It's a few more hours away, but I would like to start the new year off with this.

[b][c=BF0000]I have been angry many times over and said horrible things. Sometimes baited and provoked and sometimes not. I am not apologizing since we all know I'll probably say horrible things again. We have this whole 'right vs left' thing going on now. There's not much we can do about it. It's here. A nation divided between two types of people and both groups cannot begin to wrap their minds around how the other group thinks. We are baffled and confused by each other. We are frustrated and aggravated by each other. I have found myself wishing the war would just hurry up and start, so I could start stringing ears!
All I can say, is that I hope by the end of this year we will see one another as Americans and not enemies. There is no need to remind me of the outrageous things I've said about my political opposites. I am quite aware. I am not apologizing for my paleoconservative beliefs, but I will try harder to be more civil. I only hope and pray that there will be peace when the tides turn this year. Those of you that I have referred to as "maggots" and "vermin" are every bit as entitled to your beliefs as I am. That's a definite 'no brainer'. I've always known that. I hate how you think, and you hate how I think, but I know we would be better off if we could successfully strive toward national unity. So even though I am a John Birch style conservative, I pray for the collective success and progress of our great nation. If the division we have now continues, there is no way this nation will survive, much less, succeed. [/c][/b]
