Until our nation turns back to God we will continue to devolve into the destruction of our own making.
“What were the particular issues involved here?”
What significant issues do you agree with Pelosi, Schumer and Reid?
And do you think that we on the right are desperate for a candidate that will compromise with them?
QUESTION OF THE DECADE!!!!
John Hawkins gets it. Great piece... should have been 5 separate columns... or a book... or two.
“...When a nation is beset by problems too big or too difficult to solve...”
Sorry. Right out of the gate with BS...
The ONLY reason we have ‘problems’ is because of GOVT exceeding their legal, Constitutional boundaries, that the rest of D.C. and, more importantly, We the People, refuses to put back in their pen!
IMO, we will never, repeat, NEVER, be able to ‘fix’ inner-cities until the citizens of those cesspools wish to change their CULTURE.
IME, it’s a great disservice to lump Asians, Indians, etc. into the same pool when it is shown, time and time again, *they*, though resides of the same areas, don’t have the same/extent-of ‘problems’.
“What are you so mad about?...”
There’s plantation living even in the GOP/(R)/(C). Woe be upon those that point out THEIR emperor has no clothes.
Excellent post. The author should also have mentioned the unionization of public employees and their subsequent domination of State and municipal governments, as well as the institutionalization of the environmental movement which, having essentially achieved its goals, now seeks primarily to preserve itself.
Except for the massive debt, the same thing was happening in the 1970’s, only the violent crime rate was higher. The Reagan Presidency helped right things some. A Trump Presidency could do the same.
Yes. Super.
I don’t buy the division of the campaigns of the Cold War (which was really WW III fought in slow-motion thanks to nuclear deterrence) into separate “wars” to make the U.S. look like a loser.
We won. The Soviet Union is no more. Communism has dwindled from a civilization-threatening inhuman ideology to a strange form of dynastic depostism (Cuba and the DRPK) or turned into fascism (China and Vietnam). Grenada was important — it proved the Bezhnev Doctrine false — but add to that SDI, complete with the faked telemetry that convinced the Soviet General Staff that it was much better than it actually was, throwing them into a panic so that business as usual didn’t continue and Gobrachev was picked as General Secretary of the CPUSSR with his reform ideas that proved Communism to be a hollow husk when they were implemented, and Reagan’s “stealth” victory in the Cold War was an absolute triumph.
And, a hearty thank you to all the WW III (Cold War) vets whether your particular campaign was a draw (Korea), a loss (Vietnam) or a win (Grenada, the Berlin airlift, covert ops in places we held against Communism, or work at home on SDI).
51 is gone.
what AD???
...the outer cities quit subsidizing more and more of what the inner cities produce.

Amen.
Yes.
I see all kinds of brightness in young people’s eyes, but the intelligence has declined. They just don’t know.
And other countries have eclipsed us in R&D.
You can’t have it both ways: baseline monetary support for the poor and cutting edge industry.
This has me really low.
Bingo.
Ted really missed a golden opportunity to show some statesman-like leadership and bearing in this moment. Instead, he came off like a defensive, desperate, candidate. Didn’t do much to bolster the image he’s trying to project.
To be fair, Donald muffed the moment, as well, as did Carson. They’ve all got to get a grip and show some composure under fire. It’s kinda what the people are looking for in their next President.
