The Real Threat To America
Under democracy one party always devotes its chief energies to trying to prove that the other party is unfit to rule – and both commonly succeed, and are right. ~H.L. Mencken, 1956
Working Together For A Better America
300 million people in the U.S. and most people are completely lost as to what the Real Threat to America is. You talk to a Democrat they will say Republicans, You talk to a Republican and they will say Democrat, You ask a Libertarian and they will laugh and say both even though they typically drink from the same cup of tea as Republicans. The Real threat to America is distrust of other Americans. Republican don’t trust Democrat, and Democrats don’t trust Republicans. The problem with this is the answer to our problem isn’t going to be solved by only Republican or only Democrats.
Take Health Care the hot button issue of the hour, which everyone knows about unless you have been living under a rock. While most intelligent people agree that our Health Care system is broken. We disagree with how to fix it. Democrats want to fine people that don’t have insurance, which I disagree with it. Republican haven’t really brought any solutions but you have to be blind, deaf and dumb to not know what their issue is, the Evils of Socialism! I admire Obama’s almost naive optimism that the Town Hall meetings would go well, and people would some how stop reading crazy uncle benny’s health care socialism, death panel emails! Then there was Glenn Beck who despite his own negative experiences and small crusade against the horrible health care system that wouldn’t give the president of GE good care, all off sudden changes his tune once he arrives at the Fair and Balanced folks at Fox. I think no one sums up and exposes Glenn Beck’s hypocrisy like comedian Jon Stewart.

People trust what Glenn Beck says, but my question is why? Does he really care about people or their health care? He changed his tune just a few month after going from the almost unwatched Headline News to the blatantly conservative high ratings Fox News. Instantly becomes one of their most flamboyant and charismatic news hosts. A great career move, he has made millions from his sweet heart deal with fox and all the books he has pedaled. Why should he care about your health care, when he has millions to make sure his family is taken care of.
Why would anyone at fox risk their job by giving people the facts about health care? Has Anyone on Fox even read the latest American Journal of Public Health report on our nations health care? The one that said 45,000 adults die every year due to health care or lack there of, that is one ever 12 MINUTES! But information like this gets lost in the static of Death Panel talks, and Government funded Health care scares, talk of Socialism and Nazi regime.
People act like the 45,000 people dying a year only affect the opposite party or the poor lazy people. Why would someone wait till their family member is being denied health care before they did something? By that time, it is too late. Imagine the horror some people are going to feel when they realize they fought the thing that might have saved their loved ones life? Are you going to care then about your political party? Will Glenn Beck or any other Anti-health Care Reform person be there to give you the money for the operation that Aetna is denying payment on? We know the answer to that question.
So What Is The Real Threat to America? In short, It is Americans, and to be more specific Americans that are so loyal to either major political party that they are willing to campaign against their own interest. Republican’s need to stop only bringing criticism and lies with the intent to sinking health care reform, and come to the table with alternatives. American’s need to DEMAND cooperation, that doesn’t mean the Democrats or Republicans get their way. It means we find some common ground, put our thinking caps on… and solve the problem. Fighting and Tearing down the other side doesn’t make America stronger, it only weakens the foundation that our society sets on.
So with the first blog of hopefully many, I call on people to demand Republican and Democrates work together for a better AMERICA!

[...] It has been a rough start so far this year. I was trying to get my other blog Blazingmonk.com up and made this blog crash for two days. Well, it didn’t really crash, I actually deleted the database! So I had to call my server and have them recover my database from the back up. So I am back up and running and have got my other blog started! I have been trying to keep my politics seperate from my personal interests. I am not the type of person that forces people to listen to me or my passionate rants about my frustrations and politcal opinnions. So this last month, I have been working on seperating it. So people that enjoy and want to engage with me can and those that don’t aren’t forced. So Blazingmonk.com is born! I wrote my first blog about, “The Real Threat to America”. [...]
