For the first time in my life, I fear for the well being of this country. Our enemies now live among us. Yes, our members of Congress in view themselves as selected (divinely) as opposed to elected. They are no longer public servants, and are blatant in their disdain for their constituents.

They court the votes of various groups when election time nears, but don’t follow through on their promises, wishing their constituents will fade away until they once again need their votes.

This is all about power — the seeking of and holding on to it with an iron fist.

We now have a president who’s apparent goal is to dismember the U.S. through placating our self-admitted enemies, sacrificing our defense for his dream of a nuclear-free world, his narcissism, attempting to subject us to a global type jurisdiction, while acting the pop celebrity at every opportunity.

I wonder if our Founders were to witness this high-speed vehicle to destruction, if they would have even bothered.
