UNITED WE STAND, DIVIDED......

UNITED WE STAND, DIVIDED …………
I’M NOT A REAL POLITICAL ANIMAL, BUT HERE’S ONE THAT PISSES ME OFF
THE COUNTRY WAS BUILT ON POLITICAL DISCOURSE, FREEDOM OF SPEECH, AND THE RIGHT TO EXPRESS OUR VIEWS. IN SHORT, POLITICAL DEBATE AND DISAGREEMENT IS A GOOD THING. BUT WHAT ABOUT WHEN EVERY ISSUE BECOMES A PARTISIAN ISSUE, WHEN OTHERWISE AGREEABLE PEOPLE FIND THEMSELVES LINING UP ON OPPOSITE SIDES OF EVERY DEBATE, JUST TO SHOW A PARTY DIFFERNCE.

HAVE WE BECOME SO POLORIZED THAT WE CAN’T AGREE ON ANYTHING. MUST WE FIND OURSELFS ON OPPOSITE SIDES OF EVERY ISSUE? AND IF SO, IS THAT HEALTHY FOR OUR NATION. AFTER ALL ITS ONLY AN ISLE BETWEEN BOTH PARTIES IN CONGRESS, NOT A WALL. ARE THERE NOT WELL MEANING PEOPLE THAT LOVE OUR COUNTRY IN BOTH PARTIES. WHY WOULD SOME HAVE US DEMONIZE AND ISOLATE THEM.

THE DIVISION IS MOST EVIDENT IN THE LAST FEW PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS. THE COUNTRY IS CLEARLY POLORIZED, AND SPLIT DOWN THE MIDDEL. IT SEEMS EVERY ISSUE, BOTH DOMESTIC AND FOREIGN IS LIKE A WEDGE BETWEEN PARTIES. THEN DIFFERNECES ARE FURTHER FUELED BY PARTY LEADERS AND OVERSELOUS NEWS PEOPLE. IT’S EVEN DIFFICULT FOR US TO COME TOGETHER ON MATTER S OF NATIONAL SECURITY.
WE HAD BETTER SEND A CLEAR MESSAGE TO OUR LEADERS AND LEGISLATORS THAT WE ARE DONE WITH BUSINESS AS USUAL, WE ARE SICK OF PURELY PARTISIAN POLITICS, AND WE EXPECT ALL PARTIES TO WORK TOGETHER FOR WHAT IS BEST FOR THE COUTRY AND NOT THEIR SELF SERVING PERSONAL OR PARTY GOALS.
LASTLY, I DON’T KNOW OF ANYONE THAT LIKES OR WANTS WAR. BUT ONCE WE ARE INVOLVED, WE NEED TO SHOW SUPPORT FOR THE TROOPS AND CAREFULLY SELECT THE MESSAGES THAT WE AS A NATION SEND OUT TO OUR ENEMIES ABROAD. IF WE PROJECT WEAKNESS AND LACK OF UNITY, THEY WILL BE EMBOLDENED.

UNTIL LATTER
