The United States has always been a beacon of hope. Sadly the GOP has adopted a strategy of fear in America. Just listen to their non-stop spiel on television and radio. Even their publications project the same theme. They say we are being invaded by Latinos and Islam wants to turn America in an Islamic state. The government plans to take away your guns. The government is being run by a group of communists or socialists that are intent on changing the character of America.
We are all victims of the GOP fear mongering. The result of their unproven lies is that we are being distracted from addressing the real problems facing the nation. There are terrorists who want to destroy the United States but we never discuss how to protect ourselves. We are facing a serous financial situation that has left millions unemployed but we are not discussing ways to resolve this issue. We do have a serious problem of illegal immigration but no one is talking seriously about ways to solve the problem.
The media, both conservative and liberal are to blame for much of our problem. The commentators spend too much of their time condemning those that disagree with their views.
America needs to stop the noise and start addressing the problems like adults. Leave out the political rhetoric. If we don’t, the United States will be remembered as the dream that never became reality.
