    In answer to your question, Yes. I think the US is in decline. It has been ever since the Left hijacked key components of our society such as chunks of our government, our educational systems and associations like the AMA, APA, and other associations.

    We're fast becoming a godless wasteland, and people like you seem to be unfazed, if not flat-out excited over that prospect. Why?

    Thanks for answering but I get no satisfaction out of America's working class decline. America, for the top twenty percent (?), is doing well, it is the working class and working poor who are having trouble living the American dream. Add the needy to that list. Why is that? Lots of reasons, some are their own fault as they made poor life choices, but government policies and especially corporate outsourcing hurts too. When my great grand parents worked it was nearby, even our grandparents had work in corporations that had positive work policies and often strong unions. All that is changing or has gone forever. One reason Trump was successful is because many felt he really meant Americans first in more than simply candidate BS talk.

    I'd hardly call America a Godless wasteland, churches are everywhere. And you know what, the most religious people I know are often liberal. But I'm sure many neo-Nazis and white supremacists are religious in their way. As a member of the top twenty I could be easily unfazed, but Made in America by fairly paid Americans would excite me.

    I hear many complain that AMerica is godless, everyone is doing this or that...........

    Really they are to blame.. IT's their own fault........ Instead of acting/being like Jesus, they are like the Pharisees...... Putting burdens on mens backs they are unwilling to carry.....

    What they lack in love they more than make up in legalism, & what they lack in their CHristianity they hope to make up for in the republicanism.......

    Most are much more asshole & republican than CHristian, hell, if they didn't announce they were, would anyone even know??

    Still promoting this moronic lie I see; there was no "Muslim" ban.

    More evidence of the sociopathic lying the left is willing to engage in. Its almost as bad as their desire to build massive straw man claims.

    And yet, you supported the dunce Obama who caused it and hate the guy who is actually trying to do something about it. Dumb don't you think?

    Truth Detector, are you a troll? Your constant posting over and over again is the sign of a troll. Try to answer the question in a logical consistent single response. Mudding the water is a sign of insincerity and an attempt to extinguish debate. I realize you have fascist tendencies but try to stay on point. Thanks.

    No I am not; but it is obvious you are. You love trolling the forum with your banal false narratives and strawman claims.

    [QUOTE=midcan5;2005257]Try to answer the question in a logical consistent single response. Mudding the water is a sign of insincerity and an attempt to extinguish debate.

    Your misplaced condescension suggests that you lack the self awareness to know that far form being an intellectual, you sound more like a leftist lemming mindlessly parroting the talking points you've gullibly been fed.

    Another moronic claim; so be specific, how do I have "fascist" tendencies? This is more proof you lack the intelligence to comprehend the talking points you bloviate.

    It is also ironic in that your ideology requires a Fascist like mentality where all must be forced into conformity and where religion plays little or no part at all in society.

    Why even bother to ask it??
    "There is no question former President Trump bears moral responsibility. His supporters stormed the Capitol because of the unhinged falsehoods he shouted into the world’s largest megaphone," McConnell wrote. "His behavior during and after the chaos was also unconscionable, from attacking Vice President Mike Pence during the riot to praising the criminals after it ended."
