The Neocons are intelligent, principled men. They love their country and are willing to do anything to preserve it. Unfortunately, that country is Israel. The fiscal conservatives just want to be allowed to make money as they see fit, with no interference from government. They are. They have. The rest of us are broke and deeply in debt. Those interested in a strong national defense have seen the military battered and broken in an inexplicable, unilateral war, won in a week, unfinished in five years. It will be a long time before the military is rebuilt. The money, the men and the honor necessary are gone. Those who think Jesus is the answer to our problems in this country, aren't listening to the questions the people are asking. The question is and has always been, how do we all live here together, with mutual respect, regardless of creed, color or religion?
People are saying a political sea change is coming in this country. That may be but it's not coming now and it's not the kind of change anyone is expecting. Now, the country is deeply divided. Each side convinced of the righteousness of it's cause. It's complicated. There are many sides, each with a cause. A sea change is coming but not until the enmity has resolved itself. It will resolve itself and the country will move on united. Unless the country tears itself apart.
A lot of people are going to be looking for their fifteen minutes of fame, at nine hundred rounds a minute. I'm just going to take a walk on the beach. Smile, wave and say hello to the people I meet.
