Say what you will about the author but remember that this is not the same country, in many respects, as it was before Lyndon Johnson created his 'Great Society' back in 1964. Many norms have deteriorated since that time. Now it is OK if Sally has two daddies and no mommy. Now it is OK to destroy a human life before he/she sees the light of day. Now it is OK if a tree frog has precedent over a highrise building. Now it is OK for leaders to lie to the public as long as the lie is about sex.
I agree with the author that this country is in serious trouble when, after 222 years, we are still trying to determine what the meaning of 'is' is........

Lately, I have been having serious thoughts, wondering if somehow we could break up the union and form two or three countries. I would gladly live in one of those interior states where the old values were respected. It seems that this country is not the country I grew up in and loved. I think that is what this thread is about,,what is becoming of us, it seems about half the people in this country would see us destroyed by islamofascists so they could sit in political power again. I just feel so sad about it. I want a new country, a brand new one.
