Cap-That's what "they" (the progressives/liberals) want...for you to bury your
head in the sand and disengauge..I assure the people who want to drive our
country into the ground are not going to disengauge or give up...
DOJ Gave Millions to Illegal Immigrant 'Sanctuaries,' Report Finds - FoxNews.com
I'm just tired of all the daily bickering and hearing about it. We are paying our represenatives to go to Washington to do the will of the people... Message number one was sent, message two will be to the judges legislating from the bench. I think what I am most frustrated with is guys like Harry Reid that says even after the drastic changes last week that he is ready to fight. I don't know that I want any of our politicians to fight, I don't want the leadership to fight and I don't want us to fight. At some point you have to stop, rethink what is going on and just start dealing with the problems from a much closer vantage point.
If SanFran wants to ban happy meals and the people there are okay with it GREAT! If other places in the country want to have Sharia law in their state GREAT! If citizens want to have legalized marijuana or same sex marriages GREAT! I am going to focus on my community and get back to what I know, what I believe and do it in a place that I have the ability to force change.
It's just too much for people to see all the problems all over our country, too many whacko's too many people that want to change the country and allow the anything from anyone anytime mentality... I plan on trying to keep my house, community and state in order.. If I am called upon to vote nationally I will but me throwing my two cents in over something that is happening in a municipality in another state is over.
I'm sure there are some great people in all of our states but we never see the good stories in the media, the pedophiles, killers, crazy wild thinking politicians (in both parties), the deaths and negative things are what media is all about these days.. The best way for me to make those stories go away is to stop looking at them. I think that we all can become so consumed with the negative that we lose track of the vast goodness in our country. We only see the worst political arguments and never see the good stuff that happens day to day. I want to hear the good stuff, kids that make a difference, the soldier that comes home to a thankful country, the retired couple that wins the lottery. I think that I have just been fed up with negative stuff over the past year.... I don't want to bury my head but if I can't effect change then why even discuss it?
I think we all get too caught up in the us and them political game. I don't think there is a single democrat ou there that wants anything bad to come to our country but we demonize each other on a day to day basis. Sometimes the rhetoric becomes the problem and nothing will ever get done because of pride and arrogance. We as US citizens need to wake up, stop being so darn lazy and step back and ask every day what we can do to make the USA better. As we answer the questions of the day we should ask ourselves if the decision we make is for the betterment of our country or to get what we want.
I think I have just chosen to make an extra effort to ask myself those very things... We have to work together to make this a better place, we have to lean on each other and stop knocking the other guy down because he doesn't agree. We have become so opposed to things in the name of freedom that we are willing to do whatever it takes to get our way..... What ever happenned to common sense, helping the other guy and sacrifice?
I choose not to fight but to try and resolve differences with common sense and diplomacy, something our leaders need to understand.
It all starts at home!

the only time we'll come out from behind the gate is to ride at warp-speed so we don't have to interact with anyone else
