Liberals...

I think that a lot of the acrimony between Conservatives and Liberals is due to miscommunication. There are truly very few people out there who believe the farthest extremes of either viewpoint. Barak Obama was the only one to argue in favor of leaving aborted babies who managed to live through the abortion process to die. Everyone else, even the most liberal, agreed that it was horrifying. (President Obama thought it was too much of a burden on the doctor, and that if a woman went in to abort a baby, then that service had to be provided) I don't hear a lot of loony Right-wing views, but I know they're out there too. Most of us are somewhere in the middle, albiet farther to the right (social order) or to the left (individual freedom).. I read somewhere that you have the right to swing your fist, but that right ends at my nose. Makes sense to me.. Obviously, I fall to the right, but I believe that 90% of those who fall to the left agree with that statement too. Some believe more in peace than war, and our overseas conflicts are a big divider here in our own land as well... But after 9-11, it seemed that we were pretty united behind a desire to go and kick some terrorist rear. There weren't any namby pamby words like 'man-made-disaster', it was TERRORISM, and we weren't going to stand for it! Right, left, middle, whatever- no one wanted another 9-11, and if war was what it took, then war is what we had. As time went on, and people became disillusioned, and Iraq got messy, it changed- but in the beginning, almost everyone (except wackos like Ward Chamberlain) agreed that we had to fight back.
The point of all this is - we're all going to be the victims here, if Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, and Barak Obama succeed in re-making America into their vision of Utopia. There are Tea Parties all over the place, people are starting to get really upset (especially in those little burgs where people 'cling to their guns and their religion'). We all know that no matter what President Obama does, there is no way he will be impeached.. could we end up with civil war? violent protests? Martial Law (imposed for the sake of the safety of the citizens, continued to keep order, and protect the ever-growing government) is next...
We are really heading down a scary path. Our economy is heading for some scary places. Once Inflation hits, I wonder if they'll continue to try and spend their way out. Maybe if they print another trillion dollars, the dollar will be worth more. Or not.
The point of all this gloom and doom is to remind everyone- we are ALL Americans before we are liberal or conservative. We have to remember to try and find ways to preserve America, and not ignore what's happening to our country as the constitution is stepped on by the government in power at every opportunity.
Good luck to us all...
