Excellent post Tom !!
Politics has always gotten people mad, and always will... But folks in this country are complacent, comfortable, and lazy. 50% + will not even register to vote. That is sickening and disturbing to me as a veteran. That is one problem, and another is for the folks that vote, to keep electing the "career-politicians > elected-for-life > what's-in-it-for-me > losers".......over and over again ( Example : Arlen Specter was on the Warren Commission coverup )...and lastly, our country has an unfunded liability ( this means money for Medicare, Social Security, pensions, and more ) that it has promised to pay us, its citizens, of between $ 60 - $80 TRILLION DOLLARS, not to mention a huge national debt and budget deficits each year, funded by U.S. treasury bills owned by foreign countries ( Communist China et al. )
These are the subjects that political activists need to focus on, and it doesn't have to be with foul or vulgar language, or this "US vs THEM" two-party mantra that obscures what is really going on.
I would very much welcome calm, reasoned political discourse here.
