After reading all the mean and snotty posts on my beloved showgsd list this morning, I got this one from another list. I never thought the writer was this bright....but she's right on the money. Peggy "With apologies to our friends around the world. This is what happens when a government becomes so one sided and unbalanced. Historically when conservatives were in power long enough a government of the people, by the people and for the people turned into a government for a few of the people and abuses of power were legion. Now, the liberals are in power and it is fast becoming a government of the highest level of socialism, constitutional law be damned and abuses of power are legion. We are in serious trouble here, and if there aren't some moderate, balanced leaders elected to office soon, we won't have a prayer. I grew up in a time when racism, sexism, homophobia, elitism and money=power were the norm, accepted by a generation who came home from a war to rebuild their lives. I belong to a generation that refused to accept those inequities and worked to change them. Now, when we should have the best of all worlds, the realization of the dreams of Martin Luther King, the vision of JFK and Bobby Kennedy, the statesmanship of Reagan, we have extremism, hatred, greed and division instead. The brief unification of the tragedy of September 11th has now turned into more divisiveness. This is indeed a very sad day, when we can't at least say that we have come a long way since 2001. On that day, I knew that life as we knew it had changed forever, and very shortly realized that the terrorists plan was ingenious in that they wanted to destroy our economy and our confidence. It appears they are very close to complete success. " ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2009.
