Letter to Conservatives
I was intrigued by this "Letter to Conservatives" post. It points out the value of constructive criticism -- of which there is not much, amidst all the idle name-calling and thumb-sitting.
People seemed determined to obliterate awareness that the giant mess we are in now developed during a long Republican reign. Well, it's the mess we have to clean up now. Anyone who doesn't like the President's ideas for fixing it is invited to propose and alternate plan. Preferably I would like to see everybody's plans, including the President's, for fixing problems tested out on a small scale to make sure they actually work. Then they can be implemented on a wider scale. We've seen way too much smoke-and-mirrors act.
Blockading the government is not helping. Griping from the sidelines is not helping. Trying to make someone else fail because you don't like him -- and you're willing to hurt the country and everyone in it, as long as you can drag your hated nemesis through the mud -- is definitely not helping. You want to impress people, try doing something that actually works. It's pretty rare these days; it'll get attention.
