I prefer to look at right/wrong, just/unjust, moral/immoral, constitutional/unconstitutional (lawful), etc. The vitriol spewing from both ends is showing how effective the brainwashing and propaganda is. That needs to be healed, quickly.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10386991593839789239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-53246864840716464.post-83370235142574005382010-11-28T10:59:21.660-08:002010-11-28T10:59:21.660-08:00"What ALL Americans Want"

Of course the Republican Congress says one thing and votes the total opposite. Of course the Democratic Congress says one thing and votes the total opposite. In reading this post, I don't think that the author was trying to convey that we 'fix' Congress, or 'fix' America via our electards. We need to talk to each other on Main Street, your neighbors, relatives, friends, and forge that common ground ascribed above on a personal level. This is the only way forward.<br /><br />Just look at the groundswell of anger on both sides of the political spectrum regarding the Don't Touch My Junk Day coming up. The media is on a full court press attempting to scare the public. This is a great subject to bring up to those friends of yours who may be a Bushlover or Oblamatron.Henry Dandolohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14005770811938190045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-53246864840716464.post-66046381013705817742010-11-21T18:05:20.292-08:002010-11-21T18:05:20.292-08:00Obfuscation of truth and the pitting of one extrem...Obfuscation of truth and the pitting of one extreme against the other is a demonstrably effective method employed by our moneyed and bureaucratic elite to dismantle the rule of law and entrench the ruling class.<br /><br />"This is not a question of party loyalty, but a great fundamental principle of freedom, justice and humanity, a tenet of truth, law and legal right which is sought to be tampered with, and down-trod."

Hold SEIU accountable, but not Goldman Sachs.<br /><br />"Liberals tend to believe that the public should be protected against harm."<br /><br />Yep, but only against Republican harm. Hold Bush accountable, but not Obama.<br /><br />As long as folks like Palin and Beck and not Ron Paul lead the Tea Party, and as long as Barney Frank and Ed Schultz lead the "progressives", what you suggest just ain't happenin'!<br /><br />Simply put, most Americans are too damned lazy to seek the truth. Like the 70 percent who want something for nothing, 70 percent...okay, okay, make that 97 percent!...want someone to hand them the truth for nothing as well.<br /><br />In other words, American can NOT be fixed. But it can cease to exist, and then we start over...D.L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/18210410457920036147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-53246864840716464.post-72311687260657048442010-11-19T21:35:35.435-08:002010-11-19T21:35:35.435-08:00"We Can Fix America If We Focus [...]"
..."We Can Fix America If We Focus [...]"<br /><br />I would point out, this is exactly what Tim Geithner and Ben Bernanke are thinking too.<br /><br />This mutinying rabble here? Not a chance in Hell do they have of fixing anything.<br /><br />Geithner and Bernanke?<br /><br />They have the vote of a few people who have all their irons in the fire.<br /><br />The rest of us, mean nothing.<br /><br />Even those who have no belief in praying should pray, and pray, and pray some more -that there is a god who will come strike these people dead...<br /><br />I just finished reading Gibbon's -Decline and Fall-.

I can't find the poll at the moment but there was one conducted where there was a huge difference between "government run healthcare" and "Medicare for all" (a sizable majority favored the latter, of course). Many on the extreme right and left are united in support for the Constitution, but have been so poisoned by propaganda that they no longer see each other as human beings. Sadly, the conventional wisdom is that every issue is simple, and that there are two sides: R and D, red and blue, nothing else to see here.Coreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04997885410986321906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-53246864840716464.post-60880916065983822642010-11-19T13:21:26.803-08:002010-11-19T13:21:26.803-08:00False.

Conservatives say they favor these things, but the conservatives in Congress only mouth their support of these things and do everything possible to block achieving them.<br /><br />Republican politicians don't represent the constituency that votes for them; they represent the constituencies that financed their political campaigns to fool those fools.Eric Zuessehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02476705883508590393noreply@blogger.com
