I've been around a long time. Seen quite a bit of shyt in my day and relative to the time I've been around I honestly do not remember any time at all where there was unity in this country. Maybe before my time during the WW2 years there was a common purpose but even my parents told me some shyt going on then that indicated a nation at odds with each other. So when people say that Trump is causing division or Obama has created a nation divided I have to say this. It has always been a nation divided especially since I've been around. I think most nations are. It's human nature.

As a local politician once said to me, "If we listened to the will of the people, nothing would ever get done."

There is no collective will of the people Cliffy . Does everyone agree with you?
On here, almost nobody agrees with me. I thought that politician was a jerk, but on further contemplation I realized he was right.
Ya canna pleaz all de people all a de time.

And there are responsible ways of getting their attention far easier than being perpetually negative.

Communication rather than confrontation.

Try it sometime.

Disappointed in the Donkey and the Elephant? Why not give the Lamb a try : )

I liked John Kennedy and his brother Robert. Both were murdered as was the Lamb.

That's the American way, sonny.

How often have you assasinated your Presidents? Does any other democracy conduct themselves in a similar manner.

The answer is "no". What is this defect in the American soul?

USA was FAR more socially divided during Vietnam but all went well thereafter. Same will happen eventually.

Folks like you who whine a lot

Count them up, sometime. It is a shameful history and how dare any of you presume to know what is good for the rest of the planet. The self-declared "world policeman" is a bent copper.

Not really and in the case of America the last century and all the ills that happened were done by design. Not my problem if you can't accept what is promoted in this vid but the dates could have been manipulated to happen by the ones that got control of the money system in 1913.

A nation born in violence is doomed to live and fall in violence.
