“We’re gonna punish our enemies and we’re gonna reward our friends who stand with us on issues that are important to us.” - Barack Obama, October 25, 2010Now I know this has gotten some play in the media but let it be absorbed for a moment, the president thinks that people who disagree with him are enemies needing to be punished. I often discuss/debate issues with my friends, some of them disagree with me, I never consider them enemies, I don't want to see them punished. The goal I've always had was to make them see my point of view, being them around to my thinking or failing that understand their thinking so I can further refine my arguments.
Today is election day, time to vote to put things back on track. Every generation we walk up to the well of socialism, bring up the bucket and take a deep drink. After just months the public has recoiled from the ideas, and is vowing to put us back on course. A movement arose, drawing from history, called the "Tea party", a peaceful revolt as is the American nature, it has been maligned by many but that just seemed to fuel their resolution. We didn't like where we were in 2008 but the change made took us to a darker place, time for a correction.
Go vote.
