The whining, name calling and threats on both sides has been rising to unprecedented levels. War plans have helped fuel debates and further divide those with extreme views.

Opinions are easy to make and disseminate. We have print such as newspapers, books and magazines, radio with talk shows, TV/Cable with news and commentary by talking heads and the Internet to spread it out to anyone willing to watch, read and listen.

Each side, liberal and conservative attack each other like they were defending a religion. In deed, it is a religion to them. They get indignant that anyone would question their political beliefs. They think (their) God is a liberal or conservative, a Republican or Democrat.

Both sides are wrong.

The real truth is somewhere between the extremes. It is not conservative or liberal. Republican or Democrat.

God is not a religion.

I don't want to pray at your media churches, or genuflect at your news cameras. I have had enough of the blather, and the parochial views from each side. The spin is enough to make me sick.

Take it somewhere else or better yet, just shut up!
