Thats a pretty sad perspective that you have and while much of what you say exists it is only a small part of a much bigger picture. Our country has been evolving since its inception... We are constantly fixing things and dealing with new problems. We created slaves and the eradicated them. We didn't give women equal rights and then we fix that... From the days of the wild west to passing civil rights in the 60's... We have just recently accepted the rights of LGBT individuals and are starting to treat them like humans... And during all this time we have put a man on the moon, built the most powerful army in the world, stood as a pillar for opportunity and fairness, created the largest technological advancement in human history with the computer, internet, medical advancements... we provide aid to those who suffer around the world... I can go on all day...You gotta get out of your bubble man. Users on this board do not represent normal Americans and neither do people in the media. Go out in your community and interact with real people. Our nation is doing just fine.What does it say that about how radicalized and unhinged the left side of the political spectrum has become that they now consider those of us who believe in liberty, a small, limited government, and the rule of law just like these revered men, to be "extremists"?
True constitutional conservatives (the Tea Party, the Constitution Party, etc.) simply want the U.S. Constitution upheld. Nothing less. Nothing more.P@triot is living in a bubble?!....I think not!You gotta get out of your bubble man. Users on this board do not represent normal Americans and neither do people in the media.
Though, I don't see the problems we are facing
as liberal, conservative, Democrat or Republican.
The blame first lies with the complacency
and ignorance of the people, which created
a generation of enablers and a government
which has grown corrupt, unmanageable
and been allowed to stray from what and how it should govern...
all which has contributed to the upcoming generation
who will be the future leadership and those yet to come.
This doesn't have to do with parties, it has to do with people.
Ideology, passions, perversions, greed and priorities
A government that has been governing passions
and ideology by perverting the Constitution
through blatant reinterpretations which have clearly
weakened the present and will only further decay the future.
A government which has governed by greed, unchallenged,
forsaking the priorities of our country and the people!
You say members here are not normal Americans
Well, abnormal is the new normal, sad to say
You and millions like you are living in a bubble darling!Go out in your community and interact with real people. Our nation is doing just fine.
Our Nation is NOT doing fine and nothing about it is normal!
You have to be able to recognize and appreciate these amazing accomplishments that our nation has achieved and the hard work that millions of people do every day to further the greatness of our country.
We have our problems as well. You pointed some of them out. Corruption from those in power, a culture of consumers vs producers, a lack of discipline and respect in our civil discourse, poverty, crime and violence etc etc etc. There are plenty of things that need to be fixed and our ability to do so through the voice of our collective representatives is what is beautiful about America... Yes we can do better, we must do better, as long as we strive to do better we are doing exactly what we are supposed to do... Thats what makes us great...
Now please help me get off this soapbox, i don't want to twist my ankle.
