Coming Together As Americans...

By
Services for Real Estate Pros with Complete Property Maintenance

As hurricane Gustav barrels down and is fixin' to release all sorts of havoc on the city of New Orleans, why is it that the political parties in this country can't come together as Americans and help our fellow Americans? Are we as a Nation so politically divided that we cannot work together for the good of all? Is one side of the aisle so afraid that the other side might get a "leg up" or get credit for doing something that the other side ain't? 

Now I know that these are rhetorical questions an' all, but just stop and think about it... Both sides are touting "It's time for a change." I feel that it is time to have a change of heart and attitude towards one another politically and stop all this namsy-pamsy tit-for-tat crap! OUR fellow Americans are in need of help. It's time to roll up our sleeves and pitch in. How much more can WE as a NATION accomplish, if we just work together and forget our differences. After all, the last time I looked this country was still called the UNITED States...

Just my 2 cents worth...

Russel, You are so right, I remember that when I was growing up too. Things have really changed haven't they...

Bubba - I agree with you sentiment exactly. It is a time to get together, not to use events as a political wedge.

As for the religious right, when Katrina happenned they were some of the first responders, I know many churches from KY and here that still have teams going to New Orleans, Mississippi, etc and helping in the rebuilding. Yes, they may be anti-abortion and anti-gay marriage but they certainly didn't ask questions when handing out food, water, offerring shelter, etc.

Did I just take that 2cents back?

You go Bubba.  I absolutly think that we need to start thinking about what is best for the people of the country rather than special interests groups.  We also need to help people to help themselves.  We give away too much without empowering people.  Good post from a good ole boy!

Bubba...

I think Americans are always ready to help each other. It's only the politicians that seek leverage.

It's certainly time for all Americans to give a huge group hug.

Bubba... son, what the devil have you been up to? 

I gotta tell you... we could get a lot done if we could send a good many of them blasted politicians back home and put some good folks in charge.  You ready to give ol Lamar a run for his money?
