Political warfare may be permanently damaging country.

THE QUEST FOR POLITICAL ADVANTAGE OVER THE WELL BEING OF THE COUNTRY

RESISTANCE AND OBSTRUCTION RATHER THAN GOVERNING

The hatred and opposition to Trump has now become a way of life for democrats. They have abandoned their role as legislating for the good of the country in favor of playing for political advantage. This policy may have consequences lasting for decades.

First off, the political demonization of Russia in a attempt to force Trump from office has now re-kindled a new cold war. The Russians have not done anything that we did not do first with our involvement in elections in Ukraine, Russia and the Middle East. It is unlikely that this situation will ever be remedied in our lifetime.

The politicization of the IRS, the FBI, the Justice Department and the State Department under the Obama administration has continued in a desire to gain political advantage. These agencies may never again gain the trust of large segments of the American population.

The major media networks have now become political operatives, objective reporting seems to be a thing of the past.

By not addressing the problems on our southern border we are witnessing a flooding of our country with large numbers of the uneducated and unskilled who will have a very hard time assimilating into the country. Many of these immigrants are women and children who may become a permanent dependent class. This is very similar to what has happened in Europe were we have not yet seen the final result. The actions by politicians and judges who have resisted any attempt to have an orderly legal immigration system is treasonous.

In a desperate attempt to regain power the Democrats have now promised an unparalleled expansion of  government benefits to win elections. If they are successful, we can expect to see the collapse of our economy as well. It seems that is the agenda, overwhelm the southern border, create long term foreign enemies that will drain us of resources and collapse the capitalist system so they can replace it with a socialist utopia.

We will have to see what happens. Sometime I believe America has been so prosperous and successful that its citizens have taken it for granted that it will always be so. That we can continue to make poor decisions without consequence. It has been the history of great nations that they are often destroyed by their own success. When the life becomes too easy, when the struggle for survival has not taken place for generations, you see the focusing on the unessential and the preoccupation with self-analysis, the hypochondria of the whole population. 

It is always better to learn by the bad example of others. There are consequences for bad decisions. If we do not choose to make good long term decisions for our country we will suffer the consequences, which will be the harshest and most effective teacher.
