...against Enemies FOREIGN, and DOMESTIC??
If you sense that our Nation is "under attack" both, from outside and from within; you can be forgiven!! There are conditions facing our Country that are unlike any in its History. In the face of frightening events outside, we appear to have abandoned our internal Defenses!! We allowed the attacks that took place on 9/11; and we're fecklessly allowing one of our two National Parties to systematically weaken our Country from within! There can be little doubt that Abraham Lincoln, a founding member of the Republican Party, lost his life, Defending this Nation!! After winning our bloodiest WAR, he Fought for National Unity, against tremendous odds. Not so, for hisParty, in 2016!! Greed, Cynicism, "Zero-Sum" Policies, Delusional Ambitions, and willful Stupidity all combine to Rule his Party, and lead our Nation in this "Race to the Bottom"!
Significant numbers within the Democrat Party are playing into the mayhem among Republicans; cynically hoping to Rule over the Rubble left in their wake. What Happened to US??
As someone who, in the dead of night, deep under ground, faced live nukes, preparing them for detonation; so this Nation could acquire the technology it needed to win the Cold War; I feel BETRAYED!! Today's Congressional "Leaders", in both Parties, do not, vaguely, resemble the Party Leaders we had before 1960! Did we lose our way after the Cuban Missile Crisis? Or, was it the Vietnam War? The Assassinations of Jack and Bobbie, and Martin and Malcolm?
Religion also looms large in what ails this Nation, both a home, and abroad! Religious Leadership has also performed pivotal roles in bringing about the Decline of the Republican Party. Nixon, assisted by J. Edgar Hoover, as I remember, were first to shove our Politics in the direction that lead us to our current Predicament! The rise of Putin, among the rubble left in the wake of the collapsed Soviet Union, also caught our Leaders "off-guard"??
Stay Vigilant! Trump's Candidacy parallels Putin's pattern of internal disruptions along racial, ethnic, and other Nativistic lines. Modern Media, a critical, and, so far, negative factor; is ready-made for someone like Donald Trump!
The Citizens of the United States, in the early 1940s, were much SMARTER, although pitifully less-well EDUCATED than today's citizens; and YET, they won a two-front WAR, while rationing commodities at home, and putting our Country more than 100% in DEBT! What is our EXCUSE??
