Decline/Demise of America

[NightFox]

So, you admit Donald Trump is the only elected President who has stood at the Presidential pulpit and called citizens immature childish names like an angry third grader.

WHOA! hold up there Lone Ranger....

When the fuck did we get a Presidential PULPIT ??

Are you familiar with what a synonym is?

Yeah ...

Are you familiar with what a pulpit is? and why adding the adjective "Presidential" to it carries disturbing overtones?

If you require edification I suspect the Catholic Church would be happy to provide it.

A decline has been underway for decades, now, Trumpism has speeded the process. American values are in dramatic decline as the USA leader Donald Trump leads the nation in a period of corruption and disregard for basic American principals of morality and human rights. An amoral monster has taken over the reigns of power in America and a corrupted a Republican-led Congress. With no concern of right or wrong, America is quickly losing its strength and viability for existing.

Feel better now? Did you misplace your binky?

No. Bush and O started their endless wars, corruption, hatred for american values etc. But yes, we are quickly losing our power. The US has nearly completed the circle and time permits for a republic. We're almost back to the point of bondage.

You still haven't pointed to anything specific that Trump is doing to damage the United States.

Sure I have.

Which war did O start?

 

[Remodeling Maidiac]

This is Democrat "action"

This is how they uphold American morality.

What are "American values"?

He continued Bush' adventures and added more in afghanistan. Continued to pick and choose leaders in the ME to oppose or lift up ie arab spring. Expanded drone operations etc.

What are "American values"?

Life, liberty, pursuit of happiness, self defense, to inherit, earn, and keep property, the right and duty to demand that civil authorities obey the law, the right to live our lives free from interference from civil government, the right to worship God, Independence, Freedom.

I believe Trump agrees with you and is doing his best to keep those values.

 

[Crepitus]

This decay began long before Trump.

Trump is merely a symptom. A result.

I agree with you that there has been decay. However, I see Trump as the beginning of turning our government back to the accountability to the people and out of the hands of a small group of political elites in both parties and the Federal government.

Dude, that's the opposite of what s happening. tRump is the elitist you are concerned about. Think man, who did he give tax breaks to? Twice now!

His best isn't good enough.

[Mac1958]

Note how everything is acceptable when "my" side does it.

Also note how "your" side is even WORSE than "my" side, and that's all that matters.

Another symptom of the decay: Constantly lowered standards, no accountability by either tribe, a race to the bottom.

Which American values?

When we were terrorizing the Cuba population? When we stopped the election in Vietnam because our guy was going to lose? How about the assassination of the President of Vietnam? Carpet bombing of Hanoi? Cambodia? Our intervention in Latin America and our support for dictators across the globe? History is full of our values. We just like to think we hold the high moral ground, but it's a myth.

That's the driving ethos of modern politics.

Those aren't values. Do you think we're infallible? You don't have to answer your own sarcasm.

The Decline/Demise of "America" (the culture, not the country), can be seen through the following:

1. Criminal justice system becomes a cruel joke, with most trials focused on what "crimes" can be found in the CONDUCT OF THE POLICE, to get the bastard off. Hundreds of thousands of known criminals get off on "technicalities" while the criminal court system learns to deal with the outrages coming out of the Supreme Court.

2. Standards of decency go out the window, as the Supreme Court declares that the "First Amendment" protects smut peddlers and pornographers.

3. Largely pushed by the ACLU, America's students get a whole raft of "Constitutional Rights," thus preventing teachers from using disciplinary tools that have worked since the inception of public schools. With predictable results..."You can't TOUCH ME!" say the students. And they are right.

4. Supreme Court creates "Affirmative Action," thus destroying the American ideal of "equal justice for all," and creating a cottage industry of umbrage takers and their scumbag lawyers, while at the same time casting a shadow on "minorities" who earn their jobs and success through merit.

5. The invention of The Pill (and other forms of artificial birth control) gives American males the ability to totally avoid responsibility for parenting their offspring with the simple claim that, "She failed to take her pill, so the kid is HERS."

6. The legalization of abortion trivializes human life itself, and takes the campaign for enhanced rights for women off on a tangent focused on infanticide, where it continues to reside.

7. The "War on Poverty" makes the State the de facto "father" of tens of millions, as Government (the taxpayers) provides a cornucopia of benefits to so-called single mothers (making the biological father unnecessary), and removes the longstanding stigma of bastardy.

8. The institution of Marriage is attacked from all sides: divorce rates skyrocket as 40-year-old adolescents find that their aging spouses no longer "turn them on,"; aging hippies choose not to get married, while still spawning a generation of aimless, spoiled children; Courts find that the Constitution guarantees the right of anyone to marry anyone else.

9. Draft-dodging hippies invade colleges and universities, AND STAY THERE, ultimately becoming the ruling professors, department heads, and deans. Academe becomes a hopeless, out-of-touch bastion for the otherwise-unemployable wastrels who idolize dead socialists, despots, and clueless idealists. "Western Civilization" becomes passe in the new academic environment where the merit of one's work is mainly evaluated based on the level of perceived oppression of one's ethnic, gender, or otherwise oppressed group.

10. Lacking real creative talent, the entertainment industry becomes the plaything of transplanted, east-coast degenerates, with conventions of fiction thrown out the window in favor of blood, lust, and anything that will shock the viewer.

11. The News Media becomes an arm of the political Left, creating nonsense "news" for political gain, slanting the coverage of people and events almost beyond recognition, and suppressing actual news that doesn't fit into the current Leftist narrative.

And so, a Reality TV star and successful businessman uses his name recognition and the ardent support of about 1/4th of the American population to strategically blow up the American political system and be elected President. The ENTIRE ESTABLISHMENT - Government, Media, Entertainment, Sports - are all shocked and outraged, and do everything they can to disparage, defeat, discourage, and destroy this Reality TV star. But a funny thing happens. Real American People start to realize that this guy is THE ONLY ONE in the entire power structure who is willing to do what is necessary to help make their lives a little bit better.

He will stop the flow of millions of welfare-seeking immigrants who have "crashed" (and continue to crash) our borders; he will strangle the regulatory state to STOP them from ruining our lives and businesses with crushing regulations designed to "save the planet" and make themselves more important; he will give us a little tax cut, with the hope that business will be stimulated (it has been); he will maximize our energy output - including the dreaded coal - so that we don't have to kiss the asses of foreign despots to keep the flow of oil coming; he tells the Rest of the World that we will no longer live with one-sided trade arrangements where they tax the shit out of our stuff that we ship to them, while we accept their goods with no duties whatsoever. The list goes on and on.

This man is no moral paragon, but he is the best option we have, for now. Long Live the Trumpster.

Everyone that pays taxes got a tax break. If you paid less taxes than someone else, then they got more back than you. Do you understand that concept?
