The defenders of America.

Many conservatives – individuals and organizations – seem to be at war with government. Accusing government of being too intrusive in their lives. Instead, many conservatives would prefer having free rein. Doing as they please. Even if it’s contrary to the common good. They don’t hesitate to bad-mouth Barack Obama. And so-called liberals/progressives. Many of ‘em hate Obama. Because he’s black. Some talk about open rebellion. And seceding from the USA. They insist on arming themselves. With lethal weapons. They’d like to foist their ways on all of us.  They think the rest of us are ignorant. And subversive. That we’re the problem. And so they have more or less declared war. On government. And those of us who prefer government that serves the common good.  With decent social programs. Such as social security and the Affordable (Medical) Care Act. Well, if it’s war that the conservatives want – let’s give ‘em war. Let’s start looking at them as enemy combatants. As the subversives. As the ones out to overthrow our legitimate  government. We liberals/progressives/socialists have to start looking at ourselves as the true patriots.  The defenders of America. –Jim Broede
