We probably agree on more than you can imagine, petch. I merely choose to see it from a larger perspective. You seem to place the majority of the blame (for the current state of this union) upon one man. I do not see him as being nearly that powerful. It is the workings (I use that term loosely
) of the government as a whole that have brought us to where we are, and it began LONG before Obama's name was ever even heard. The process is recently escalating, and Obama is merely the figurehead in place at the time.
What Obama's
stated policies are, and what has
actually occurred since his becoming President, are two entirely different things. The actual outcomes are the manifestation of the whole, not of that one man.
The parties in DC are manipulating the masses and polarizing them to think "
their side" is the side of righteousness, and "
the other guy" is the enemy.
And all the while, their plan is being carried out while we're preoccupied with the hatred that they supplant.
I chose, more recently than I'd like to admit, to stop following their lead, and to question everything I hear from a tv, radio, or Internet forum. I have found that my "enemies" are not my neighbors, and this whole political process in DC (and maybe worldwide) is suspect.
Carry on petch, and, WOW, 4:54am, eh? Don't you EVER get any sleep?
