Two parties, two very different conventions

Two parties, two very different conventions



Boy if that isn't a understatement.

Last week, you witnessed a parade of deceit, and hate. This week, you witnessed truth, and an overwhelming display of love. A love of country. A love of family. True stories of how life can change when any of us apply ourselves.

For myself, the best line of the night, that really summed up "The American Dream", is that it is "A Relay Race". It just doesn't get any simpler then that folks. When I was growing up, my grandparents share-cropped, saved, and bought their own land. The kids, our parents, saw how tough it was for them and set out to make life better for their parents, and their own families. And that relay race still goes on today. We challenge our kids to be better, learn, and always lend a hand whenever possible.

And then there is the republican party. The slogan they use is "Believe in America". Who hasn't? After what they, and their corporate handlers did to this country, look at how we came together to clean up the mess they made? That alone is a testament of the spirit of the American people. When they said "Let it Fail", we said no. When they said, "They are not even thinking about Osama bin Laden", we have a president who was.

I just could not to bring myself to the point of watching the parade of deceit, and hate. The world they live in must completely suck. Sane people just don't want to have anything to do, or say to them. Maybe that's why they are, the way they are.  Yeah, the title of this article is indeed, an understatement.
