Rough on the Porch Today…So much so I have retreated to the office, any port in a storm. I created the Back Porch to be a place where I could ponder some things, keeping it simple and have a venue where I am free to kinda cater to my preferences. The Porch is open to anyone and their opinion. There is one caveat that while not a rule is really something of great importance… civility… in words and attitude is expected… no room on the Porch for  ideologues…Ok to ponder the motivation but important to remember that pondering does not include condemning or dismissing others opinion. Having said that…allow me to offer this ponder.

How did we get this point in our Government? After the President’s speech last night, I was left with a profound sense of disappointment that reason and hope can prevail at the table and all we really can expect is more of this agenda driven behavior from both sides of the aisle. I will admit that one side was past disappointing and more toward disgusting. I am not going to let this become a rant of my personal disappointment but just an honest ponder point… Why, how did we get to this point? One group sat stone faced and belligerent and displayed a 4D attitude  that recked of, Dissatisfaction, Disconnected from reality, Disrespect of their soundings and Disobedient to established protocol all only serving to feed their Hate of anything that stood in the way of their agenda. Those of us that watch the speech…which was the longest by any President other than Bill Clinton… saw a vision of America that was and wants to be again…in sharp contrast to what it has been and is right now. SOooo…

Ponder This…Which do you prefer?
