Depending on who you ask, you're going to get a lot of different views on the political climate here in the states.
I for one and somewhat cynical about our political agendas here. For one thing, we only know what is reported by the media and the media only reports what it wants us to know.
I could make this a lengthy treatise on how I feel about our president but I won't. Suffice to say I'm not a supporter. In some ways that seems to be a dangerous stance in this nation since there are a lot of "warnings" by the political right that those who don't support our president are aiding the enemy. What I would like to know is: who is the enemy? The only answer we seem to get here is: those who don't like freedom, or the terrorists or <i>them</i>.
We're not given a clear indication by our president who he believes the enemy is; he does, however, seem very eager to let us know that he is out there somewhere, just waiting to nail us so therefore we should place our undivided and unquestioning loyalty with him since he'll save us from them.
Many people here are only too glad to do it.
