5. True, powerful, yet harsh

So true, and I too am at the point of realization and exhaustion. Having tried everything else, republicans have tried to sell to us that cutting jobs is somehow magically going to create them. This violation of the most basic structure of our society, that is, to ensure domestic tranquility, provide common defense, promote general welfare, is in the Constitution.

I too am exasperated with the pockets of our Tea Party society who are sold to the money-fed media propaganda of weekly messaging, that has been dictated verbatim, and fed to willing mouthpieces. Billionaires dish out the cash to the networks who in turn act in a manner that benefits fluid companies that have no allegiance to any particular country, but only to shareholders, banks, and paid-off politicians.

I can relate to the writer's sentiments in seeing republican themes as being so blatantly clear, but yet a majority of Americans still are unable to pierce through that armor of logic that lies lost in the reality of daily television cutesy reports, on whatever broadcasters choose to show us.

Meanwhile, the men with the real balls on the front line of the blaze, do the right thing by protecting lives--as in they are the real value here. We need these brave men & women. We should tell these firemen we appreciate them, and their jobs are secure. Now, what is wrong with that?
