I'm in my early sixties, and sick to my stomach with the mess we're in!

Are we at a point of no return? I am just a wrench monkey, I surely can't answer. Are we in trouble because of so much information? Probably? Remember your parents voting? I don't, I guess they did but I never knew it.

I know that I will never vote for Billary or Sanders. I don't know who I will vote for, I think they all suck. Let me in that office. I'll fix this crap in one day. Cut off the dole. Get a damn job or starve. If you have kids then they go in to a program for education, real education, not this stupid ass crap they have now. Yep, that would cost some money but when you aren't paying the whore parent maybe things would turn out right. JMO.

I'm an old geezer so like most old geezers I'm required to think that the world is going to hell in a handbasket. (whatever that is)
I think the big slide began around the early '80s when the "progressives" began making noises about how all cultures were equally valid. It's only picked up speed since then.

I believe your right about it starting in the 80's..

But I also think the last great President we had was Kennedy..

No, it could not have happened in the 80s. I was in the USMC at the time. I would have stopped all of this. It was the 90s. Really, think about it. Oh well, it makes no difference, we are screwed. Have a great Marine Corps day.

Another geezer here, too. Unfortunately, I think it started with my generation in the 60's. The Peace & free love movements along with the anti-war protests probably gave rise to more progressive/dem groups than we'd like to believe. Morals went out the door.

The rule of law has fell by the wayside racial divide is worse that I have sen in my lifetime.

Morality and child rearing as also falling upbringing isn't what it use to be. Make a long story

short we all see reasons for America's slide. Now we must find reason to reverse it and unite.

The divide that has been created benefits only the ones in power.

Divide and conquer. Just my take. ps

Trucker nice essay thanks

It started before the ink was dry on the Declaration.
We started becoming what we wanted to get away from at Day 1.

I believe Bull Barrel hit it on head. I am not only an old Geezer but a history buff.

When we read not only the Declaration of Independence and Constitution, then the massive correspondence, minutes of the conventions, and the Federalist Papers written by our Founders, it is plain that our Founders during the years of the formation of our Nation experienced some of the same things that are happening today.

In fact the record shows that this is the reason that it took years for the Constitution, including the Bill of Rights, to actually get finally written as we have them today. When we read the record of the founding if our nation, it is clear that we were warned about what and how it could happen, from their own experiences, and our Founders were right.

Even as far back as the Jefferson Administration, and especially the Andrew Jackson, era, there was infiltration of individuals and groups that we now label Democrats, Socialists, Extremists, Populous, Communists, Traitors, Frauds, and other labels for those who have always opposed our Constitution and God Given Liberty Rights.

The efforts of defending our Liberty has always ebbed and flowed, suffered defeats from time to time, but more so in the Jackson era and again starting in early 1900, to the quandary that we now face.

We are now so far from the liberty that our Constitution was created to protect that I have serious doubts that we will survive with any liberty intact. I fear we have passed the tipping point and the enemy have won. I am almost certain that at my age I will not live to see America again become the Liberty Standard bearer for the World as we were at one time.

As I have written here before, I believe Cicero was right when he wrote, over 2,000 years ago, that our greatest danger is those within the system, whose goals, are to destroy our liberty for their political advantage, supported by those who compromise with the enemy within. We all know who and what our enemy is, we have them labeled, although many, perhaps most will not publicly admit it.
