The more I pay attention to the political scene, wow it's a cancer to the soul. The way it is nowadays, all it seems to do is get people very angry to the point of hating the world and just about everyone in it.
Seriously - some of you people really need to pay attention to what you are doing. You hate an entire swath of people simply because they think and believe differently than you. How do you people manage to get along with anyone is beyond me.
Whatever happened to getting along and being cooperative with each other? Not having to resort to violence and mob mentality trying to suppress the other side every means possible.
Instead we get stuff like...

This is another reason that confirms my choice to move from MA.
When will the average citizens of MA, who are tired of this feel good liberal nonsense, finally put a stop to it? When will they drive the leftist academics from power?

While I'm glad to see the outpouring of people who are like me, the truth is that people like me are a very small percentage of Wichita residents. I need to get out of here. Conservative oppressors have sucked all the life out of me.
We get it. Conservatives hate liberals, liberals hate conservates. I hate you both because you act like six year olds.

Anyone else tired of this crap?
Yes, I am very tired of it, but unfortunately while there is a revolution playing out, this is what happens. You have the defenders and you have the revolutionaries. This will not get any better until this all plays itself out and everyone (who cares) finally realizes that it is EVERYONE'S future that is at stake because in the end, we are ALL Americans.
Good days, and bad days. Sometimes I am laughing here. I think the depression comes from feeling like we can't do a thing about the ills of the world. We watch the powers that be, and fall into a kind of indifference once the outrage wears down a bit. Take a break, but don't give up on things that you feel passionately about.
The political hotbed that is our country today is upsetting, and can be downright depressing.
But politics has always been rough naviagating, this is nothing new.
What is concerning to me is the way our country is going today. Down a road we have never been before, and into debt that we may never recover from.
Even worse, the Obama administration doesn't seem to understand? Or Care? I don't know which. And so many people are following in lock step.
But as far as allowing it to affect my day to day life and depress me? You can't let things out of your control affect your life. You just have to do your best to live your life the best you can and within your own mores and value system.
Because obviously, most likely you are not going to change peoples minds, as is evident on this fourm.

I never get tired of it. My children's future is at stake and liberals (with thier departure from common sense) are the biggest threat to that future. Unfortunately, I do believe that many republicans are just like democrats and spend like fools. However, we do need to have a marked "change" in which our representatives become fiscally responsible before insolvency occurrs. You can have all the abortions, pot, gay marriages......whatever. Just stop spending.

I realize I can't change too many opinions of people here, or anywhere.
However, I do consider myself a liberal and I am a Democrat. However, I will agree in saying we can not spend more than we take in. It is foolish and reckless to run into debt, and both sides are equally guilty of this.
Spending is fine, as long as there is good purpose for it - and as long as we bring in enough income to support said spending. And that doesn't mean tax everyone to death either. Where exactly the fair medium is, I'm not sure - not my job to determine.

That is the first time I have ever heard a liberal speak with common sense. Thank you.
