you think you know america...
So you think you America? Please explain it to me. I have lived here all my 53 years. Is it conservative as in Bush? Or is it Liberal as in Obama? Is it pro gun or is it gun control? Is it anti abortion or pro choice? Do immigrants do jobs no one else wants? or do they take jobs from unemployed workers? Is health care a right? or is health care a responsibility? Are public unions decimating local budgets for the unknown future or they something else to be cut? I do not pretend to be smart enough to know any answers that will please a majority. Hell Lincoln said he couldn't. This list could go on and on. Death penalty, Strip searches.... This IS NOT a pro America rant. I'm just pointing out what is OBVIOUS to most. No simple answers.
