I feel great shame in the people we elect to serve in Washington.

I feel the same as a citizen of the USA. Our FF would have never understood that Americans might become as dumb as a rock and no more than rats following their newly appointed pied piper.
Two culprits for the decline in wisdom and common sense: public school and MFM. Strong foundations begin to crumble if not maintained.
While Republicans were working hard for their families, the Dems were infiltrating every institution that made America Great. They control the entire education system as well as the National Council of Churches. We weren’t paying enough attention and now we are reaping the whirlwind.
Two culprits for the decline in wisdom and common sense ... I’ll include a third... the people have been bought off with government payments (hence losing their freedom) which the Founders never imagined. Recently I overheard two early 30s people who make not much above the minimum wage talking about food stamps. The one who was thinking about applying said ... “As they say, if the government can feed you, the government can starve you.” She went on to justify it because others do it. Hence, she has common sense, but the enticement is worth the loss of freedom. The payoffs are also made at the institutional level. I submit that many colleges would go belly-up without all the federal $. The reason for “free tuition” being pushed is to perpetuate and expand the left’s control of what the youth of our country “learn”.
As far as the left infiltrating the churches, it is far beyond the National Council of Churches. The left sees no need to separate the church from government when it advances their agenda. For example, look at how many “Christian” churches embrace homo-marriage, or push environmentalism.
