How I have Often Felt. The Whole Left vs. Right Game is a Joke!
People are being played and emotions or biased used against them deliberately by politicians and big corporations advancing their agenda's through lobbyists in Congress.
While your squabbling and fighting with some one over guns rights, abortion or Obamacare, while things like the Patriot Act, Sequestration and Mansanto Protection Act are sliding through Congress without a peep or a comment from most constituents.
People in Iran, Iraq, China, Afghanistan or Russia would die to have most of the right's American's don't exercise by choice.

Ajami: 9/11 and the 'Good War'

Fouad Ajami: The road that led to 9/11 was never a defining concern of President Barack Obama. But he returned to 9/11 as he sought to explain and defend the war in Afghanistan in a speech to the Veterans of Foreign Wars in Phoenix, Ariz., on Aug. 17. "The insurgency in Afghanistan didn't just happen overnight and we won't defeat it overnight, but we must never forget: This is not a war of choice; it is a war of necessity. Those who attacked America on 9/11 are plotting to do so again. If left unchecked, the Taliban insurgency will mean an even larger safe haven from which al Qaeda could plot to kill more Americans."

President-Elect Obama Vows To Help Veterans
It's about damned time, honestly. This country is always so quick with the orders to send troops out and about to defend freedom, but when these men and women come back home, they're usually treated like second-class citizens by the same people who asked for their help. This bullshit has to stop.
