1.  Tearing apart!ID #676296

It is beginning to be sad to watch how the US is tearing itself apart and how quickly we forget.

It was a year ago that American's decided that the eight years of Bush's administration had to go! It really didn't matter who the Democrats put up for president. He or she would win! Now the individual that did get elected had/has a silver spoon for a tongue. He said that America needed to change. It had to show more compassion to its poor, it had to change the way it did business, and it had to have a way to put all American's on equal footing so that the dream of America could flourish.

Now that he is doing exactly what he said he would do he has become the symbol of "evil" for many.

There now appears to be a religious war going on right here in the United States. On the one side is the ultra right Christians that take the Bible literally. That evolution is theory of the devil, that if you don't believe in the christian god you need to be converted, ignored, or worse, destroyed.

I see no difference from this group of religious frantically believers than those operating in the Middle East. Both are willing to put to death those who do not believe. All we have to do is look at the witches of Salem and more recently the assassinations of doctors who preform abortions. Then there is the attempts to put religious doctrine in public schools' science courses. Creation as a science principle?? Give me a break. If you want to use that to explain how life developed on the planet you might as well say Life began 5 seconds ago and everything you think and believe was put in your mind by God!

Not only did the current president inherit a ton of problems caused by the previous administration's actions he also inherited major issues that the previous administration ignored for eight.
years. If the US was a car the current president got a car whose engine needs to be overhauled, the roof leaks, all four tires need to be replaced, the windshield has major cracks, and the gas tank has a hole in it. Only someone who loves cars and his country would even try to refinish it.

Half this country understands that what he is trying to do is to improve the situation and the other half unfortunately either does not understand or blinded by a misguided religious belief. The sad part is that they have discovered that if they use the modern means of communication to tell a mistruth long enough and loud enough people begin to believe them. Talk about people taking a page from Hitler's tactics. The end result is that the US is tearing itself apart and the vultures are hovering.
