I have great faith in our country.

I have great faith that our country will do the right thing after doing all the wrong things. That we will be an example to the whole world for greatness and for idiocy at the exact same time. That in our minds we are the greatest thing ever because of a book that has nothing to do with our laws but not from a country that defined our government. (Bible-Greeks). That somehow we will continue to stumble on like a savant and proceed into the future leading by good and bad example, and probably more by bad. I would bet on bad for the most part. To give my evidence for all this, anyone who is a decent person should be polling at least +20 points over the monster that got us here but we are not. Instead its still kinda close. I have great faith in our country, faith that we are full of fucking idiots. Chock fucking full. But, just like I say about my family, they're our idiots. Of course Biden is awesome, support him 100% and DU is the exact opposite of idiots. But for most of the rest of the country, I gotta say, idiocracy and bizzaro-world. What a fucking crazy country, Im going to go drink some rum to spare all of you from my musings.

but after the war he couldn't let the war go. Was pretty sad for someone who did so much to get pushed to the side. Of course England was ready to move on as well so even if he moved on Im not sure they would have stuck with him. I love history, watching "Electing Lincoln" now on curiosity stream.

when I was in DC I went to Ford's Theater; I was in awe just being in a place I knew Lincoln had been, strange as that sounds

Our 1/3 is leveled out by the 1/3 zombie base, while shit has to get THIS bad for the soft headed, "middle" to reluctantly break from its braindead "they are both the same," haze.

featuring a woman sitting in a truck holding a Bible and talking about liberty and freedom and then casually picking up a gun and placing it on the Bible. Scared the hell out of me. Happy Halloween.
