I would also include that before any elected official takes an oath to up hold the US Constitution, they have to pass a written test that demonstrates they comprehend it.

Middle Age Russ wrote:By and large, I am convinced that we are seeing the original American values -- individualism, responsibility, Liberty, education, hard work and belief in God -- lose the culture war against the proponents of Progressivism.

One thing I find interesting in the immigration debate in this country is the large number of people that want to immigrate to this country because of our American values and the large number of Progressives that dispense with our American values when it suits their narrative to accommodate these immigrants.

There is a recent news story about a kid getting interrogated by the police for tweeting about a father-son outing to a gun range, hiring an instructor to shoot a rifle and learning about the 2A. Remember when most kids went to school with a shotgun or a 22 in their truck? When did society look down on father-son outings or despise our U.S. Constitution? In my school district, the police charged a high school student with weapon charges because he drew a gun on the bathroom wall with a sharpie. After the district expelled him and the county held him without bail for three-months, the grand jury no-billed the kid. It’s a fine-point sharpie! The pen is supposed to be mightier than the sword, but no one died from sharpie poisoning.

Or, why would an anti-fascist movement employ fascist tactics to advance their cause? Or people that claim they embrace diversity expend lots of energy to silence people with diverse opinion. Am I the only one that sees the contradiction? I can’t understand why when I say “God Bless You” when a person sneezes, I get yelled at for pushing faith. Why is a simple random act of kindness a crime? Are people so hyper-sensitive that they confuse random kindness? What is a “micro-aggression” anyway? Or, people refer to POTUS as an anti-immigrant even though he is married to an immigrant. Even more troubling calling POTUS a Nazi, yet members of his immediate family are orthodox Jews. And, not to be outdone, referring to POTUS as a white supremacist who calls Dr. Carson, an African-American doctor, a friend. When did people become so stupid?

Today, it seems like people are willing to hate at the drop of pin. Members of the LGBTQ community think Chick-fil-A is a hate company, even though they serve anyone. It’s a chicken sandwich. Just because the CEO is a devout Baptist, his entire company is a hate company? When did Baptists become a hate group? Even dumber, the California political elite are so upset that Hillary lost the election that they enact laws to make breaking Federal law legal. Isn’t that how a civil war starts? Even if they don’t like Trump, he can’t serve more than two terms.

I miss the days when people actually practiced mutual respect. People understood the value of our rights under the U.S. Constitution. People talked about their differences like adults rather than have kindergarten playground fights over everything. Can we ever get back to those times?

Ok, Rant is over. We now take you to our regularly scheduled program. Its late, I'm tired.
