... make me wonder if we as a nation aren't heading that way.

Sure does seem like it as we are become more and more polarized to the point we are fracturing apart at the bloody seams.

The GOP is about to calve off a new third party as Trump and Cruz rise; Goldwater and Reagan Republicans fade into history, and the Democrats are a flock of headless chickens badly in need of a Rooster. Or a Mother Hen. (It's Hillary's election to lose, don't kid yourself)

Meanwhile, all this shit thats happening in the world right now, and we as a nation are not at the forefront leading the charge, we're sitting here "Keeping up with the Kardashians" or boycotting hummus and breakfast cereals made in Israeli settlements. No wonder ISIS is laughing in our faces, emboldened by our feckless leadership.
