There is a lot of anger in the political arena these days. In fact to me there seems to be so much rage that it could cause one do ask, "Why do the nations so furiously rage together and why do the people imagine a vain thing?" It causes one to ask where has reason gone and when will he be back? Also will he bring compassion come with him or will she stay away as well?
American political discourse has entered into an era of extremism and vanity. It seems that now we vote for the person who only looks good and who gives us promises that stroke out vanity and pride. This extremism will continue to run its course into more hatefilled and eventually violent rhetoric. Such words may not condemn a man but certainly some day the words will poison a heart and blood will spill. How long will this cauldron of hate boil until its contents spill over? The answer is not long enugh.
My fellow Americans something must be done about the insanity and that is to restore reason to his proper place and to allow compassion to return to her throne. We through reason must quell the banshees of extremism and create revolution of reasoning and tolerance where the people not the parties rule.
Sadly as far as I can see there is but one option and that is for the average American to leave their party and creat another one based upon rational thought and cordial but spirited discourse. This has been happening already in fact over 30% of Americans now consider themselves independents.
I think that it is high time for a new party to emerge.
