....I know that people of much different political persuasions can not only get along with each other, they can be good friends, and I believe that any problem this nation faces can be resolved by sending in the cooler heads, who are willing to respect the opinions of the people across the table, listen to what each other have to offer, cull through the theories and ideas and mutually and honestly choose the ones which are the best for We The People.
Unfortunately, after pondering the situation, I have come to the conclusion that there are many on both sides of the issues who don't want to work out differences, who only want to see the other side reduced to the point that their party will be in power, that they know what kind of country the United States of America should be, and they will settle for nothing less, the well-being of the people they are sworn to serve be damned.
American politics decades ago bypassed the realm of public service and entered the realm of ideologies, transcending the rational, the sensible, the durable in the quest for enough votes to elect a president, to gain a majority, a game of thrones with power as the prize.

Sorry, Charlie, but today’s lib adults ARE the children, and they seem to be so full of hate, and selfishment, leaving anything for the children is the last thing on their minds.
They want it all, and the want it now!
Charlie is correct. Unfortunately not enough politicians and citizens think about this and our bastions of education are filling our kids heads full of propaganda.
The Democrats under LBJ destroyed the black family and now all families are being destroyed. Any law that can not pass the common sense law is wrong.
Looks like an overcrowded, impoverished, lawless Third World ****hole with all the morals and ethics of a Sodom & Gomorrah.
I admit, that describes me pretty well. I want an America where people take care of themselves to the best of their ability, and respect the rule of law. I will settle for nothing less, and anyone who is opposed to taking care of themselves and respecting the rule of law can pretty much die in the gutter for all I care. I suppose I am meant to feel bad about this mindset, but I can't.
This why Americans voted Mr. Trump into the White House this past November.
You might read that again before you say it describes you....
he has more sense in his little finger than the entire Congress
“sending in the cooler heads, who are willing to respect the opinions of the people across the table”......
I agree with Charlie but the problem arises when seeking those with the “cooler heads” and can/will “respect the opinions of others”. We’re talking about liberals here and finding such people in their ranks is nay unto impossible.
Nope. Liberalism, Socialism, Communism MUST be defeated.
I don’t want to extend a hand across the aisle. Whenever we do, we pull back a bloody stump.
Enough, already. Nuke the CANCER that has invaded America. Get back to basics, get GOVERNMENT OUT OF OUR LIVES and follow our Constitution.
That is all. :)
Also known as "compromise", something conservatives do way too much of.
who only want to see the other side reduced to the point that their party will be in power,
Definitely want my side in power, yes...
that they know what kind of country the United States of America should be,
Oh, yes.
and they will settle for nothing less,
Not ashamed to say it.
the well-being of the people they are sworn to serve be damned.
Yeah, I don't much care about the "well-being" of those whose "well-being" demands high taxes, socialized medicine, open borders, gun control, etc.
Lady...Charlie was referring to liberal democrats....
“Power” is the ONLY thing they want to see...The welfare of the American people doesn’t enter into the democrats equation...
They and only they KNOW what kind of country the US SHOULD be...IOW, a socialist utopia...Just what the liberals strive for...
Think about it...And maybe you need to learn a little about what kind of American is Charlie Daniels....
No, I’m going to go ahead and think how I think, and feel how I feel, thanks.
You’re welcome....
