First off let me say that I extend this olive branch to you as a sign of respect. You say that you are a veteran and if it is true then Sir I salute you. You said you fought in the Battle of the Bulge and all I can say, is it true what they say about General Patton? Look we both love this country very much. We both are scared about what is taking place at the moment but instead of name calling which I admit I am guilty of let us all work together to solve them as Americans. What is happening now is a continuance of the 2000 election and what took place down in Florida. Instead of the people deciding who got elected it fell to 9 individuals who don't answer to the people at all for anything and they decided who would be president of the United States. For the first time in this nations history the people didn't decide who would be our President. I have nothing good to say about president Bush nor do I have anything good to say about president Obama except this. Both of these men have balls for standing up to such scrutiny on a daily basis from the likes of all of us here in this country. It's easy to cast stones at someone we don't like but its another to step up to the plate and walk in their shoes. We can arm chair quarterback all we want but I don't think any of us have what it takes to be the president of the united states because of the burden that comes with the office. We can call our president an idiot, communist, *****, socialist etc. They can take it. Its part of the package that comes along with being the POTUS. What I will say is that unless we all figure out what to do about our country and stop trying to go at each others throats then we all lose. The Democrats and the Republicans have had control for far too long and its time for us as Americans to take back our country from the both of them. Its time Liberals and Conservatives to realize that what they are doing by dividing us is only making the enemies of this country stronger. We shall not parish from the face of the earth like Abraham Lincolns aid at Gettysburg but if we don't do something and something quick we will fail like the Romans did back in the day and it will be the people who destroy this country and not the politicians.
