My daily slice on politics—

Once again, our nation is divided— this time, into three schools of thought: (1) the progressive liberal school, (2) the conservative school, (3) the slimy leftovers.

I'm part of the Progressive School—a LIBERAL...one of the so-called 'Socialist / Marxist / Satanic / Lib-Tard / Nigger-Loving / Tree-Hugging Hippy / Bleeding Heart / Communist / Anti-American Constitution Hater / Pro-Abortion (yadda yadda) LEFTIES. Long, ridiculous list of untruths, ain't it? The fact of the matter is... I believe that American should have enough patriotism and common decency to not only be considerate of our neighbors (both foreign and domestic), but also be willing to work together towards leaving a better future for our children. PROGRESS—Get it?!

The second school (American Conservatives), in my opinion, tend to be far more reactionary (knee-jerk)... more apt to go into any situation, full of bravado, guns-blazing, without much thought involved. Intellectual, they are not. They pretty much digest most of the crap FOXNews spews their way, accepting the bullet points as gospel. Are they necessary BAD PEOPLE? No. But they do the rest of America a grave disservice by not using their noodle(s). Couple that with Fundamentalist "Mega Church" so-called "Christianity", you end up with aneven more insideous coctail. As a Christian, I find little in-common with "Christian Conservatives". American Conservatism and TRUE Christianity (a la Jesus Christ) cancel one another out completely — a true PARADOX.

Now we come to my favorite part...America's Mystery Meat...our collective Road-Kill... The Libertarian / Tea-Party "Patriots". You can't say much about them without sounding cliched. They are the worst...the Lowest Common Denominators...the uber-Racists...the Militia-types, shooting guns in backwoods compounds while swilling Sterno or Moonshine. Unfortunately for ALL AMERICANS, these fringe-folk have been given front stage prominence, thanks to FOXNews and people like John Boehner, Michelle Bachmann, Sarah Palin, and all other members of GOP leadership who cater to their ramblings --mostly out of fear, I think.

And that's the state of oun nation. We have the rational thinkers, the selfish cowboys, and the freak-show. Question is, where do we go from here?

I honestly don't know.
