cne32507Interesting article. Thanks. The author speaks to the ignorance of the ruling class of those who are ruled (us). He also mentioned the ruling class's (sp) hatred of half of America. But I see hatred on both sides, especially in the threads about Democrats. I, for one, will try to keep the vitriol out of my mind and speech, as no good comes from hating half of America.

flashguyI like your attitude, but there are people on the Left that even Jesus would have trouble not hating.

But while all eyes are on Donald J. Trump, think for a minute on what his presence there represents. And perhaps some of my Democratic-leaning friends and neighbors could at this point be men and women and citizens enough to forgo telling themselves a flattering just-so story, that President Trump is President Trump because of white supremacy, malevolent billionaires, and Christian fundamentalists, or — most risible of all — a little platoon of Russian trolls on Facebook. What Trump represents is the fact that while Wall Street and Harvard and Silicon Valley and the New York Times have one view of this country, its values, and its role in the world, a very large number of their fellow citizens — who are not monsters — have another view. And there are enough of them to win a presidential election, too.
Yep.
Interesting article. Thanks.
"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible."

FIFY and the author. The ruling elites, or those who view themselves as such, are going to be in for a
Yuge awakening if they keep trying to destroy this country and the majority of folks who like it the way its always been.
