Lately it seems as though the ideological divide in this country is wider than ever. Partisan bickering between the Left and the Right has developed into outright hostility. That's why I think it is time to remember the things we can all agree on, whether Democrat, Republican, or Independent. At some point, we must set our differences aside and find some common ground, so that we can start working together to improve the country we all love. The following is a list (in no particular order):
1. Freedom
2. Justice
3. Opportunity for All
4. Independence/ Self-sufficiency
5. Optimism
6. Persistence
7. Hard Work
8. Innovation
9. Entrepreneurial Spirit
10. Common Sense
Reading through the list, you might question whether some or all of these truly apply, given the current state of affairs. We have certainly fallen short of living up to these ideals many times in the past. But, can't we all agree that they are worth pursuing? In my opinion, American society is on a perilous path if we turn away from these values. It's time to refocus.
Do you agree? What do you think?
