It is sad that you do not see the corruption in DC as eternal. Obviously, you would be uneasy in the presence of the founders and the framers whose main object in creating our government was to check the inevitable corruption in any government. They succeeded to produce a work of genius but do not confuse their understanding of the inherent corruption in governments with lack of patriotism- as you seem in these exchanges to be prone to do.
I have unbounded faith and confidence in the United States, the country but virtually no faith or confidence in the government which reposes in Washington DC. I advise you to wake up, you can be better than Pollyanna.
your negativity is a reflection of your soul
In your repeated insults you have now moved on to judge my soul and it is regrettable, although illuminating, that by this latest insult you brought religion into this discussion. Obviously, you are ignorant of the Judeo-Christian fundamental belief in the inherent corruption of man. I suggest you bone up on the Old and the New Testament.
Have a look at Dennis Prager who makes rather compelling arguments that whether one is leftist or rightist depends on whether one believes in the inherent goodness of man. Leftists believe in the inherent goodness of man, the inherent perfectibility of man, and find evil not in wrongdoers but in bad social programs. Those who are not naïve understand the fallen nature of man, his need for redemption, and his responsibility for his actions. The divine truths of the Bible are not negative, they are realistic. Yes I am negative about Washington DC, that is the place that gave us first prohibition and now the war on drugs. That is the difference between government and country, between naivety and realism.
We lost the war called "prohibition," just as we have lost the war on drugs. Are you prepared to get used to losing the war called "prohibition"? Oh, how negative you have become!
Do not confuse dreams with patriotism. Sunshine patriots live in dreams but real patriots live in reality.
how gracious of you.
I said I was content to let the reader judge I did not presume to grant the reader the right to judge. This is typical of your twists.
