Pure hate. For each other.

The blame game. That's what we play in America. We blame each other for our woes. Republicans blame Democrats. And Democrats blame Republicans. But with Republicans, it's gotten so bad that they even blame each other. For instance, look at the GOP's presidential aspirants. During the primary campaign, they savaged each other. Providing fuel for Barack Obama to use. Against Mitt Romney. Slurs used by Romney's fellow Republicans. Foul, mean-spirited stuff. From the mouths of his fellow Republicans. That's the nature of American politics. Tear down everybody. But especially one's rivals. Castigate. Call them evil. Liars. Scumbags. It's not enough to disagree on issues any more. One must become unfriendly in the most unfriendly ways. Downright hateful. And oh, yes, call members of the other party communists. A Republican congressman from Florida says there are 81 communists (Democrats) serving in congress now. Shades of age-old McCarthyism. We Americans in the political realm are working against each other. Rather than with each other. We are pulling for each other to fail. Miserably. Even if that means bringing America crashing down around us. We wish the worst. Of everything. We Americans have put the concept of love on the scrap heap. Instead, we have created pure hate. For each other. --Jim Broede
