Our Country Sucking

I don't care which side of the political fence you reside on, this has been a BRUTAL stretch for everyone. Negative doesn't begin to talk about how ugly things have gotten. On 9/11 I was reminded of a horrific event that actually brought us together as a nation. We got behind something, the United States of America. We all want more money in our pockets at the end of the day. We all want less national debt and to feel safe and secure at home. Why are the simplicities that bring us together naturally as human beings is completely overshadowed by how we are forced into one of two political parties that form a giant wedge between us. There are substantial things that differentiate people into Republicans and Democrats, but the utter failure to even attempt to work together on basic things is painful. Neither party is infaliable and their hatred for each other is awful and embarassing. I'd like to get united behind something and if tragedy no longer works, let's figure something else out. United we stand, divided we fall. Such a simple saying that keeps ringing true.
