Meh. Not really.
Oh, by all means, school me on how the world works - :-)

1835-1910 – Samuel “Mark Twain” Clemens
“I have never let my schooling interfere with my education.”
1874–1965 - Winston Churchill
“If you're not a liberal at twenty you have no heart, if you're not a conservative at forty you have no brain.”
“Schools have not necessarily much to do with education... they are mainly institutions of control, where basic habits must be inculcated in the young. Education is quite different and has little place in school.”
Plus, Christians are reporting they are far better off under Hezbollah.
One thing he or she has not yet learned, apparently, is how to treat others with respect. An essential tool in life is missing from his well-traveled toolbox. OR, blatant narcissism is taking over.

He’s not one of my favorite people... but the country loved him during the war.
When I think of “great” Presidents, it’s a short list:
Reagan, Teddy R, Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, and George Washington.
As an historian, you must realize by now that Eisenhower was not only a fairly good President especially compared to this one, but that the country has been on an progressively downward spiral since St. John, Holy Martyr of Hyannis stole the election of 1960, immediately plunging us into war (against Eisenhower's advice) on a "no-win" basis and a "celebrity" style of governance that has led us to ruin.
Culturally speaking, the older population of the country is quite diverse. Many can be forgiven for lamenting the ruin of a country that was a well-off and functional nation until quite recently in historical terms. Many of us are boring old farts, but I must say you show every sign of becoming "quod sum, tu eris" yourself.
Republicans should let all the democrats vote then vote “present”. Let the democrats own it.
