On politics...

Okay, for the most part I'm too darned busy showing the flaws in modern pseudo-science to want to do much on politics here but...

They moaned and complained as George Bush orchestrated one of the largest expansions in the US Government in history. They whined about his policies, the war, the money he spent, and ultimately about the economic crisis (even though the evidence points to the possibility (I won't say fact here because I'm too lazy to find a citation right now) that the Dem's are the ones that finally caused the housing collapse).

Someone please explain to me something. If what Bush did was so bad, how is Obama doing even more than that better? Is a massive increase of the items that made Bush so disliked really the hope and change the American people wanted? Really?

We're leaving Iraq (were gonna do that anyway) but we're pumping up Afghanistan with out a plan. (At least "the surge" had a communicated plan behind it along with a change in command).

We borrowed and over-spent ourselves into an economic crisis... now the solution is to borrow more and spend EVEN MORE! Huh? Something does not compute.

Obama touted "hope and change"... The increase in people who voted for him going to gun stores and saying the reason is they're afraid of him! Terrifying!

But here's the most frightening thing. Nobody can talk to a person with a differing point of view anymore because we no longer can even understand the ideas of the other side. You must have common ground to hold meaningful political discourse. We seem to be engaged in political tit-for-tat.

It is time to kick everyone out of office (on both sides) and hold some meaningful discussions. We're all Americans, we'd better find some common ground quick.
