Our politicians are serving their constituents. The problem is we are a divided country and it's getting worse. It's time to stop blaming politicians who we elect and do try to serve the majority of the people who vote for them. I think it's time for a reality check. Multi-cultural societies very rarely last over the long haul.

Recently, a federal government program called the Universal Service Fund came to the Keystone State and some residents are thrilled because it means they can enjoy 250 minutes a month and a handset for free, just because they don't have the money to pay for it

Simply put, no. Human beings are too messed up and will often vote against their own interests simply to one-up their perceived enemies.

I hope you all enjoy the years of a Chinese superpower. What could possibly go wrong with that....

True. The liberals have been pushing "diversity" and now that we have it they act like it's terrible. Of course we cannot come together, we do not have unity, we have diversity.

I assume you are talking about Real Americans™ because based upon our conversations I would have a hard time discerning the difference between being in hell and your vision of America.
