I see people upset - but they just turn off the TV, and do nothing.

I also see that although all of us are shocked that he could get this far in such a short time - most people have not even realized the danger of going socialistic.

We have a dumbed down society, we have the young who have been spoiled and are looking for another parent to pay for everything and this generation does not have the moral character to uphold the sanctity of life which will lead to withdrawing of health care of the weak and elderly and enshrine abortion at all stages.

Then add in the overall corruption in government demonizing any true candidate that would work for the people (as evidenced by Sarah and now Rush), and we have the end of America approaching fast.

We are just becoming unworthy of God’s help in preserving this nation and without God’s protective hand, we are at the mercy of any politician becoming president.

The more that decisions are made by government and the less by businesses and citizens the more corruption must exist. Communist governments are utterly corrupt. Socialist governments marginally less so. It has to be that way. If you need bureaucrats to approve of your every decision instead of market conditions determining them then your aim must be to satisfy the bureaucrat, not the market. Baksheesh is cheaper than waiting for documents to be properly prepared and legally secured. Competition then is based on access to bureaucrats and politicians, not on market conditions and customer satisfaction.

You sound like you have given up and have no hope. I'm not there yet. Were things not bad in the 1930s and early 1940s? We had a horrific depression that dragged on for more than 10 years, a maniacal murdering madman taking over Europe, and then we get hit by a surprise Japanese attack. Could things have looked much worse? Yet, we were victorious in the war and the economy roared back.

Is not God a Father who corrects His children when they need it to get them back on a more righteous path? Things are bad right now and could get much worse, but I believe this country may be the better for it on the other side.
