Robert F. Kennedy once said back in June of 1966, There is a Chinese curse which says, 'May he live in interesting times'. Like it or not, we live in interesting times...” Considering what China has been shipping this country lately, I would change that to dangerous times.

 

What exactly will it take to piss off Americans?  I wish I had the answer to that question.  Could our inept government be the reason why so many choose not to vote in the first place especially when they do not see their needs being attended to? I think that the only thing that can save this country is if we forget what party we belong to if any and only see ourselves as Americans first.  The same issues as cited above affect us all.  The lack of jobs, health care, and safe food does not care which political party you belong to.  They are after all equal opportunity issues that this government is failing to adequately address.

 

One last item to address as we continue to discuss our broken borders is that any number of pandemic diseases and even nuclear materials used in making bombs can make their way across them.  Yet two border agents named Ignacio Ramos and Jose Compean sit in jail for shooting a drug terrorist in the buttocks.  Oh yes and Johnny Sutton gave this drug terrorist immunity and health care to boot.  Now, I call that pathetic.  Don’t you?
