The people of the United States have pretty much had it with the countrys major institutions, as faith in everything from the banks and newspapers to organized religion and TV news has taken a big hit in recent years, according to a recent Gallup poll.

It’s because all are chasing after worthless lucre.
Why should I believe in them?
I love the fact that one thing consicously NOT mention hered
A President who shows an utter contempt for reason, fact and the rule of law.
Bush didn’t help, neither.
I notice it gained when GWB was elected. Only to start sliding when the Dems were elected to take over Congress. It has stayed in the basement ever since. But none of the numbers are high anyway.
People are tired of the double standard, particularly with government institutions. They lie to us constantly, but see what happens when they think you lie to them.
It would appear that the minister of hate and change has been quite successful in destroying the country. The Obama crime family is not going away as soon as people think.
Unfortunately, although they know things are all screwed up, they don’t really know why. So as likely as not many of them will vote for Hillary to fix it.
Let’s hope that the Donald does better than she does.
Cynic Nation
One man’s cynic, is another’s realist.
Yeah, time to attack Bush, not the muslim faggot.
Just saying both parties are to blame, and Trump, might be the only one who has a chance to break the mold.
It is not possible to have faith in societal and governmental institutions when you are an honest, hard-working, law-abiding person and you find your freedoms, finances and culture have been deliberately undermined by those same institutions.
Good. Prime time to turn away from trusting in man which carries a curse, back to trusting in the Lord which carries a blessing (Jer 17:5-8).
May America’s God once again be the Lord, in Jesus name.
I have not.
My faith is in God.
He has everything under control...................
Not only have people lost faith in organized religion, they even have lost faith in TV news.

I got a truckload of faith...Hail Odin!
Shall we gather at the longboat,
The beautiful, the beautiful longboat?
Shall we gather at the longboat,
And row to the Halls of Asgard? ;)
