After much reflection and after reading resources provided by several of my commenters here I have come to the conclusion that I have been wrong about several things. I have taken the last ten days or so and read the health care law (PL 111-148) and see that it actually benefits more than it hurts. It has some things I do not care for but overall it is a good thing.
I have been reading some of President Obama’s initiatives and find that more and more I fall in line with what he proposes. I have issues with some of the things but for the most part I am in line with him on them.
I am still skeptical about global warming but can see, from the stuff I was provided, that I need to give it a closer look.
The cap and trade system is not great but I might be able to get on board if they make a few changes. I think what Lindsay Graham and John Kerry are working on might be something I could support.
I have been watching Bill Maher and even though I find him obnoxious I can see his points on many things. I believe that my alignment with TEA Party members might have been a mistake.
We need to have a less toxic political environment and I think it is time for me to get on board with helping to remake the country.
Thanks to all who have sent me links to fascinating pieces of well researched information and for those who have helped to steer me in a better direction.
I have finally seen the light.
And for that I thank you.
