Apple, I happen to agree about the whole Afghanastan issue and how the younger generation of today, who may not have been old enough to understand back then, should be taught the real reasons as to why we went there in the first place. That issue may warrent a thread of it's own.

But that aside, I just wanted to point out that we all have ideas and suggestions as to what we think may or may not be appropriate for a President to talk to our children about. Everyone from all sides will believe that what they may agree with and believe in does not constitute a neo-con, far right, far left or socialist way of thinking. And if they disagree with the content that will be presented in a President's speech, then they will always find a label for it and accuse the speaker of being a commie, a socialist, a neo-con or a wingnut.

And for the life of me I just cannot see what the hell is wrong with getting back to the basics and talking to children about the importance of education and going to school.

In many ways, what I see going on right now with political arguements and debates, mirrors what went on in the Bush era.

Many from the right were very supportive of President Bush and accused the left of hating him, picking on him, and scrutinizing him for everything that he did and said.

Now many from the left are very supportive of President Obama and accuse the right of hating him, picking on him and scrutinizing him for everything the he does or says.

In truth, right now, the left is learning how the right felt when they, the left, continually and repeatedly attcked President Bush. And many on the right are now acting, with President Obama, the way that many on the left did with President Bush. Opposite sides of the same coin.

Back then many on the left were nothing more than hate mongerers who refused to even look at the actual issues because they were so blinded by the hate that they had for President Bush.

And now many on the right are nothing more than hate mongerers who refuse to even look at the actual issues because they are so blinded by the hate that they have for President Obama.

The more things change.....the more they stay the same.
