Are we a Nation of Bickerers and Bad-mouthers?
February 7th, 2010 | 
Author: No we are not. It’s only an angry and vocal few plus Washington politicians conducting business as usual. We have a nation with an economy at risk and where our national security is a constant concern. We need our leaders and wanna-be leaders to put aside their campaigning for another year or so and just plain address themselves to the problems we all face. If some in Washington have “got it made” and feel exempt from the problems of everyday Americans, they ought to look at the issues facing our nation through the eyes of their grandchildren and get on with creating a legacy of positive action to rebuild our national confidence and pride.
You know me, I usually write upbeat blog messages. Well, I’m a little ticked off at those who spend their time trying to figure out how to embarrass their political opponents and block any progress whatsoever. It’s time for the United States—not the Divided States of America.

Brenda, it does seem that politics reveals another side of human character that is not consistent with what we would hope (and profess)is the best of who we are.
Thanks for your comments, Sherri. It does seem our nation is bogged down with petty politics and now Washington is buried in snow. Perhaps this will give folks a time to “cool off” and think about what to do when the snow melts and the cherry blossoms come. Perhaps the sun will shine again.
You hit the nail on the head with this one. Thank you for saying what so many are feeling. But how do you take the blinders off others so they can begin to see the light?
What troubles & confuses me is why most Republicans are white Christians & yet they are so very judgmental toward others who are not like them. Being judgmental is not what true Christianity is all about. How do these attitudes mix?
