Life experience and the years I wore the uniform.
I knew a lot of Republicans and Democrats when I served but many "liberals."
BTW, I should I have said "liberals" not Democrats. My mistake.
Unfortunately, IMO, the Democratic party has been taken over by left-wing nuts. No more individual freedom just fascism with a smiley face. Everyone is entitled to everything at the expense of everyone else and the government will run everything. What ever happenend to a hand up not a hand out?
They're not any better than the ring-wing zealots in the Republican party that want the government to legislate morality.
The swing to the right has been so harsh, that a backlash may have swung too far left. Most americans are just counting the minutes till bush leaves office.
(Repub's and Dems alike)
The hate level is high and most are just exhausted. For the most part ,ive seen most people in the center, which is good.
