It has been noted by some-that I may have gone too far in my anger against our evil members of Congress. That is probably a legitimate beef.
I am very angry about the debt ceiling debate. The GOP’s position is completely unreasonable. They are more concerned about appeasing a group of selfish individuals than doing what is right for the nation as a whole. I firmly believe that.
Nonetheless-as a blogger-I have a responsibility to curb my temper. Sometimes-especially after a few beers I forget that, because I quite passionate about things I believe in. Fixing the United States and getting our disparate populace to understand that the world has changed is one of those issues. My comments went to far regarding what fate is deserved by our erstwhile Representatives in Washington. Craig Hooper has rightly called out Uncle Dumbo on that score-he probably needs to make the same comment about me. I went too far in my rhetoric. Bloggers have a responsibility to be good stewards of civic behavior. Anti-government rhetoric, “wink-wink” anti-government incitement and calls for violence must not find a place in America’s milblog community.
For that-I apologize to you my readers. It was wrong.
But I will continue to write about the debt ceiling debate-because it is personal to me. But I will try harder to be more temperate. That I did not do so earlier is my fault and I sincerely apologize.
I think their actions (or in-actions with regards to raising the debt ceiling) is already killing the stock market all over Asia~ Actually right now I’m hoping they won’t raise the debt ceiling and we can all see what’s going to happen to those people who said there wasn’t a default in the first place (?!?!).
A democracy is great only if you have an educated population…
Skippy,
It really puts things in perpective when you remember the only thing worse than a democrat is a republican and visa versa.
Anyone that believes either team is better than the other is simply not paying attention.
