Wednesday.....Culture.....Divided Society?

We are fast heading towards being a divided society. President Barack Obama and the Democratic majority in Congress tried to overhaul the current health care in America with socialized medicine. The public overwhelmingly said no! This was not a minor bill, it was a watershed piece of legislation in America. Though what is talked about now is much smaller in scope than the original, it is a foot in the door and would be subject to additions from here on out. The reconciliation measure would be back door and deception. It is so blatantly ethically corrupt that if it is used it may alter the description of the inhabitants of this country. Right now we polarized, we have differing worldviews. It is a difficult situation that breeds gridlock. A divided society is a much deteriorated condition. There would be two peoples within this one nation. There would eventually be two distinct enclaves, with two distinct educational systems. We would work together, hopefully politely, and then retreat to our people. Race would not delineate these peoples but be represented within both. We would have different diets, shop in different areas, vacation at different resorts and worship at different churches. As in the recently completed Olympics, we would cheer our own. If we were fortunate, we would peacefully coexist but the nature of this progressive mindset does not lend to accepting election defeats with humility. I have said it before and will reiterate it once again; Barack Obama knows he is a one term president and he also knows that he will lose the Congress at the end of the year. He is going to force his ideology on us and this is only the beginning. Executive powers will be used and if we experience a national trauma of some sort, exigencies will dictate. If this reconciliation passes, it should be a litmus test for Republicans. If they back off one iota from deploring this maneuver, they may as well move to the other party. Reconciliation would not merely be a tendentious decision, it would be a warped decision, changing society without the consent of the people-in fact against their wishes, done for political reasons without the best interests of the people in mind but the furtherance of an ideology that has reared its ugly head often and failed to produce what it promises every time. This is an opportunity for Democrats to not only take back their party, but to restore a healthy competitive political discourse to America.
