[Jamestown1630]

I’m not sure that’s true about Americans, in general.

And I don’t think that you would be on this board, if you didn’t recognize that it’s a place were MANY Americans still give evidence of higher sensibilities and respect for proven, traditional values.

Sometimes it may not seem that way, when you read the news and hear all of the awful stories. But I see respect for our heritage and its principles - and for exemplars of those - every day, here on FR. I also see it in my personal life and in people that I know and encounter.

Things aren’t as bad as some are trying to ‘brainwash’ us into thinking that they are.

.....”MANY Americans still give evidence of higher sensibilities and respect for proven, traditional values”....

I can agree but only to a point....the election showed people were angry about the way this country was heading and the leadership. Otherwise I don’t think Trump would have run had he not addressed head on the very things and ‘lack of respect’ our leaders had shown the people. .....and ‘their kind’.

In ‘my work’ I have observed a defined lack of respect from the clients served as well as toward one other. Where in my personal life my circle of friends has narrowed to those who know respect and such.

But I cannot deny some of the lack of respect comes from the hammering of those still angry and bitter over the election. It’s ‘infecting’ the country.
