The truth is, sane people have left the Republican Party and now vote Democratic
.
The problem with a two party set up is that when one party goes insane, and all their members are in lockstep in the insanity, like happened under Bush/Cheney, you are left with no alternative than a one party system. I wonder if a strong third party that offered real alternatives should not be poised to run, but in practice and actuality, both parties are in collusion to prevent that from ever happening.

Funny you should ask. Not only have I hired 11 people in the last year, I've so done even after being deployed to Iraq (twice) and Afghan (once) over the last few years. Yep Ergo, life and business is good. Sorry that doesn't conform to your version of misery, but being a patriot is not miserable. In fact it's very satisfying. I'm sorry that you don't have such good fortune. Perhaps if you took a moment to love your country for once, you'd understand.

I wonder if the lemmings who were shot today found it satisfying. I doubt it.

Maybe Aero, in the kindness in his heart, and in gratitude for their help in making his business a success, will at least send the families flowers.

My business is not military related. It's directly related to higher education, determination, appreciation for the freedoms this country has given me, and in return, I have given back to my country.

You reap what you sow buddy. Sorry you're so miserable. Perhaps you should take a step back and reflect for a moment.

Don't let your dogma get run over by YOUR karma.

Pretty ironic statement, since the concept of karma is the precise one I invoked to begin with.
