Agreed. And it does look very ugly. I am glad that I live in fly-over country in the middle of the Big Nothing. Country boys can survive. Now how do we see to it that the nation does? It is time to kick A$$ and take names and FIX this mess without DC's guidance.
The political class is failing. Look at the state the country is in. Its 80% the ‘rats fault but I’m not excusing the GOP, not by a mile.
Any change that will come is going to come from the bottom up, not the top down. Its like France in the hundred years war. The English had crushed France. The French nobility was ready to give up, ready to sell out the future. Peace at any price. But Joan of Arc, a powerless peasant girl, rose up and roused the PEOPLE of France to unite and cast out the foe.
We must not take one more step backwards! We must go on the offensive and bring a bold, fearless plan for national renewal before the public. We have a better chance of winning big than winning little. This country is bleeding and ready to listen. If things keep getting worse in the next few years they will be DEMANDING a new approach. Both parties haver very little credit left with the public.
