Seems like someone has pulled the "wool over the taxpayer's eyes", because we've let ourselves become completely distracted from the point. So-called "Liberals" complain about this - So-called "Conservatives" complain about that (see my blog post "Screw Liberals AND Conservatives).

It's all just a Big Distraction from the Root Case of our PROBLEMS - Really!

Because the American people have become so divided on the effects of our country's troubles (instead of the causes), we've almost lost sight of the freedom our American Founding Fathers envisioned and fought for.

"United we stand, divided we fall". ~ Aesop, Greek slave & fable author - (620 BC - 560 BC)

Here's the bottom line: Regardless of how you "feel" about common political or social issues, at the end of the day, you are an American. As an American, you are not only afforded certain liberties and freedoms by the Amended US Constitution, but you also have a civic duty to uphold it. If you are introducing or supporting concepts outside the scope of the Amended US Constitution, you are not only working against our Founding Father's core concepts freedom, but you are directly infringing on someone's rights to "Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness".
