Our President isnt flaming this fire nor do I believe he started it. I hold 100% of that blame to our ever growing media, commentator pundits and the hatred that already existed in our country for finding an outlet for it. <br />The disdain of our country wasnt caused because one man was elected to office, it was caused by the mass coverage of those who are filled with hate being allowed the louder voice in a crowd.<br />Negativity creates negativity period. Nothing our President has done, said or not done or not said has created this hatred that seeps thru the veins of our country.<br />This hatred grows because its allowed to permeate the minds of our children, our young adults and our already discontented citizens.<br />You turn on any news outlet at any hour on any day and you will be bombarded with images, claims and complaints about how the world has fell apart and its all someone else's fault. <br />Fingers are pointed at everyone and anyone, but no one ever takes responsibility for their part in it. Not Congress, Not the Presidents, Not any governmental body, not a single newscaster, commentator and not a single chanting from the protests citizen.<br />I take responsibility! I know I play a part. I know what I say can influence others whether or not I want it to. Its because of that very slight chance that I CHOOSE to have FAITH instead of HATE.Jackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04926405649108026512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20012219.post-47041013808970246502011-01-12T13:09:47.504-06:002011-01-12T13:09:47.504-06:00PS, I agree with most of what you say but whether ...PS, I agree with most of what you say but whether you are a Palin supporter or not, I don't believe she belongs in this discussion.

It's hard to even vote when you don't agree 100% with either party. I'm glad I'm not the only one that feels out of the loop of being a pure party choice. I don't pay attention to politics much usual, but this bill-pushing that's going on right now is even making me nervous! And if I know about something like this, understand it, and think it's bad then that's not a good sign. LOL!
