I believe that the reason for often agree...Roland,<br /><br />I believe that the reason for often agreeing is that while we may come from opposite sides of the political spectrum, neither of us will sacrifice logic, reason, or common sense for the purpose of partisanship.<br /><br />As for the subject at hand, I believe that it's simply that few have been taught true American history. (Is it even in taught in school these days? Fewer still will make the smallest attempt to discover it on their own.<br /><br />What still amazes me in the piece is that I was able to make my point without pointing out "The Patriot Act", something which could have proved my point on its own.<br /><br />Thanks as always mi Amigo.Timothy W Higginshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17118861693269565715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4041089218060371051.post-20187042562425539262011-04-02T19:19:30.550-04:002011-04-02T19:19:30.550-04:00Tim,

It never ceases to amaze me that the two of us with different political perspective agree on so many things while not agreeing on so many things. The more we disagree, the more we agree. And this piece that you have written regarding the frequency with which the United States throughout history has violated the very principles upon which our country was founded is much the same as I have been opining throughout all of my adult years, of which there have been many. Why does no one seem to understand or accept these truths as you have so well described? Selective perception and reasoning, I suspect; that and complete ignorance.
