What happened To The Concept of The Loyal Opposition?
We as a Nation in America have lost our minds, souls and hearts. Wait, that's totally false! Ignorant, useful idiots, who do not read, do not think and are lazy of mind have allowed themselves to be bought and manipulated by evil
Our great Nation has warts and evils in our history. In this we are not alone. When one begins to change history, we loose the lessons paid for in blood and suffering. We need to get back to basics. So here is my suggestion list...
#1 No individual may have a position until they are self employed for a least 1 year
#2 If you have children, educate them yourself. Use the Schools to help, but the job of building solid Citizens begins at home
#3Take Grand Parents back into our homes. Multi generational homes build wealth and character, oh and don't forget the Love
#4 Read The Declaration of Independence and The Preamble to The Constitution out loud. If the words do not stir your soul you are dead inside
#5 Listen to MLK's "I Have A Dream Speech". You will become a better human being.
#6 Learn the art of argument and debate. We all just might learn something
#7 If your Faith demands someone outside of your "Flock" must suffer, reevaluate your morals and values
#8 Practice random Acts of Kindness, do it for your Mother
#9 Turn off The Television Set. Go outside, smell the air, look at trees, watch the birds.
#10 Thank The Great Creator of All that you have been given this painfully fabulous life. Do something positive with it.
Last but not least. Open your heart . Love someone. Be better than you think you can be.
Then Hopefully one day, People of differing opinions will again be seen as the Loyal opposition, rather than an enemy.
Thank you for allowing time for my rant.
Words of wisdom, wouldn't it be great if all of North America and the World could live by these words...............billytwohearts

As I read your words all I could do was sit back and smile.
YES to #3- mutli-generational homes. 100% stand behind that one.
YES #6- WHat ever happened to debate club? When I was in high school we had it. We learned to LISTEN to others, friendly argue it and then state our viewpoint
YES and DOUBLE YES #10- thank our Lord for every day we have, Appreciate and do for others.
Generations now are so self-absorbed they can't see past their own noses. Consumerism at its worst. Gimme, gimme, gimme... and give nothing in return.
YES #7- harming others in not in any way, shape or form morally acceptable

STOPWell said, unfortunately it is going to get much worse before it gets better. We each need to do our part and make our little circle better, then hopefully that circle will expand.
#9.2 Turn off your computer and talk to your wife/husband and children. Not just "How was your day", "OK" but hold a real conversations.
#9.3 Turn off your computer and television and go talk to your neighbor. It's a disgrace that so many people don't even know their neighbors name.
Well said...
