Our nation has been in decline for many decades. IMHO it began with taking prayer out of school (we have replaced prayer with police); our public schools have become havens for the indoctrination of liberal ideology; legalizing abortion; not holding criminals accountable for their crimes; and the list goes on. The MSM has brainwashed the non-thinking public with their propaganda--manipulated them--just look at the coverage of the War in Iraq. For years we saw all of the bombings--the blood-the gore--the death toll--all of it was on our TV screens hour after hour after hour. All of the negative coverage took top billing because the war wasn't going well. All of the bashing of Bush--the vile, the hatred toward that man that was advocated by the MSM. Then the "surge" was implemented and success is finally in our grasp...the end is finally near...and what do you hear from the MSM about it...............A BIG FAT NOTHING! No pictures of the successes, the markets that are open and operating for the Iraqi people, the school children playing, people strolling down the streets of Fallujah and Baghdad. You would think that the MSM would want to publicize our military's successes, their hard work and dedication, their commitment to winning this war. But they have forgotten about Iraq, it is no longer beneficial to their ideology to report it.
We are truly a nation divided by principles. Unfortunately this election proved that the majority of the voting public wanted CHANGE, even if it destroys our nation. They do not think any further ahead than their next house payment. The Democrats want to keep people down, they want a dependent class of voters--their strongest voting block. When people become independent thinkers, they tend to be more conservative. To me, I want a strong economy, but I want strong leaders who will defend our nation against terrorism; because without our nation being secure from the terrorists' threat we can never really be financially secure.
