Voices: Something to consider


We are still the United States of America, the home of the free and the brave, but barely.

We started the year with two political parties, the Republicans and the Democrats. We ended 2009 with two parties, completely at opposite ends, the Conservative Movement and the Socialist Movement.

We as a country have been at opposite ends of debates many times, but this debate is tearing at the foundation of our country.

The debate question is simple: “Do you or someone else provide for you?”

Something to consider.
