“Wish we were united today.”
When a significant percentage of the population do not view the spirit of the Declaration and the content of the Constitution with reverence, and don’t feel privileged to live in the United States of America, it becomes difficult to be united as a nation.
I think your handle nickname is a misnomer...
I came here thinking I would read something happy about the Fourth of July and love of America. Instead, I read gloom and doom. What are we supposed to think instead?
Since it’s all over, we should pull down the flag, shut out the lights, and shut ‘er down? Is that right?
I’m afraid division and evil are part of this world. There is no such thing as perfect unions. You could create a new nation tomorrow and in no time at all you would find people dividing. No two humans think alike.
We’ve battled “progressives” and anarchiststs for most of our history. We managed to prevail against the communists of the Industrial Revolution and their labor union minions and labor unions are still in decline. We survived the Great Depression. We survived World War’s I and II with their Nazi’s and Fascists. We managed to shutter most of the New Deal after Roosevelt left. We survived 90% tax rates. We created the Conservative Coalition. We managed to elect Ronald Reagan. We managed to elect the Republican Revolution and kill a lot of Clinton’s agenda. Ever more restrictions upon abortion are being put into place in many states. We managed to elect Donald Trump instead of Hillary Clinton. I won’t go so far to say times are hunky dory but I ain’t giving up just like that.
Happy 4th of July, America. I still love you.
