Surely Im not the only one that's noticed that this country was fairly sane until Obama came along and wrecked everything. He destroyed everything right down to the earliest part of our education system. There is no peaceful way to come back from this.
It's been incremental.
Things were relatively normal, both sides, until those two Arkansas hillbilly grifters crawled out of the ooze, and took the Stupid Party over. They fought, but not hard - those two were, under the skin and slime, JUST LIKE Beltway swamp creatures.
Things got nutty. Remember the Bimbo Eruptions Unit? Nuts-and-Sluts. That's where the term came from - Carville's potty-mouth. Remember the firing of Billy Dale? Those of us who knew of it, not many, since the media spiked the story...were outraged. Using the legal system to destroy those in the way of crony placements, in this case the WH Travel Office.
Impeachment. Which, never mind the media lies, was NOT for sex; it was for misappropriating government money to use Interns' pay and positions to recruit sex toys. AND for lying under oath to Congress about relevant, provable related issues.
Out of that, the best the Silly Party (not the Stupid Party, although they're co-joined) could find was the son of the most nondescript President in history. Chester Arthur was dynamic compared to W.
He stopped the degrading trend, but did not reverse; and he let the neo-cons push him into a war. Remember the tense week between September 11 and his address to Congress? Bush was not inherently a Moar-War type. He was completely without ambition. But he got USED by the Endless War types.
Out of THAT, the Stupid Party found the ONE prominent member ABSOLUTELY unqualified for the Presidency - a Kenyan national - and rewrote his history. Why? Probably just to see if they could.
They could, they did, and while the Clintonoid DemocRats were just trashy and lawless, the Obombatons were lawless, racialist, and eagerly destroying America.
And that's where they are now.
