   How do they not cooperate already? I mean, I know the media always tells us that the "left" and right don't cooperate. I know the two parties obviously compete for every elected office with one another. But honestly, beyond the empty platitudes, how are the two parties in power not cooperating?

      If they're flapping together, they're not completely in harmony making for a bumpy, erratic flight

   No. That is basically why nothing can get resolved is because politicians are going by personal feelings instead of doing what is best for the American people. Especially the tea party.

      I think your right! Going by one's personal feelings is definitely a huge part of the problem

   Well that's interesting. Since when is there a 'left' in the United States?

      The "Left" are Liberals and have been around 100's of years.

      There's only a small American left, in the European sense of one. Most of it is the dishwater version of the left we call liberalism or progressivism. It's still left of center, though.

      Sorry, living abroad the last 30 years has given me an extremely different view of what 'left' is.

   The worst, most fascist periods in US history, the times that saw the most rapid destruction of liberty, are those when one party dominated the federal government. Why on Earth would we want them to cooperate? Gridlock is good. When the two major parties are spending all their time trying to rip out one another's throats, we are much safer.

      Let me rephrase that: it's better than the alternative.

   There is only the illusion of left and right. The Corporate Party is the only party that matters. America is not dead, yet, but almost. It has been slowly dismantled for the last 100 years, but the dismantling has accelerated since 9/11.
   
   Fly? Yes! Toward oblivion! It's not a conspiracy theory any more. It's happening right before our eyes. Alas! So many are gripped in Normalcy Bias and cannot see past the Corporate Party media kool-aid.
   
   Don't be fooled like the Germans of 80 years ago. The patterns of their demise have started again. We've had our Reichstag fire (9/11), and it was blamed on a convenient patsy. We've had our shredding of the Constitution, just like the Germans (UnPatriot, NDAA with its indefinite detention clauses for American citizens, Obama's Kill List including Americans, Obama bypassing Congress to go to war with Libya, and much, much more). We've also had our wars to protect the Homeland Security, just like Germany. It all sounded so patriotic, until the Germans realized that Hitler want much, much more. Our generals sound patriotic, too, but our soldiers aren't so certain any more. An overwhelming majority of them voted for Dr. Ron Paul with their monetary contributions -- more than all other candidates combined (including Romney and Obama).
   
   And so do the Rockefellers and Rothschilds want much more. They're dismantling America, piece-by-piece. The financial markets are already talking about the currency to replace the dollar. Will it be the new Amero? Will America be dissolved in favor of the North American Union? And how long will it take for America to be merged with the EU and the Asian Union soon to come?
   
   If the Rockefellers get their way, we'll all be microchipped and enslaved. But that's okay. They're not going to win. The Heavenly Father will see to that. It breaks my heart though, that hundreds of millions of people will die.
   
   Prepare for the storm, and may God protect you.

   To get this recession straightened out, it will take bipartisanship and shared sacrifice. Politicians need to stop playing the blame game, pointing fingers and do what their constituents hired them to do.                                                                                       There is enough blame on both sides to go around if they want to play that game. We all know the policies that the Republicans put into place that started this downward spiral, but in the interest of fairness, Democrats had two years with a majority in both houses and failed to put a single bill on the floor.                               The time for petty bickering among party lines is over. It is time to pull together and fix the problem. The lives and the livelihood of the American people and future generations is what is at stake.
