At this point, I feel like joining some of my older and more conservative friends who have given up on America. Their position is that when the basic instinct for self preservation has gone, then an illogic takes over and all is the cacauphony of neurotocism. A tailspin of dissonance that cannot sustain ANY effort, muchless a worldwide war. If everyone that I thought deserved prison for their traitorous acts of the last few years were actually incarceated, well we'd have to divert alot of money for new prison construction. Since that is NOT going to happen I don't see the point in cheering at all. The seed that Marx planted in the 1800s was not for the mighty oak but rather an insideous vine that slowly and inpercetable strangles its host nation. It sucks watching my great country collapse in slow-motion.
"At this point, I feel like joining some of my older and more conservative friends who have given up on America."
This country faced tougher times and situations for the Revolution, for the Civil War and during the 1930s.
Don't despair. And "older and more conservative friends who have given up on America" need not be admired for their wisdom, for they fall way short.
Age and experience don't automatically confer wisdom.
