I think about 1966 was pretty good.

Long hair and hippie lifestyle and psychedelic rock and the rest made “straights” beat up guys with long hair and then SDS and antiwar demonstrations fought the straights. Vietnam did it, of course.

The real turning point for me was black violence and feminism, so 1967 and 1972. Never back together like Humpty Dumpty.

Sedition. Naked sedition. And the previous president stokes these fires.

Of course everyone knew he was a communisty organizizer...

With Obama there is a political bloodline to the bomb throwing cop killing bank robbing riot causing actions of the Weather Underground in the 70s and 80s.

Only after the likes of Clinton and Cuomo and the RATS disappear.

No, it’s going to get much worse, and probably extremely violent, sadly

Exactly! The Valerie/Obama enterprise is still in full swing. However, they are not going to destroy our nation.

They hate us, because we stand in the way of their one-world-government. And stand we will!

We might come together as a country, when the last Hate American stops breeding and dies of old age.

These losers in life, since the Viet Nam protesters to their current masked Street Thugs, their hate America Professors/Teachers and their snow flakes will hate us and America until their last breath.

They are life long losers without any redeeming qualities.

Their religion is hating America and those of us who love America.

Hopefully, they will become a footnote in history in the next couple of decades like their ancestors, the KKK!

As they abort their unborn by the millions each year, their demise will be self inflicted along with their deadly addictions and suicidal behavior.

When Deplorable historians write a brief obit, “Here lies the last losers in American life, liberals. Who hated everyone including themselves.

They could not decide what bathroom to use or what sex they were in their miserable life. They and Darwin handled their short and sorry blip in America’s history.

Cats out of the bag, can’t put the bullet back in the gun....

America now knows how deeply corrupt government is at the highest levels...

No going back to business as usual.

I honestly don’t want to be united with the left. At all.

They kill babies in utero. There is no room for them on my boat.

America survived the Civil War so America can certainly survive this period of social unrest imo, especially if patriots work to get low-information citizens up to speed on the federal government’s constitutionally limited powers.

We really need to repeal the 16th and ill-conceived 17th Amendments.

“The people who cheer Trump believe the country they inherited from their fathers was a great, good and glorious country, and that the media who detest Trump also despise them.

For such as these, Trump cannot scourge the media often enough.”

Amen to that!

No.

IMO, secession is the only peaceful solution. Barring that, there will be another civil war eventually. We have two “tribes” who have radically different ideas about how to live which are completely incompatible with one another and who do not like each other at all.

><

Winner!

I’m sick and tired of Leftists and want nothing to do with them.

Leftists present a threat and danger to our security, prosperity and freedom. Those things cannot be compromised.

The American people want and demand their country taken back from corrupt, self-serving, amoral, hypocritical Marxist Liberal politicians and everyday, garden-variety lunatic Marxist Liberals scattered throughout the country and MSM.

Yep. It is really pretty simple. If the media wants to be treated like journalists, then they should act like journalists. If they continue to act as hyperpartisan political hacks, they should not be expected to be treated like anything else.

Trump is not Bush. We all remember how Bush's politeness to the press worked out for him.

Maybe you're right, but one advantage of being nigh onto 60 years old is that I've lived through a lot. I remember how nasty the Democrats were to Nixon. I remember how the left made fun of Ford. I remember the kid gloves the media used when handling Jimmah Carter and his brother Billy. I remember how nasty Genesis was to Reagan in their music video Land of Confusion, which summed up the left's assertion that Reagan was senile and was going to start WWIII. I remember how the press vilified H.W. Bush for Gulf War I. I remember how the press broke out those kid gloves again for B.J. Clinton.

I will take back what I said. There was a second time when the country came together again, left and right, for a very brief moment. It occurred immediately after 9/11. That was something to see, and it did make me proud to be an American. But it didn't last very long.

So, no, I generally disagree with your premist that until Barack Obama that liberals and conservatives were at least civil to each other.
