Introduction to my blog

As the description states, but which I will repeat for the hell of it, this blog is an outlet, a vent of frustration and cynicism towards the current political and social environments that have become polarised by issues that have no place at the forefront of debate. We have become a mockery around the world, and while I do not make Europe, South America, or any other country or region the barometer for measuring the success of my country, I do believe that when much of the world reviles your actions and their repercussions there may be room for some inward reflection. It is very sad, and hard to believe, that the two party system we have in this country has become even more rigid. The current "with us or against us" mentality that has divided this country is shameful. If, for instance, you support the war on terrorism yet believe the federal government has no place fighting gay marriage, then you fit into no party, no mold. God knows the Republican Party as it stands today will not accept you, you heathen. No, not since the likes of Falwell, Graham (more junior than senior), and fellow narrow-minded, Bible-distorting "patriots" hijacked the party and the political process seven years ago. And Heaven knows you're too gung ho for the liberals, Mr. (or Mrs.) G.I. Joe (Jane). This blog is meant to truly rationalize the issues that, like it or not, confront our society. I'll keep an open mind to any post, if you'll do the same.
