Well, I believe that we learned that Conservatism is almost dead in America and the majority of the country wants Socialism.
The majority of the country wants something for nothing.
The majority of the country neither understands nor cares less about the Bill of Rights and the US Constitution.
Bread and circuses have won the day. So long as the people have their big screen TV’s, hot wings, Micky D’s, endless sports shows and mindless sitcoms ... socialism will reign supreme here in the US and your children and grandchildren will never know or understand what freedom and liberty really was.
Yup. Adding to the list: Cheap imported goods, rampant inflation, a foreign war, and (now) a hollow, meaningless "election".
