Populist wanted

I just read the story of the 7 year old girl beaten and starved to death in NY this week. It was difficult to read without either cringing or crying. You know this kind of stuff happens every day, without anyone noticing before its too late.

Is it too much to ask that we live in a country that refuses to take advantage of children and animals in the most obscene manner. Why are stories of torture going hand in hand with stories of children and animals?

America is diseased. We may be on life support soon. This country needs the care and attention now being afforded to the country of Iraq. We have forgotten Katrina and images of floating bodies. Legislation is being passed in the halls of government bent on turning this proud country into a wasteland of depression and quiet despair.

Americanlogic calls out for a populist. Anyone who will radically shift focus from global concerns to our concerns. Our borders, our hospitals, our children. Someone who will talk passionately of freedom and opportunity for our citizens, shining it like a beacon against terrorism. Speaking of common sense and reason, reminding to tend to our own.
