YOU LIE

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W0PqBiNUyqU Joe Wilson is a powerful fool. He breaks my heart with his disrespect and his parties disrespect for the Obama presidency. If he believes so strongly about the President lying, then he should have been the one to retort against Obama's Health Care Proposal on camera instead of having admittedly a ineffectual, with nothing to loose.

This country is based on controversy and disagreement. Disagreement is what makes our country great. We can even agree to disagree, how cool is that! I understand that Wilson's constituents have entrusted him with their beliefs regarding the Health Care Proposal, but I doubt they entrusted him to call the President a liar to his face while he hides in the mass of the Republican bull pen.

This action of disrespect is very serious and dangerous. This is precisely why I am promoting the platform of manners. I know there was a more fervent and considerate way of making Wilson and his constituents feelings known. But to yell "liar" to the President is outrageous and shouldn't be tolerated. I can only hope SNL makes him the joke he is, but it shouldn't stop there. We should ignore him and his constituents until they vote in someone who can get their feelings known that doesn't resort to petty name calling like the juvenile he is.

What happens after name calling. Guns. Is that what South Carolina's Wilson is purporting? We are walking on a slippery slope. Our country has forgotten the manners of communication and debate. We must listen to all sides and make our choices. Let us not forget that we the people of the United States of America voted Barack Obama into office. For once, we need to convene as a nation. Will it take an alien invasion to unify us?
