Politics

Had enough yet? Or are you just forgiving people who don't have a clue about who you are, for telling you what's supposed to be, or how your life is supposed to be going? This year's Tea Party has Shanghai 'd your position in life as you know it by suggesting that they are representing your displeasure within our political system, yet you should understand this simple fact, people who have worked with a system, no matter how bad that system might be, do understand more about fixing the system faster than someone who hasn't worked with that system. Don't be fooled into thinking that someone can fix a complex system that has developed over many years overnight. We never give our hopeful change agents enough time to find out how to make the changes we want, and we are far to impatient to allow the processes they put in pace to take hold. I suppose it's because we are never going to be as bright as the people who founded our country, or ever learn from our own history. It's a sad statement that the Tea Party doesn't understand that time has changed everything, how this country is no longer the group of colonies that demanded freedom from a monarch, and spent 200 years redefining itself into a country that 's system of government and economy is the envy of the rest of the planet. Our current government isn't working to our expectations because the lesser party isn't willing to go that extra step to make things work, though they could...it's as simple as that. I'm not a political person, I really don't care abot positions or parties, but I'm angry that the country is divided because our elected officials are playing games. I don't buy the republicans stuff about not being heard, if that's true they aren't very good at communication.
