When is a good idea bad? We the People need Help!

This is a post I thought I would never write, but, after a weekend of following the 912 Project very closely, participating and writing many a post myself, I can see where the whole idea went wrong! America is just way too divided!
Like it or not, all of us are different, way different, I mean how the heck do you think Obama got elected to begin with? I love the thought that we could all “get along”, but this does not seem to be the case. There are so many people, citing the very same things as a reason to disagree, what is that?
As terrible as this is going to sound, the differences are not at this point insignificant enough, for us all to get over ourselves! I know that I am an opinionated asshole, but I have found that I am way less of an asshole than many others out there! I honestly believe that in order for us all to get back to that 9/12 feeling, we are going to have to have another 9/11 event! The back-biting, name calling, and so on are absolutely unbearable, and I was not the one being attacked!
The one being attacked is, America, yes, our beloved country. Why do I say this? Because it is the very things that our country is about, our freedoms, our liberties, our laws, and our very way of life! Some just cannot move on, they have been taught that anything that does not sound like what they have heard in the past is wrong, “We the People” have become deaf! “We the People” have become, “We the Mob”!
Though most of the “idiots” belong to the same group, and their numbers are few, very few, like maybe 5 or 6 out of 190,198+ it is becoming obvious that we need help in this country. We need to all learn that right is right and wrong is wrong. I am so disappointed, I feel like I did that first time I got lied to by my first girlfriend. Glenn Beck didn’t let me down, my fellow Americans did. We truly are too didvided to get along!
These divisions include everything from rich vs poor to blue vs green! What would seem obvious to me, just seems like too much of a reach for others. Why can’t we all just get along? I fear that our country is headed for a really bad spot, maybe like once before. I am not worried that “my side” will lose, I am worried that “my country” will.
Watch this video, maybe it will inspire you, maybe it will make you mad, I just hope that it helps you see which side you are on!

I want to make sure to clear up what I am trying to say in the above post. I am NOT trying to put anyone down, and I include myself as being part of the problem. I just feel that we are and have been asleep at the wheel for a very long time now. With a group of people this large, not everyone will agree with every little detail, that is ok, it is the back-biting and petty bickering over these little disagreements. I am a firm believer in us, the American people, and now that a new category "Glenn's Wish List" has been added, there is a more "directed" discussion, one that appears to show more agreements than disagreements, this is basically what I was trying to say that we needed. In the beginning we were just acting like a mob, I am sorry if I offended anyone, I just wanted us to have a common purpose and direction.
