How do you feel about American politics at the present time?

There's not much difference between choice 2 and 3

Your right, I changed the wording.

Yeah, I am fed up with having to vote for the lesser of two evils.

I haven't been able to vote for a president that I really like sense Ronald Regan.

Of course, there is always the Netherlands model :making_faces:

And it's what the people want. I hope everybody realizes once we achieve social communism there's no going back.

Nevertheless, God has seen His people through worse times and governments than this. Soli Deo Gloria!

Nearly 40 years ago, I can remember well a comment my mother made about that. She said the Americans had always been afraid of communism coming in from the outside and taking over, but they really didn't need to worry about that because we were going to do it to ourselves. She had come to that conclusion while she and Dad were farming, and the politics involved in that was just more than they were willing to deal with, so Dad went to welding and blacksmithing instead.

I don't know about other professions, but in the farming world, the writing has been on the wall for a long time.

Our society here in the states is so odd. We are individualists to the core and yet we yearn for a King ( Kennedy for example ) even now.

Looking at Scripture I see a very communal situation as well...with a King. Commands to love and teachings to share all.

/shrug

I think when all is said and done ( and yes I was influenced ) the 60's had some very good ideas that were, of course, corrupted by our depravity. Jonestown is quite fresh in my memory.

Yeah, I was influenced by the 60s as well. There were some good ideas, but being the humans we are, the ideas were exploited. And that seems to be the history of the world in one respect or another. It's really disturbing to me to see the mindset of the younger generation now compared to when I was a teenager or young adult. Back then it was love, peace, acceptance, etc., now it's "don't give a rip," "look at me wrong and I'll kill you cause I want to," and the DESIRE FOR acceptance (which is one of the main draws of gangs), yet no desire TO BE accepting.

What goes on behind the scenes in farming is kind of alarming, really. At least to us it is. It's too complex to explain in a few sentences, but I can sum it up with an out-of-control government influence that indirectly effects many other professions and directly effects us all...we gotta eat.
