re-united states of america

  ok, im going to keep as much political bullshit out of this. im planning on keeping this patriotic and not political. of course like all diseases, im sure it will sneak in more than i intend for it too. but i hope to keep it in check.

   but my thoughts are varying. one minute i am one of the most patriotic people around. i am very proud of my country. the people, and the lifestyle. however i am not a believer in this government. the government is NOT by the people, of the people, and for the people anymore. it is all about the alphabet agencies, and the all mighty dollar. the constitution has been all but omitted from the government. when at the beginning the government WAS the constitution. and that is a bastardization of this country and its people. 

and the division that i am speaking of is really disheartening. its a shame that we are all called americans. yet at he same time, the way things are, a persons deep held beliefs are no longer topics for discussion and idea transfer. they are now reasons for one lunatic to kill their american brother or sister. that is truly sad. something as insignificant as one persons beliefs-something they BELIEVE- is a reason to kill a person???? thats not in any way american. back in the day for a democrat to call a republican, "a republican" it was really just a statement of fact. however now its a verbal attack. or an insult. i remember when people with opposing thoughts could get together and discuss their points. its a cray thing called conversation, or discussion. those days are gone. because for whatever reason simply believing in a certain side of the spectrum makes you literally enemies with the opposing side. the days of cordial, or even heated discussions are over. its now damn near war. and its ridiculous. theres nothing wrong with holding different views and beliefs, but its not a reason to dehumanize and hate your bretheren.

 we need to actually work together. if you recall the colloquialism back in the 9/11 days "united we stand, divided we fall" do you assholes not remember that? the whole damn country was barfing out things like that. yet now just 19 years later we are totally and completely divided. and i think its divided to the point of no repair, i hope like hell it can be repaired. but some of what ive seen, im not  very optimistic. and there was only ONE other time that our country was this divided. and  it was in the mid 1800s. lets please not go back down that road. theres much better things to do. LIKE FIX OUR GOVERNMENT. bot sides of the government the red side and the blue side.  quit being hardasses and work together to get shit done.
