…that so many people who live in what many believe to be the greatest country on earth, endorse, support, and for many, idolize, a man running for President whose Christmas message yesterday was:
And the “Greatest Country on Earth?” I believed that at one time. A country is really just its people, and presumably those people subscribe to common principles that govern behavior, principles that have led many to sacrifice their lives to preserve. That so many people would vote for a man whose entire life flies in the face of those principles clearly reveals that we are not that country anymore, if we ever really were. I believe in the principles. They don’t. I believe in an America that no longer exists, or perhaps never existed. Disheartening.
