Me neither, I couldn't find a vomitorium in which to watch it.

Same here, not a second of it. No radio in the car, no TV, nothing.

We can only pray that in today's world, the Presidency is a figure head, more of an acting job than an actual executive position. Surely there are qualified people behind the scenes that actually would make the decisions in a crisis.

If that's not the case and this unqualified community organizer with absolutely no experience as a leader is really in charge, we are in big freaking trouble if s serious crisis confronts us.

That said, it's worse than just having an incompetent egomaniac sitting in the oval office. Now it seems that the people behind the curtains have changed and they are in position now to steer America in another direction - socialism and no doubt down the road , world governance.

But today the America of our forefathers was dealt it's final blow. It's been a long and steady chipping away at the post WW2 America and granted some things had to change, things like segregation, equal pay and rights for women, etc.

But the foundations of our forefather's America; moral standards, the emphasis on individualism, independence, accountability above the collective will, the belief in the free enterprise economic system, these are the values that have eroded over time. Sadly, these are the things that should not have changed.

But America is getting what it deserves. America grew fat, apathetic and self-focused.

A hundred years from now, historians will be writing about the demise of America in the 21st century and people all over the global world will wonder, how did it happen, how did the most powerful country in the world fall into decline and eventually become just another country in the global village. They wil probably be as brainwashed as we are today, seeing it as a good thing that such a greedy and self-absorbed super power was brought to it's knees. That's the way the globalist will frame the decline of America.

They will be living in a very different world village, they will have no comprehension of the freedom this country once provided it's people, no sense of how an ordinary person could build themselves a fortune. Power, wealth, privilege will be restricted, reserved for the elite.

They will have no idea of how great America was, the greatest social system ever designed. It will be a chapter or two in the censored history of the world.

And today we all carry a little of the blame and the shame for letting it all die.
