American Politics - The Bickering Bickersons

Gosh, honestly I don’t know where to start…but I guess Newt Gingrich is the appropriate person. So there are just a couple points I need to make in regards to the most recent Republican conference. You can’t charge the president of failing after only five months in office, especially when President Obama has done more than most presidents have in their full term, not to mention how badly President Bush screwed up this country and Obama needs to fix it. There said!

Honestly folks; Gingrich is a politician who aspires to be president himself one day. Everything that comes out of his mouth is hogwash and propaganda to sell us his shtick. Many of these politicians and media personalities care very little for you and I. They care for their careers. Let’s not be naïve.

But the most mind boggling thing that came out of Gingrich’s mouth was the fact that he does not believe, nor want America to be a “global” nation. Oh the horrors, America learning to get along with our neighbors. Oh, the terror of Obama trying to find peace with terrorists. God forbid us interjecting understanding and “Empathy” into our foreign policy. Some are tossing around the word “Empathy” like it is “Socialism.” When did empathy become a negative human trait, but then we are still promoting greed like it is the stairway to heaven. Can our priorities be any more messed up?

As Gingrich and republicans want to not only maintain the status quo, they are leading us backwards into a time of darkness. See this video below and watch why it is impossible we cannot be a global nation. If we follow Gingrich’s advice, not only will we not be a global nation, we will join the rank of 3rd world nations.



The world is changing, technologies are rapidly expanding we can either get on board, or stay behind. But know this, if we stay behind and wallow in what “used to be” other nations will become global powers and the United States will become a washed up has been. We are great risk of falling deeper behind if we do not stop this bickering and unite for the common good. United we move forward, divided we fall. That is our choice. I vote for unity.
