The Great American Shame.

       In the time I spent in the hospital over the last three weeks, both in and out of consciousness, there are two subjects that come strongly to my mind. First and perhaps foremost is our Congress. Our great country stands on the threshold of solving many. if not most. of our problems in America. It will not and cannot happen.
       Every member of Congress, in both the House and Senate have completely forgotten the single most important promise they made. They each swore allegiance to the United States of America and the people of this country. That's the only allegiance they took an oath on that matters. Unfortunately all those members have sworn another oath to another entity. Their allegiance has been given to the political parties they have chosen to align with. It seems to me that such allegiances to political parties flies in the face of the demand by our constitution to give their oaths only to America.
       If we have problems in our country, the fault falls squarely in the laps of the two major political parties as well as the several smaller parties vying for attention. I fear no good will come of these special allegiances. And Our country will slip further down a path to irrelevance.
