A Call For Conservatives and Liberals to Unite to Save America
I submit this blog as a place for both sides to attempt to find a common ground that will help America. No name calling. Add your ideas and expect others to disagree. We have many problems that must be addressed. Jobs, the economy, housing, education and many more issues need to be addressed.
Do you dare to address these and other issues without any name calling?
That is the best idea I have heard in a long time! 😀
I’m in. Sounds good to me Mr Sawyer. One issue at a time and no stopping until we see blood?
My current agenda has to do with the local food pantry (non-denominational). I’m spending twice what I need for myself on non-perishable foods for the pantry every month. I’m pretty serious about protein and hate the idea that there is none out there for a lot of people these days. Along with with canned fruit. Leaving the pasta crap to others.
End the Haliburton and KBR contracts in Iraq and Afghanistan. The Army Corps of Engineers needs to once again do military supply and infrastructure.
Expand the number of Troops and of course Engineers to make this feasible, once again.
If a program does not work and is too expensive it needs to be shelved.
Please cut and paste the following link and give it a watch. Thank you

I’m in too. Does that mean you’ll stop calling me an idiot? lol :entertained:
Really…I think it is a wonderful idea. I just wrote a blog about the same thing…so did Vic.
Lets debate the issues wiothout name calling and use adult language. You got my vote! HEART!
If Egyptians, Tunisians, and others in Northern Africa and the Middle East can unite in a united front to create a better country, America should be able to do so too. Let’s do it!
Howdy doody. My name’s Temy and I’m an oddball. Not nearly enough room in a comment space to write as much comment as I would write if I had the space but i will eventually do a blog on. I do agree we should all try to refrain from name-calling.
Education:
A couple days ago, I heard that President Obama is cutting the Pell Grants. I think this is a great thing…and I’d like to tell you why. PRIDE. I watched my oldest sister work 10 years to get her college degree. She would go to school for a semester and work for a semester…go to school for a semester and work for a semester. I was so proud when she graduated…and she did not owe a dime to anyone. Let me tell you how this worked to her benefit later in life. She taught school for many years, and then applied for an Assistant Principal’s position. The school she worked at had 3 Vice Principals. Fastforward about five more years…and the Principal was retiring. All three Vice Principals were up for consideration. My sister got the job…and spent the last 20 years as The Principal of her school. What made the determination was…she owed no college loans…and the other two Vice Principals owed many thousand dollars and had not paid the money back. Nothing you get for free means as much as that which you work for. It is a good thing what President Obama is doing with the Pell Grants. Does it surprise you I’d praise Obama for anything?lol
I’d fire up the peace pipe…but I don’t think smoking is allowed in here….
Good idea, Allah-O-Akbar!
RC 🙂
I’m not surprised you would be for anything that makes life harder, Bill. You seem to take great pride in things being hard, even your online name reflects that. I sure agree it’s ridiculous to go into huge debt for college…I see no valid reason why money should enter into it at all. What is good about working 10 years to get a degree? If you want a college degree, why should you not be able to get one as soon as you are able to do the academic work required for the degree? What’s money got to do with it? Even as I am stunned by people who want things to be as hard as possible, I sure want them to be able to do everything the hardest possible way if that’s what they want. I sure don’t want them making things hard for everyone else, though.
Spread the wealth. It does not make sense for a CEO to be living in a mansion as his or her employees are borderline poverty. When you have employees living in poverty, the less money that is being spent in the economy. It does not make sense to give the wealthy tax breaks either. It has not been proven to help the economy. Actually, it has been proven to hurt the economy. Contrary to popular belief, tax breaks do not create jobs.
I’m going to issue a challenge. Let’s think outside the box. Liberals must post conservative ideas they can live with and conservatives post liberal ideas they can live with. Let’s try to find a common ground to build from.
I just want compassion and the civilized advancement of ALL of humanity to have more value than money and profits. I want to see society place more value on taking care of each other instead of encouraging everyone to hoard at the expense of their fellow man.
These ideas go beyond politics and if they ever succeed, politics will become totally obsolete and useless. This is my one great hope. This is the one idea that I embrace above all others.
