“Republican” US Senate Confirms Lawless Attorney General

Yawn!

No we love America. It’s demonstrated itself as the greatest country in the world. We’re inviting to immigrants, always dynamic and changing. We lift people out of poverty by allowing them the individual freedom to move ahead, get a good education, compete for good paying jobs, lead the world in innovation. We stand before the world as a beacon of good and what is right. When needed we are there for many, whether through responding to a disaster, protecting the innocent and weak, and at home, we seek to improve our society, help those in need, improve the lives of all. Social programs aside, ever notice that manufacturing thrives when there is a Democrat in the White House, and shrivels when it’s held by Republicans. We believe in strategic policies designed to expand the economy for everyone. And we’re tolerant of all views, even yours. We don’t call people dumb@$$, or claim they hate America. We’re inclusive, not exclusive, which you most certainly are. Look at the picture above. What has you most stirred up, that there’s a new AG, or that all three leaders in that picture are of different backgrounds and color.

I’m sorry you believe that. That’s very unfortunate, but untrue. FDR’s program of Social Security didn’t enslave anyone. Nor did Medicare, or Medicaid. Programs that helped the poor lifted more people into the middle class than it ever enslaved. Children are provided an objective education of reading, math, social studies, science and civics. There is no brain washing – unless your real complaint is that your specific world view is not taught as the foremost truth. American students are taught to think for themselves. My youngest is 10, and she’s never been taught America is evil. My middle one is 16 and National Honor society. Never been taught America is evil. We don’t advance peversion in any way, but that men and women are free to choose their own lifestyles based on who they are as individuals. (I’m guessing peversion to you is gays and lesbians – who have been around since before the time of Christ). We don’t condone the use of drugs, and abortion is a right of which a couple, or a woman, can chose. No one believes it’s a badge of honor, it scars the participant for life. But we don’t believe that restricting choices, or peoples rights, is a function of government. I feel sorry for you that you cannot see how far you have become from what the majority of Americans believe, and how disconnected you are from a young vibrant America. It’s very sad really. Your hatred, pumped up by the right-wing TP media you allow to brainwash your mind, is very depressing indeed. I can only think, what would someone like Ronald Reagan – the real Ronald Reagan / not the one in your mind – say about your views? I don’t think he would see that as the foundation for the shining city on the hill.

I’m a Christain as well, so I guess that ruins that theory. I didn’t give you my view on public schools, just a fact. No public school teaches kids that America is evil. No public school teaches students to hate America. Besides being wrong, it would be counter-productive. I really wish you could see how absolutely silly that argument is, but alas, I know you will cling to that view so long as Democrat is in the White House. I don’t hate anyone who disagrees with me, but let’s choose to disagree on policy, not making up half-baked untruths, and calling anyone who doesn’t view the world in your way as unpatriotic or hating America. That is, most clearly, a hateful and rhetoric filled methodology employed by people like McCarthy or, dare we say it, the Nazis of the 1930s. Your view is one of complete defensiveness. You’re defending a past way of life, or a historical mythical fantasy of America. You’re defending a long past dream or historical reality that no longer reflects who we are as a country and a people. You see, your view is that there are only winners and losers. What you cannot fathom is that someone who does not share your point of view can doing good for this country. You believe that yourself, and those who agree with you, have a monopoly on virtue and effectiveness. And that, as I said already, is very disheartening. You’re committed to trying to shape the future into your view of the past, when in fact, the future will drive what we do. Not the past.

The legalization of pot is a social trend, not a political party trend. It was legalized in Colorado, yet Colorado has tilted Red from Purple. Gay marriage is being accepted across the board, and across the parties, by Americans of all races, creeds and political affiliation. Again, you’re defensive in your stance. You’re trying to defend against change, but change is unstopable. You cannot accept that – so there must be somoene to blame so you blame a policital party. It’s the American people who support these changes – but you somehow cannot accept that – because to accept that means to accept that the American people don’t agree with you. Schools are local, yet, how do you explain that in Blue States, and Blue communities, the schools consistently outperform the others. We’re not trying to destroy schools. Heck, we strive to constantly make them better. And BTW, that is exactly what GWB did. I didn’t agree with him on a lot of things, but his efforts under No Child Left Behind, and Jeb’s efforts in Florida, were to improve education. Not destroy it. Again, you own defensiveness in your views precludes you from having an honest debate on ideas. You see it all as black and white. It’s not.

What would you know about college? You couldn’t even get into a community college.
