A Table Conversation - I Witnessed & What I Learned

There are moments when you are just sitting minding your own busy when suddenly you ears flutter to people talking.  Well, for me it happen to be at a birthday party for a friend of my wife and I was sitting with a elder couple and a somewhat late thirties white male.  They were talking about politics and their points of view on the going on of the world.   

At first, I would have to admit I try to pay no mind, but their conversation drew me in with every passing moment till I eventually would take part. I would say that it was one of the highlights of the party for me, because it allowed for two sides of the coin to have a decent non-troll like conversation that is missed in today’s political lexicon.  Adults have an deep and interesting conversation in which they can find points to agree on and points to adamantly disagree on.  They share their perspectives of free market to the birth and success of Obamacare.  The nuance of the their talking points and deep thought thrilled me in which I wish I could have that with some of the people I met on twitter.  

So I am sitting there listening to what he can be called a “free-thinking” conservative and a moderate liberal. It was a cordial but heated debate at times but mostly subdued.  It was a political conversation that we all wish we can have with family, friends or strangers.  It was conversation done with respect and also fostered good human decency between the two viewpoints. 

It makes you wonder what does it really mean to be political involved? Does being mean-spirited and rude show that you are or is it allowing both sides to air their opinions and find common ground. 

So a table conversation is still a possibility in this modern political era, where hostility and who is the loudness seems to drown out common sense and human decency.   

Where does that leave us? Is there a way that we can come back from where we stand now and take a seat at the Table again? It is an idea and maybe it can become a reality. Wishful thinking I guess

Look into the Voice of Common Sense

I was going to just not comment, but I had to as a patriot of this republic. Some of you have the audacity to talk about the President and congress the way you do. You forget you supported a President who lied to the American people and took us to a war which he willfully knowing there was no WMD's. The Cost: our Blood and our Treasure. Now those within a certain part of a political party is holding 300 millions Americans hostage and all fault of there making are holding the entire world as well. 

You can hate the President all you want for whatever nonsensical or righteous indignation you may have. But don't be crying about the debt or anything else when it was the GOP who shutdown the Government.  It was the GOP who got us in debt and was behind the GREAT Recession.  It was the GOP who brought us here time and time again. An it was their Right Wing Nut Jobs (RWNJS)  who brought the battle flag of those traitors who attempted to secede from this Union to the White House. How Dare you!

Please understand we all have the right to free speech in whatever way shape or form. But if you are going to exercise that right don't be stupid and ignorant. Read true history not it's rewrite.Understand that we are moving forward and the past is the past.

We can't undone the past but we can make our future better.  So if you want to impeach anyone, impeach yourself and those of your ilk. You bear ill will towards this Republic and it citizens. This is beyond creed, religion, sex, nationality, orientation  it comes down to ARE A CITIZEN OF THE UNITED STATES or ARE YOU NOT?

Look inside yourself and answer that... May God Bless these UNITED States and all of her citizens in this troubling times
