Dear Jake and everybody,
I would like to express a growing concern and frustration that I have. I have chosen to join several of Jakes yahoo groups for 2 reasons. The first, of course, are the hot pics. And the second? for the health and fitness tips that they profess to give.
However, I have frequently found the text, which is supposed to be about health and wellness, disintegrating into anti-Republican rants. Just as not all Democrats are evil, neither are all Republicans.
I have friends who are on both sides of political realm and tend to be a bridge between the two groups. I'm a Libertarian by nature, smaller government, more personal liberty and personal responsibility.
The anger and bitterness between the two sides has really gotten to me this year and I'm just sick of both sides treating the other side as if they are idiots and stupid. BOTH sides have valid points and BOTH sides have invalid points.
Until each side learns to respect the other, WE, as a country, will go nowhere.
e pluribus unum.
Sincerely, Tom
Moderator: Thank you Tom. But, I take issue with some of your notions. I am a supporter and friend of Megan McCain. Even invited her to my home. In the Obama group i made clear that I like the idea of individuals who support gay rights taking over both parties. But, find me a handful of Republican politicians that will vote to end DADT. Right now, it is difficult to find "one." Even more outrageous and they admit it, by saying NO they hope to defeat Obama. Democratics supported George W Bush. Now it is time for Republicans to support Pres. Obama. It is suppose to be "country 1st" and "party 2nd.". What happened? Aren't you a-shamed of not finding republicans who will vote to end DADT? Enough is enough!!! If you believe I am unfair, I apologize. But, my notion is that we are a democracy. If republicans do not support my democratic rights, than they are my enemy and i shall do my best to defeat the republicans for voting against me. In every single state; whereas, they have a republican gov and the legislature voted to support gay marriage, the govenor vetoed it. What happened to Democracy? Want the hate to end? Than CALL and write the republicans and tell them to vote yes on ending DADT. Than we can talk further. Further, anyone with HIV is automatically turned down for private health care insurance. The new insurance law changes it. Now republicans want to take away insurance on individuals with HIV and pre-exisisting illness? Sorry, I will not stand for it. Hell no, I will not change my mind. If anything, i will become more bitter. Country will go no where when you have a "Party of NO." Period!!!...jake
