What does Rush want? Does he really want our President to fail? According to the statements carried by the news channels, he does. Everyone is entitled to his or her own opinion, this is after all America and we are all granted free speech. However, when free speech becomes a method of inciting people not to use their common sense and to close their minds to new opportunities and new ways of doing things, it becomes worrysome.

When people refuse to change or even listen to the concept of change, we all lose. This nation was created from change. Change from the oppression of the English kings, change to be allowed to worship and speak without fear of retribution. One of our basic freedoms is to speak our minds without fear of being shot or imprisoned.

There are individuals on both sides that try to use fear to create a state of confusion about what is happening or what is going to happen. They want us to be as afraid as they are of the future. They want to live in the past as long as it is their past. They want the future as long as it is the future they design perpetuating their views and ideals. They are afraid of anything that they didn't design from the ground up and monitored everything along the way. Anyone who doesn't believe as they do is evil and should be avoided.

None of us is pure evil and none of us is perfect.
