As I watch the news, I am amazed by the friendliness of politicians and reporters who have such widely differing views. When I find myself so opposed to views of people such as Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi and Barack Obama, it's personal for me.
The policies that these people and their cohorts in Washington support are destroying the U.S. It isn't just a "difference of opinion" but more clearly a direct attack on the foundation of our governmental system.
It doesn't require IEDs and AK 47s. The downfall of this nation can be accomplished by the wanton spending policies endorsed by the left.
If the conservatives in Washington don't take steps to stop this assault, we will have nothing left worth fighting for.
If you support the socialist agenda, you are an enemy of this country and it's foundational precepts as surely as al-Qaida, and there can be no unity.
