It seems to me that the reason the Left and Right have such a rift between them in this country today is due to words. That's right WORDS. The vocabulary of each side is so distinctly different from the other that we are having a difficult time communicating our actual intended thoughts. Being the moderator that I am, here is a guideline to help all of those on the left and right understand one another.

What the Left Says
1. Tea Baggers
2. Congress need to pass..
3. I will create 1.2 million jobs

5. Maybe my Jobs bill was to big for Republicans to understand
6. We don't like the 9-9-9 plan
7. We want the rich to pay their fair share
8. We will make America Great Again
9. There was a Tea Party Rally with 5,000 in attendance
10. The Occupy protest had strong numbers
11. Tea Partiers are using strong language and have violent tendancies
12. Occupy protesters are passionate about their cause
What the Left Means
1. We Hate We Hate We Hate the Tea Party
2. Republicans need to abandon their principals
3. I will take more tax money to give to unions
4. War hero's who risked their lives for freedom
5. It's 10lbs of Manure in a 5lb bag
6. Damn thing might just work
7. And buy rich we mean anyone with a disposable income
8. Remember the days before the revolutionary war..ahhh the good ole days
9. WTF how did 100,000 people just show up at this thing?!
10. Even with our reporters joining in we could only muster 75 people
11. They are speaking the truth and are going to vote in the next election
12. They are raping women and crapping on Police cars
Ronald Reagan told the story of a republican politician who came to a democratic state to give a stump speech. He could only find one farmer to listen to him. He asked the farmer for something to stand on to deliver his speech. The farmer pointed to a mound of horse manure so he climbed up and started to pontificate. Afterwords the farmer said, "that was pretty good, it was the first time I have ever liked a republican speech." the politician said "thanks, it was the first time I have ever delivered a republican message from a democratic platform."

Life, Liberty and the American Way
Recently the Kiwanis club held an awards ceremony at the Olive Garden but when they tried to bring in the American flag they were told by the store operators that it would 'upset' the dining experience for other patrons... UPDATE Corporate moguls at Olive Garden HQ have released a statement saying it was a terrible mistake and a misunderstanding of their corporate policy.
Recently a Starbuck's Coffee house in Arizona decided on a policy to not allow legal gun carrying customers into their stores. Upon public outrage the Corporate moguls said they had reversed their policy saying "Why pick a fight we can't win".
It appears that the liberal agenda to stigmatize patriotism and our 2nd amendment rights completely fails when 'We The People' actually have a say. We vote with our Debit Cards and the threat of the loss of income seems to be a pretty good motivator to keep these socialist loving moguls in check. But the trend is one that should have us vigilant in our own practice of patriotism.
As Veteran's Day approaches on November 11th this year we should display our American Flags as a statement of our own patriotism. I also recommend taking note, as a consumer, to stores and companies who refuse to display their patriotism. If your favorite store does not display an American Flag on November 11th, tell them that you are very disappointed at their lack of respect for those who served and fought for our right to free speech and that you are exercising yours by looking for another place to shop. Let your voice be heard. Don't allow the liberal media and leftest moguls win by letting another great American celebration go unnoticed in your community.
I for one plan to display the American Flag and attend a local event honoring veterans.
How about you?
