Then Trump became president. By playing only to his followers instead of the nation, he made things worse.

Where we go from here is anyone's guess, but I fear things may get worse before they get better.

I deleted a long post. But will say this , politics is using racism, and racism is using politics. My race is banned from having any race specific groups, clubs, churches, schools political representation. Other races are not, and in fact encouraged to do so, along with having race specific social benefits. The cure to 21st. century racism is not more racism. Politicians are using every tool, be it race, alphabet group or cause to advance party. No concern for morals, right, wrong or for good of America. Americans getting along as a whole, is the last thing our government wants, in fact the government fears it !!


you're only allowed so many sunrises... I aim to see every one of them!

Wolfdog91,
Easy answer on this one as we read these posts.
For the humanists (humans hold the keys to truth) among us to gain more respect and wrangle for what humanists always seek; power...
all other options, topics, categories, groups, things, must be diminished.
So humanist politics must invade all things to deliver the humanists brand of truth to all things.

Their plan is age old.

Blessings,
Mark

This image explains Obama well. A SCOTUS decision that was so divisive in the first place and what does Obama do as President? He openly flaunts it.

Everywhere? You mean everywhere as in everything fed to us.

There had to be at least 2,000 people coming and going at the festival I attended yesterday. People from all walks of life, rural and urban vacationers mingling. Smiles everywhere, conversations everywhere about cars, produce, kids, everything but politics. It was a great day.

Think back to race relations before Obama was elected. For the most part everything was pretty good. A ton of people voted for him just to show that they weren’t racist. His administration used race to push their agenda along with the media. Step back and think what we are being told. Daily we a slammed with how racist American is but if that’s true. How in the world did we have a black president? If American is so racist why are minorities coming by the thousands over or borders risking life and limb to get here? The answer is the leftist and the media are pushing race like they have for the last 150 years to further there agenda. Most don’t know the facts so they fall for it. Here’s a good example of a fact they don’t broadcast.

17 unarmed black people have been shot by cops this year. 33 unarmed white people have been shot by cops this year. You don’t here that on the news!

Another is Asian hate crimes. Where in the world did that come from. I had no idea I didn’t like Asian folk until a couple months ago crazy research the attacks that have happened and I bet you will be surprised by what race is responsible for most of the attacks.

The truth is I and many rednecks like me don’t have a racist bone in our body. I don’t care what color you are or where you’re from. Work hard be a good citizen is all I ask.

Obama was merely the latest itteration of a progressive slide that has been happening since at least Wilson.

Barry did the rainbow thing no problem but would not do the blue thing when 5 Officers were murdered in Dallas but he was anti-American as they come!

“The counterrevolution to the American Revolution is in full force. And it can no longer be dismissed or ignored, for it is devouring our society and culture, swirling around out everyday lives, and ubiquitous in or politics, schools, media, and entertainment. Once a mostly unrelatable, fringe, and subterranean movement, it is here—it is everywhere. You, your children, and your grandchildren are now immersed in it, and it threatens to destroy the greatest nation ever established, along with your freedom, family, and security. Of course, the primary difference between the counterrevolution and the American Revolution is that the former seeks to destroy American society and impose autocratic rule, and the later sought to protect American society and institute representative government “ Mark R. Levin

If you don’t have his new book American Marxism get it

Darwinism and Marxism have rotted countless minds, hearts, and souls.
These religions are false yet embraced and even adored by many in the 21st century.

Teaching has focused on both of these ideologies for nearly two centuries and it has worked for the one and those who wanted these seeds sown.

Blessings,
Mark

If a person wants to stay up with the times and understand what is going on around us you had better study and learn about Marxism. Even if they don't want to label it as Marxism it is what's happening. It's been tried before so it's results are known. Educate yourself.

Yes sir, it’s a uphill battle. Folks are bombarded from all sides on so many issues. Race, man made climate change, on and on. Hard for the common working man to keep up with and the Marxist know it.

Obama was a disaster in lots of ways. Trump was disaster in lots of way and an overcorrection for Obama. Biden is a disaster in lots of ways and another overcorrection.

What this country needs is a time out from the chaos. We need 4-8 years of a moderate--someone who is not interested in retooling this country in favor of one group or another. We are likely past that point though.

America is a country of extremist..The founding fathers were extreme in their view of the idea of freedom from their former type of rulers. People that came legally or illegally. Take or took the extreme personal risk that they were doing so for a better life.
When I was a kid and doctors started beating up on the American life style. Lot the doctors would say all things where good in moderation. But Americans are risk takers can't take risk in moderation. Super Size Me..
I believe most people probably are more moderate than they know or would like to be more moderate.
Marketing and even politicians how ever have us thinking that everything is a competition. You have to be the best, buy the best, super size your burger and all things in your life. Run the fastest jump the highest, take the trip and run that zip line threw the jungle. My life style is the only life style..Anyone gets in your way run them over get yours before they take it all. All your business is now my business to mind too so do it my way.
What the past two administrations have managed to do along with the speed at which information travels. Is give voice to the extremist in their parties. So there is no room to be a moderate find middle ground.
I recall when Trump said "Your either with me or against me." Well I can agree with many things Trump and I could agree with lots of things Obama. But I'm not someone going to kiss their ring and be all or nothing slobbering at their feet. I reserve the right as a moderate to question any and all things. I always have. For that I get called names by people from both sides of the playing field.
We are at a point where extremist control the voice of both parties each calling the others haters. To much all or nothing thinking done by 1/3 of the wing nut people. While the the rest sit and listen to the crap they spew try to go with least objectionable option.
I can't say that I know how it's going to all play out. In the 1960s the hippies would have said people need to chill out. Guess that didn't happen then either or wouldn't be here like things are now.
So gotta just sit back let the name calling start see how all plays out.. I think most people just want to be left alone go about their business. But then that would be un-American wouldn't it.

As we move further into a government run economy, where almost half the the economy is government spending, the more important it is to people what the government does. When you are dependant on someone, you are concerned about them. When I was young people didn't really seem to care what they did in D.C. because it really didn't affect them so much. Now the Feds control much more of the State and local issues and peoples personal lives'. After my second year of the Presidents banning my customers for no logical reason, going into the third, it is having an affect on me. Wesly Mouch could not have central planned any more ludicrously.

My hope is this mismanagment of the corona bologna will open many peoples eyes to the somple fact the the most dangerous nine words in the english language is......... ?

"Government spending is the second largest component of GDP, but is well behind consumer spending. Government spending was 9.1% in 1929 and fairly stable until the U.S. entered WWII. During the period from 1929 through 1940, government spending averaged 14.2% of total U.S. GDP. When the U.S. entered the war, government spending rose sharply. In fact, from 1941 to 1945, government spending as a percentage of total GDP averaged a staggering 39.4%. Since the end of WWII, it has been stable, averaging 20.2% of total U.S. GDP.

Last year Government spending was a staggering 44% with no world war. The year before it was a staggering 36% with no world war. Apparently we arestaggering always now.

staggering stăg′ər-ĭng►
adj. Causing great astonishment, amazement, or dismay; overwhelming.
