A JADED POLITICAL OPINION!
I always laugh when I think back to Bill Clinton’s statement about the cabinet he would form. “It will look a lot like America,” he stated. Of course his definition of how America looked was that we were all millionaires who went to an eastern liberal elitist institutions. It represents the arrogance of “The best and the brightest.” “We will decide what is best for the masses who are not as smart or as well educated as we.”
Is that attitude any different from the extreme “Religious Right” who would like to legislate other people’s morals? I don’t think so. While I personally do not support abortion, I do not think it is a political issue. It is a moral issue that will be decided in heaven. The protesters yell that abortion kills babies, but the anti- abortion people kill doctors. How does that square with the Lord?
Extreme partisanship is killing America. The right and left all rail against the centrist, but at the center is compromise. A balanced view, giving and taking and getting to the best solution possible for the Americn people and the times. America needs come first, not extreme ideologies. The politics of "gotcha" is why nothing gets done, unfortunately it will probably continue, as we keep sending the same ego driven jerks to Congress. Public servants, my ass.
There is really little difference between the left and the right. It is a full circle.
Have a nice day!
