    Quoting  :

I agree with you on this comment. It has, in fact, been going on a lot longer than we probably realize. How do politicians stay in office for decades, and their districts, in fact the whole country, get in worse condition and they get richer and richer?
Why are we just really starting to see it? Is it because we are older, less involved with family and working, so we are paying more attention to politics and government? Or perhaps, it has just gotten so bad that it can't be ignored any longer?
Perhaps a bit of both.......... I talk to younger people in our area, and many have no clue what is happening on the national or even state level in the government. They are busy with jobs and family. When they see some of the news about young people wanting free stuff, they are appalled, because they work for what they want, not expecting the government to give it to them.
My grand daughter who recently passed her bar exam and became a lawyer, was hesitant to even take the exam because she did not like the "world" of lawyers and politicians that she saw while in school and interning.
I don't think any of us "common" folks really understand the corruption and deceit that is in the world of politics at the state and federal levels.


Be a prism, spreading God's light and love, not a mirror reflecting the world's hatred.

Once again, Einstein, you are confusing correlation with causality.

When discussing anything with Bigblock it's helpful to know that he is incapable of either thinking or writing or both. Even his single sentence comments are copied. When I confront him with this, he lobs nonsensical insults.......He can't answer your questions until he finds an appropriate quote online. That's why his answers often only approximate the subject matter.......I'm not saying this to dis Bigblock, but just so you understand what you're dealing with........

This is an example of the Christian Nationalism that is gathering strength in America.......It's always been there, but now it's coalescing under Trump.....Using the word "sacrosanct" in this context is extremely disturbing and dangerous.....pay attention America......

What's amiss is that there is no connection between his heart and mind......or between his brain and mind for that matter......

The right to have arms was meant for the citizens to have the same weapons as the government . King George vs the minutemen.

People still fear government and the bad guys. The NRA plays upon that.
Gun registration would help bad government take away their weapons.
City guys on the shooting range fantasize defending themselves from government gone bad like it was in Germany. If the Jews would have had assault rifles in every house ?????

It is not about hunting. It is about Waco, Ruby Ridge and the Native American standoff with government on their reservation. It can & does happen here.

Then you have the whackos who think they are (patriotic) and want to shoot
people because the president calls them invaders.

Assault rifles should be banned along with large bullet clips.-----regardless of why anyone wants them.

What's next? The National Tank & sub machine gun Association??
I could design a drone to drop water balloons on wild life & create a new sporting event but I retired from making stuff. LOL

America is now land of drug crazed Christian gun worshipers
under the repub capitalistic corporate umbrella of government.

So I just go fishing-----mow the grass & let those who know what it is all about----screw things up worse than our generation did or fix it.

They do need to carry the trash out to the street.
Party on
