Politics turning society sour

Most Americans have been fed up with the political games and bickering in this country because most Americans just want to do the right thing. That was evident when most Americans including members of the NRA wanted "well regulated" gun control so that irresponsible people and criminals could not just get what they wanted, when they wanted and didn't have to follow the same rules everyone was willing to live by.

What did Congress do? They backed down to the heads of the NRA instead of sicking up for the majority of the people they took an oath to serve. Pretty disgusting when you think about the children shot lately when they got their hands on their parents guns. Not only were they irresponsible gun owners, they were not very responsible adults.

This is the latest one.

This happened in April

This happened in March.

Tennessee boy, 3, cheats death after accidentally shooting himself in head with gun.

The NRA heads say buy more guns. Do they ever have an answer for any of this? No and the rest of us are disgusted.

We are sick and tired of the talk radio rants on both sides. As Jon Stewart has suddenly discovered there is a problem with veterans getting the care they need from the VA he ignores what happened in the years before. Maybe it would have been good to take a look back at what was going on with the VA when troops were sent into Afghanistan and then to Iraq when there was already a backlog of claims. And then we have what Rush Limbaugh has been doing all these years that seems to have finally caught up with him.

The battle between Rush Limbaugh and the Cumulus radio network continued on Wednesday.

The two camps have been trading accusations for days, ever since anonymous Limbaugh backers told the New York Daily News that the host was thinking of abandoning the network due to CEO Lew Dickey's repeated assertions that his controversial comments were hurting ad sales.

But now it has gone so far that an Iraq veteran has been uninvited from a Memorial Day event.

Teaneck Re-invites Iraq War Veteran to Speak at Memorial Day After Criticism
Teaneck Marine Corps veteran says he is "honored" to speak after officials pulled his Memorial Day invitation.

The Teaneck Township Council reversed course and voted Tuesday to extend an invitation to an Iraq War veteran who was disinvited last month from speaking at the town’s Memorial Day ceremony after criticizing the governing body.

The 5-0 vote came following a packed public meeting where a string of residents and veterans lambasted the council for the decision to rescind the speaking invite first issued by the town’s Patriotic Observance Advisory Board to Jason Castle, a U.S. Marine Corps veteran and Teaneck resident. Township Manager William Broughton said at an April 23 council meeting that he nixed the invite because of Castle’s “negative interactions” with the town council, but insisted the decision was not politically motivated.

If you only listen to the media, you'd think everyone was on one side or the other but if you watch what is happening when they do their reports, you understand that most people are for each other and not against them.

Look at what happened in Boston as total strangers risked their lives to help the wounded. Look what happened when the three young women were rescued from the house of hell. When tragedy strikes, we come together and that, that is what most Americans do.
