Riddle me this:

America is “allegedly” the greatest free nation and greatest democracy the planet has ever seen (that would be American Expceptionalism I’m talking about).

Why then:

- Do we have a major government agency who hasn’t had a permanent head in 6 years?
- Do we have a congress who has NOT been able to pass a budget in YEARS, relying on damaging stopgap spending messages?
- Are we about to go over the so-called Fiscal Cliff when it all it would take is some common sense to come to a reasonable solution?
- Are there a good percentage of us willing to go to war simply because we don’t like the idea of a few extra requirements for owning guns?
- Are people dying and living in pain because they cannot afford the astronomical cost of health care or the high premiums of health insurance?
