What is going on in this world? Especially in America? Have people become so intolerant? It has been said that "there are four boxes in the pursuit of liberty. The Soap Box, the Ballot Box, the Jury Box and the ammo Box. Use them in that order." It would appear people are not only intolerant of other belief systems here in America but these insane people are going straight to the ammo box.
In the last month (as of early August 2012) there has been, a shooting in a movie theater (Aurora, Colorado), a shooting inside a Sikh religious center (Oak Creek, Wisconsin), and just this weekend, the burning down of a mosque in Joplin, Missouri.
Have people just lost faith in the system, and if so, is it justified?
Many of us, myself included, are blaming several factors for this society's apparent breakdown: 1) intolerance taught by clergy (hate mongers if you ask me, not people of G*d) and Conservatives in both houses of Congress. These Conservatives are trying to take this country back to a time when freedom for the majority was only a dream, including people of color, and women.
If we don't stop this now, this country won't last.
People out there have the right and responsibility to impeach any elected official, especially if said official is not representing the people. Let us not wait till November, because the Conservatives in Congress can destroy us all by November. They are the consummate bullies, preying on the elderly and disabled.
The Republicans have admitted to having an agenda of getting Barack Obama out office by any means necessary, including not guaranteeing jobs to be created to put people back to work. Is that representing America? I think not. Get them out and get them out now.
