Is Arizona the nation's capital for hate, anger, rhetoric and vitriol?

[QUOTE="H D, post: 949177, member: 68494"] I agree with you almost 100%. You should know by my posts by now, that I think our government is in absolute turmoil, stagnation, and corrupt. We shouldn't expect better when we don't DEMAND better, though. I don't think this shooting is symptomatic of political banter, though. If not murdering public figures, this guy was going to eventually act out his derangement. Our current government doesn't want the people to realize this. They don't want us to know they are in way over their heads and prescribing solutions that only maximize government and personal power while throwing us catchphrases and rhetoric to fight with each other over. The two parties are working together better than most think. The size and scope of government power grows with each administration. Republicans focus on national security and appeal to a sense of safety. Democrats focus on social equity and promising handouts. The different approaches appeal to a different dumbed-down section of the population who refuse to engage in thinking about the true issues for themselves. Because we don't demand better. The election of Obama was a waking up of many. I think they've been lulled back to a slumber, though and just go on pretending Obama is different and all the bickering in Washington is a result of his "CHANGE." BS, its business as usual and we bear the brunt of another gigantic social program we can't afford. Bush had his Patriot Act which was unconstitutional in every regard. Obama has his health care bill, which is unconstitutional in many aspects. But go ahead, keep blaming the other guys. Keep voting straight tickets. Feel like your civic duty has been upheld by simply tapping a screen a couple times and walk out. They'll fix everything for you. It may require a few more of you dollars, or perhaps a few more concessions of your liberty, but you feel safe and fair, right? [/QUOTE]
