Terrorism and Politics

The Mini Publicans starting with good old Dick Cheney have started to throw rocks from inside the glass house that is American politics. Even Joe (I’m a Democrat today and an Independent now) Lieberman is on the band wagon. All of the rock throwers are pointing at the Democrats and saying that the party is limp wrested when it comes time to defending our nation from terrorist attacks.

Stop the presses! Is it just me or is this more politics than a stomach could take? Somebody pass me the Tums and if that doesn’t work I may need a Pepcid. Who the hell do all these talking suits think they are fooling? America has some serious issues to deal with and pointing the finger at anyone but themselves is a waste of time. America needs people to defend her from attack from any avenue possible and yet we have all these blow hards telling us whom is to blame for our lack of an attention span when it comes to terrorist attacks.

I’ve had it with people that are supposed to be the leaders of our nation telling us one thing but leaving out parts of the truth. Pick an issue or pick a side and they are both guilty of it. The truth is that all they are doing is padding their own seats and covering their asses for the sake of some form of power. Protecting the interests of those that put them in elected office is far greater than what the American people need from them. Pick a side of the isle and you can pretty much follow the money from there.

Our nation along with so many others could have lost thousands of lives this week if not for the intelligence networks of many nations working together for the common good. That should be the lead story in the papers and on the blogs. Instead we get the Democrats are against protecting America or the Republicans are willing to lock us all up for our own good and protection. Either way you look at it from either side of the isle, they blame us ultimately. Yup, your neighbor the Democrat is to blame for the attacks against America. Or is it the nice folks on the other side that are Republicans to blame for the attacks against America? All the folks in Washington are blaming everyone else and that frankly points to you and to me.

If either of my neighbor’s houses was on fire, I would rush in to save them and their children without question of personal injury to myself. Why would I do that for them? Because I am an American first and the fire that is terrorism doesn’t care what political party, race, religion or status in life you come from. All it knows that it has fuel to feed on.

How do you get Washington and the people that are supposed to represent us to see that?
