Black - we have enough "one topic" posters here already, trying to point a finger to a favorite target on almost any subject, and you will lose all credibility as a poster quick.
Not saying you do this...just saying I hope you don't start...even if you were correct (which is another topic altogether) two wrongs don't make a right.

I appreciate your analysis my brother .. but I come here to express my thoughts about America and the course we are on. If you've noticed, I criticize the democrats as much as I criticize republicans.

That being said, the major responsibility for where we are today belongs with the person sitting in the White House and those who have supported his braindead policies.

In my opinion, America is way past due to take a long look in the mirror. Our policies and priorities, foreign and domestic, needs serious introspective. I also understand that far too many Americans do not welcome looking in the mirror, so I have no illusions about being popular.

The good news is that there are quite a few .. and growing .. number of Americans, here on this site, and throughout this nation who believe as I do. I like it here.

It is my opinion that it is time that we grow up as a nation and divest ourselves of Hollywood notions of what America is supposed to be about.

As I've said before, Thomas Jefferson would be considered "unamerican" and "unpatriotic" by many today .. some of them are right here on this site. I am unmoved by popularity or what someone thinks of what I have to say. I support everything I say with facts, documentation, and common sense.

I'm open to listening to any perspective .. other than America is always right and criticism of my own coutry is unamerican.

Appreciate your thoughts.
