    The country is really a perversion of what it was intended to be. One of my pet peeves is that one of the fundamental foundations of the country is supposed to be individual Liberty, the freedoms to do, say, be, think, etc. whatever you want as long as you do not infringe the same freedoms of others. Simple and clear.

    What do we have instead? Group think permeating everything. What groups you belong to is far more important that who you are. Laws are passed protecting one group or another when the individual has had these rights all along. The intent of the founding fathers has been perverted throughout history and has only gotten worse as we get used to each successive layer of legal and cultural muck burying our history.

    It might be that the reason this is not showing up in more news is because this happened back on the 26th of May, and the original reports called the children and their families liars; but now the videos are coming out that show that this actually did happen.
    Even Speaker Kevin McCarthy tweeted about this and apologized and invited the children back to sing again.

    The answer to your question is yes, at least half the country, probably more counting those that "claim" to be conservatives.

    I don't know if anyone saw the news about some teens throwing huge rocks at traffic, and killed one woman :( What's worse is the kids attitude, like they made a football goal. Here's the story which I know we can't believe everything we read, but something tells me this is at least close to the truth: https://www.cnn.com/2023/04/27/us/colorado-teens-rock-death-charges/index.html

    What I don't get is how can biden, or his puppeteers, can stand up there saying "all is well" in America :( If I was planning on changing countries, I'd look at other options before I came here. But I don't think there will be anyplace to run to eventually. I guess we just need to stand our ground and hopefully get more decent leadership into office. Anyone good, especially President Trump, will get the hell beat out of them, again :( Gee I'm glad I got on here to read, lol! Well, honestly I wasn't feeling too cheery this a.m. anyway:rolleyes:

    It’s hard to understand. Perhaps this is what we get when kids are raised with little discipline and no consequences for their actions.

    Exactly, plus kids are seeing adults getting no discipline or consequences for their actions. What's really a crime is in California I hear they are trying to make it a crime to look at someone the wrong way, or make someone "pay" for not doing business at a store. I'm sure we can look back at movies, or, our own history where societies were exactly like that. The way China is supplying our clothing we'll all be in plastic outfits soon, and they'll have to all match. Oh and don't forget we'll all be the same sex. Geez, now I'm really depressed.
