I figure I’d throw my hat into the Tucson attack discussion ring while the conversation is fresh.
Predictably, Democrats and Republicans, liberals and conservatives, truthers and non-truthers, and all other political enemies are pointing fingers at one another, attempting to assign blame for the six dead people and the many injured (including Congresswoman Giffords) to entire political parties and movements. While no one should be surprised at this, I still find myself woefully amused by America’s response to the tragedy in Arizona.
I've been called all of those things and even more. I think of the way this country is, and the way I wish the country should be. I've tried to be "reasonable" in my wishlist and a few of the solutions that I would like to see implemented. This is the campaign speech i would give if I were running for President.
I hear it every day, from a lot of different sides of these politics in the United States. The Democrats and republicans are very fond of using the word "FREEDOM". To quote a good movie, (I love movies with pirates in them you know) "The Princess Bride", "You keep using that word. I do not believe it means what you think it means." Of course they do not know what it means.
