A Nightmare Campaign of Outright Idiocy

As we get into high summer, there must be a very large number of Americans now actively considering whether the country is going mad.

The leading newspaper in the nation’s capital has accused the president of plumbing “new depths of depravity” in a perfectly unexceptionable and soaringly eloquent speech at Mount Rushmore last Friday. Praising the American revolutionary ideal that “all men are created equal” and its reaffirmation by Abraham Lincoln in the Civil War that brought about the abolition of slavery somehow made Donald Trump “dark” and “divisive.” The president deplored academic and national media self-hate and espoused the highest objectives identified and pursued by every admired American leader from Washington and Franklin to Martin Luther King and Ronald Reagan.

As the violent crime rate skyrocketed in New York City 10 days ago, the City Council voted to reduce the police budget by $1 billion. Meanwhile, Chicago celebrated the July 4 weekend with 87 people injured and 17 killed by gunfire, including two children, but the city’s mayor rebuked the police chief when he suggested there is room for improvement in city governance.

I can recall the civil rights riots. The smelly hippies getting the hippie stick smack down at the Chicago democratic  convention etc, it was a very turbulent period but nothing like this. I think a large part of it, is the Press has just any pretense of truthful reporting and has bent the knee to being full scale radical propaganda machines and Americas is so buried in cell phones, feel good slogans, and sound bites they dont even think

 

I just pray there are enough sane people left in this country they we dont turn over  the Senate to the radical left democratic party and elect Bidens VP pick to the white house.

You are right, the big difference today is the way the mainstream media is behaving.  Although not being around in the mid-sixties for the civil rights protests, I know the MSM was quite different back then and not staffed by political activists.

Joe Biden says the same... because he can't recall ANY time in his life.
