I think we can be too arrogant about ourselves and our country. we should try to love the things we like or can accept and try to change the things we want to change.<BR/><BR/>I still think there are major differences between the left and the right, such as abortion, gun control, gay rights. There are areas where the two are coming together or trying to make some progress. And I do like the term progressive better than left or right. I think the danger lies more in the far fringes of both.shawn (aka blogstud)https://www.blogger.com/profile/01253182945278897428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23768728.post-36599812412438498092007-06-10T18:53:00.000-04:002007-06-10T18:53:00.000-04:00First we have to put America above our political p...First we have to put America above our political parties.<BR/><BR/>Politics is the engine of the government, but to many politicians are backing their party instead of their country, or even worse selling themselves to a special interest.<BR/><BR/>Progress for America is being stunted, while politicians fight for power, control, and enriching themselves.<BR/><BR/>The hate politics of neocons using fear to prop up a bogus war, or the leftists that call Bush a Hitler; all should be discarded by the American people for what they are, fear mongers trying to divide Americans.<BR/><BR/>A true leader does not embrace the ideology of one party, but what's best for all America. When such a person comes along, maybe we can restart the forward progress of America. I don't see anyone with that attitude, or character, running for President.<BR/><BR/>Americans themselves have to change. America is not about forcing people to live under laws that a minority believe in, it's about finding political compromise and enacting laws that ALL can FAIRLY live under.<BR/><BR/>To take good ideas from ALL sides and create a new direction, should be as American as apple pie. Our success in business and government has been based on accepting diverse ideas, not an ideological mind set.Timehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09474837430855732529noreply@blogger.com
