I will admit, however, to having a secret fantasy that our Congress operates more like the British Parliament. There, people heckle and are forced to think on the fly as they respond to criticism. I think it's a much better way to argue legislation than standing up there and reading a prepared speech from your staffer. As for the rudeness?

The unity and joint spirit lasted such a short time before we began allowing and almost welcoming the attacks on ourselves. The thought that crossed my mind at one point yesterday was that the terrorists had, in a sense, won...because our country is so busy tearing itself apart these days...the middle ground is gone and if you don't agree with whatever side you're on, you suck.<br /><br />8 years ago you could see everywhere what patriotism was.<br /><br />Today the only place I see it is on my brother's face. The soldier who refuses to get into any political discussion disparaging any president past or present. He is proud to serve his COUNTRY. That's what it's supposed to be about. One joint country...not separate parties.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11931133460067630762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30765699.post-84223908694379193892009-09-12T09:10:27.840-04:002009-09-12T09:10:27.840-04:00Even I had a few days of "let's all come ...Even I had a few days of "let's all come together" post 9/11. These days it isn't about 9/11 or even Presidents lying. All that is just an outward symptom of the crappiness that is "community". There just isn't community anymore. If there were, we wouldn't be here online looking for the place where we can safely know people without having them judge our houses & children.honeywinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13733535530919608716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30765699.post-17419121665707799092009-09-12T09:03:55.958-04:002009-09-12T09:03:55.958-04:00Yesterday at GetGo I got totally free gas- and onl...Yesterday at GetGo I got totally free gas- and only used 15 gallons.

I was discussing the Obama speech to the school with a mom who was outraged (even after the text was released)and keeping her child home. I said even if it was W doing the speech, I would encourage my child to watch it and discuss what was said because he is the president and deserves a measure of respect because of that. She said respect was earned and Obama didn't deserve her respect because he hadn't earned it. I was taken aback that she couldn't respect the office of president simply because she didn't agree with his politics.Michelle Smileshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01423308673171062647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30765699.post-24084389543048438212009-09-12T08:47:35.291-04:002009-09-12T08:47:35.291-04:00This is a wonderful post and I couldn't agree ...This is a wonderful post and I couldn't agree more.

It made me want to kick the lady in the shins that had the nerve to tell me that she's "patriotic and all that, but she's sick of seeing all the flags." That pride is what I want to instill into my children. That loyal fierceness that says "this is my country and you WON'T mess with us," that pride that makes you put aside pettiness for the greater good of the nation, that pride that supports the president because he is leading this nation that you live in. No matter what president that is.<br /><br />I mostly remember that cohesiveness of community in the aftershock of 9/11. It was amazing.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09037928148778848386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30765699.post-76492222864018645712009-09-12T05:51:52.437-04:002009-09-12T05:51:52.437-04:00I am 100% in agreement with you.

I'm ashamed and embarassed by the way people have acted in the last year. I really hope we can find a way to come together. Coming together as a nation doesn't mean we have to forgo our own individual beliefs and ideas, but it means learning to accept that being different is OK and that is what makes a well rounded country.Candacehttp://www.nerdwagon.orgnoreply@blogger.com
