You Can Just Feel Like The Country Is Going Backwards.

When you see the Oregon sanctuary standoff dragging on with no resolution or see reports of armed gunmen intimidating women at an anti gun violence meeting or watch police criminal activity going unpunished it is hard to see a country moving forward right now.

When you survey these and other events you have to wonder what people are thinking. The level of our presidential politics seeks a new low every day.

And one could go on an one about so many other events that are troubling and worrisome.

with Bernie. While I was fooled once before by a message of change, I am a bit more confident this time because there is a LONG track record available to back up the rhetoric.

since the day Zombie King Raygun was inaugurated 35 years ago. It's like you can hear and smell the country getting collectively dumber every day.
