As stated before I am most definitely a Democrat while I would never hug a tree or approve of legislating recycling (i think it should be a choice) I identify myself politically as a Democrat. I USED to say I was socially liberal and fiscally conservative but after what happened because of deregulation I cannot in good conscious considered myself conservative anything.

The problem is that people in these threads tend to grossly over generalize others in the thread. I can't stand Obama...just another in a long line of spineless democrats and he takes zero risks. The wars in the middle east are proof of it..say one thing, do another.

I personally feel that organizations like the tea party and the rhetoric they use is lowering the level of discourse and respect in the US to some shocking lows. There have been worse in the past but never with the ability to reach so many so quickly and have such an amazingly negative effect. No one is taking responsibility about it either.

The likelihood that there is going to be a truly terrible violent response from some 'crazy' out there to the vitriol being spewed is high and when it does I bet both sides blame the other, no one accepts that their speech played a role and the bullshit keeps on keeping on. Like The Doc I served in the US Marine Corps but I am truly embarrassed by the behavior my fellow Americans have displayed over the course of the last 18 months. I hope we as a nation get our collective shit together and stop acting so emotionally over political debate
