What are really our choices?

The murder of Doctor George Tiller on Sunday at his Wichita church while attending service is an indication that we are lacking the civility of being able to agree to disagree. Since the Supreme Court ruling on the election on President George W. Bush this country has been hijacked by the extremist on both sides of the right and the left.

The majority of Americans are more or less independent and just wants to have a good job that will provide them with the stability of an income, health benefits, 401k investment opportunities, plus the ability to be able to invest for their retirement or college funds for their children

You have about 10% to the right and 10% to the left who control the countries agenda because of the lobbying and special interests groups that pours all the money in Washington D.C. The national media is also influenced by these groups and that’s why we have a media that’s very bias to the left, cable networks who don’t report news anymore but are open driven and depending who you listen to tells us what your political affiliation or ideology. Once President Obama was elected the left was determined to undermine whatever President Bush passed and try to reverse it. But sometimes it’s not about ideology or party affiliation that should matter but what’s best for the country.

The fact that the CIA tortures its prisoners shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone, yet a lot of people are going around screaming that we’re a nation of laws or morals. Yet we allow illegal immigrants to come to the country and we call it humanity. They are illegal immigrants because they have broken the laws of immigration and there are ways to correct this situation. China tortures its citizens and we continue to buy their products, China has one of the strictest immigration laws yet during the Olympics we looked the other way because we look at the 1.5 billions customers we have. Most Americans don’t care whether you’re gay or not but don’t try to mandate that I believe in your sexual orientation. Polygamists don’t try to mandate that we believe in what they believe in or swingers do their thing down low.

When someone goes on a shooting rampage it’s doesn’t mean that the gun is the problem it means that you have a person who made a choice to kill. Regulating guns will never solve the problem because a bad person who wants to do evil has ways of obtaining a gun. When we take the drug situation seriously in this country then we can worry about gun control which means never. Our country is going through the worst economic, spiritual, structural crisis in a long time and the only way to come out of it is by working together. While we gripe at each other on whose ideology is right or who’s a racist on comments they made in the past; China is trying to restructure the economic world, India is for once a country not divided as in the past since their congressional election

This country was built on divisions, adversity, fear but the one thing it had was true leaders whatever their agenda or ideology they believed in the well being of the country. When the Democratic party in Texas blocks the voters ID bill because they think it’s not fair but are worried that they may loose about a thousand vote in each county you realize that it’s not about the county, state, or country that they worry about but just their own interest. So what are our choices but to become cynical or indifferent and we wonder why there’s such a low turnout at elections around this country for important votes.
