Plan For Freedom

[redcliffsw]

"We are no longer one nation or one people. Rather, there are now two Americas: one conservative, the other liberal. Increasingly, we no longer just disagree but we despise each other." In such an environment, freedom within a large union never remains. The consent of the governed becomes oppressed by those who do not share their values, beliefs and morals. The union is held together not from the voluntary bonds of likeness, similarity, loyalty and friendship, but from brute force.

   I read with interest peoples rants about "taking back their freedom" "reclaiming their morals" etc. etc. etc. It's ALways from the "EEVILLLLL" other side which is oppressing them and "taking their______________fill in the blank".

  Both sides of the political spectrum in this country disgust me. Both sides want nothing less than to force THEIR ideas of.....freedom....morals.....religion.....or lack thereof....etc etc etc on the other. Now forgive me if I'm stupid but what the hell is FREE about ANY of that?

  I have no more interest in being told how to think by hard "right" fundamental Christian rules than I have in being told how to think by hard "LEFT" liberal whatever.

   So where is the true freedom in ANY of this? There IS none. All there is is YOUR (as in whoever not anybody in particular) side on TOP oppressing the OTHER side.

  This is why I don't bother with politics anymore....I don't even watch the news but every couple of weeks other than local......because I have NO RESPECT for ANY of them......NONE of them have any HONOR. It is a BROKEN system and it is NOT going to be fixed by "voting republican in november".............give me a break.
