Are we not all Americans?
It is the how that the most passionate disagreements come about. Not about the what. When it comes to politics Americans want most of same things. Americans want a safe place to raise a family, enjoy the land around us, and love freely. Americans want to pass on a better life to their children than they received. Americans want to feel safe. Americans want to help our neighbors. Americans want to be respected in what they are. These things are help by one group of people or another. Although we sometimes think they are and our side is the good side.
Many of us have friends that have points of views that differ from us. the politics of today are divisive in that the leaders need to demean the opponents in order to gain for themselves. That is today’s politics! It is not good to talk about what you are going to do as it is to talk about what your opponent is going to do wrong. That is the easy way out.
Now lets talk some of today’s political leaders. The honorable George W. Bush, President of the United States of American. President Bush has had some very specific ideals and direction that he talked about when he was first elected. Has he stayed the course? That depends on how you want to think of him. How about the Chairman of the Democratic National Committee former Governor Howard Dean. You might like him or dislike him based on what party you subscribe to. You might believe one way or another depending on who you listen to.
This has and is a divisive time in America. It is that way because of easy way to compete is to degrade the competition and we really need more ideas on direction that people can chose from. We all want to get to the same place. We want leaders that have a thought on how to get there. Then we want to evaluate the direction and make choice on how we think it should work. that is the system of politics that was defined in America. The problem is Americans always got into the middle of it. We will always mess it up a little. But with the fact that it is in constant change we are not able to mess it up beyond repair.
What about Race in America? There seems to be a lot of divisiveness based on race. With the Military background I don’t see race as an issue. Mostly because I feel more for Americans (used a lot in this post) than I do for any other nationality. It is really a great country that allows you to become equal to anyone else no mater what your ancestry is. Heck we will even find ways to celebrate your heritage.
God bless America, and may we start to look at what makes us similar and celebrate our differences. We have differences, but they are not as far as the politicos would have you think.
Are we not Americans? Are we not Brothers? Are we not able to talk about what we agree about? Lets be clear here. I want to hear how we could be better, but I am tired of hearing how we are wrong. Please offer me a solution not just some hot air.
What is so different between Democrats and Republicans?
