Waging War or Working Together

                     This is what I think we need to do. This nation must find common ground and not focus on what someone in the media has to say, but focus on what it is going to take to repair our nation. No arguing, no political right or wrong. All the politicians need to make a list of the issues, then refine that list to issues everyone can agree on. If there are issues on the list that we disagree on , remove that issue. At that point we can work on only things that we all agree are urgent. There will be nothing to argue about or lay blame on someone for. Then expand from there over time once we get used to working together again. I know there will be debate on how to solve problems but at least we can be working to solve problems that all agree exist.
                 When a country wages political warfare, which is exactly what's going on here and now, everyone loses. The sad part of it is that our children are going to pay the price for our arrogance. This nation is just a fraction of the age of this earth. Many great nations have risen and fallen before us, and the main cause is greed and division. This nation has a system of checks and balances to keep things straight so long as everyone abides by the rules and common courtesy. During this administration something has happened that is not right. There have been variations of voting policy that have not happened before in congress. One party took a stance against another just so they could see this administration fail at whatever the cost.
                 Too much attention has been focused on lies spun by entertainment figures, most of whom have been addicted to either drugs or alcohol. Their interpretation of the truth is nothing more than a ploy to destroy any administration that is not controlled by the Republicans. In doing what they have done as far as their voting positions go they have restricted poilicy that would have helped this country. They stripped down the recovery package eliminating some very important features.
                 They voted a unanimous "no" on basically every issue brought before them. By doing what they did they assumed control anyhow. You have your party to thank for that one. Then they have the audacity to claim that our president has done nothing since becoming our leader. If the democrats had ever done what they have, they would have been tried for treason! I only mention these things because it is the truth, and to drive home my point about the need to work together. It's kinda like an old line from a commercial from years past, "you can pay me now or pay me later".
                 We can wage war with each other and surely fail, or we can try working together. It's our only hope at this point in time. I pray all of our leaders get their heads out of their nether regions and recognize this simple fact!
