I'm perfectly happy with that. Never had it so easy.
What, you worried about the "poor people?"
That's a laugh.


Good grief, you sound like as big of a jackass as harry.

Ask yourself ... honestly ... the famous question:

Is the USA (and the rest of the world for that matter) and their
respective citizens better off today than it was a decade ago?

Just on the domestic front:

Drug addiction, people on medication for depression, racial strife and
political polarization have never been so prevalent. Individual choices
have given way to "Common Core" concepts and federal mandates. State's
rights have diminished (love to see that subject challenged in the
Supreme Court) with the Federal government becoming more and more
intrusive and controlling while demonstrating how incompetent it is.

Yup, the "progressive" way is really working miracles as it continues to
infect and destroy traditional values and expectations.

Maybe some of the principles and values of 19th century thinkers should
be reconsidered. Time to wake up and say "enough is enough".

There is absolutely no doubt that the progressives have destroyed the ideals that once made the USA a mighty and strong nation, both internally and in the eyes of the rest of the world. We are well down the path of becoming another Greece, and the liberals are too myopic to see that.

I just hope that, as a nation, we'll be able to see that and turn away from the destructive path the liberals have put us on.
