone else is doing the thinking, how do we know he's not the red herring and America is just being kept busy? In all fairness to the republicans and I am not one, democrats shot themselves in the foot, more than once. We must look at this logically. When the unions were losing what little ground they had, and a single stroke of the pen put a NAFTA highway on top of the teamsters, and welfare reform began, and there was no health program actually initiated, and all of that was underway by 1995, under a democrat president. Why in the world would he be re-elected by the very people he let down. So, should they really be mad at republicans?
Now, this is where I get kind of torn between conspiracy theories and simple law of averages. Maybe there is a huge global plan to carry out more hateful attacks against the USA, or maybe just maybe we have crossed the line of which there is no return. Maybe our own divisions and fear of the outside is what is really killing the very heart of America.
And if a kingdom be divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand.
