Where is our future headed?

I would hope to see a change in how people act and treat others around them. I have traveled all over the lower 48 in the past 30 years driving a truck for a living. Just like everything does, things have changed. Some for the good, but most not so good. The way people think that they need to get to where they are going a few second faster. The way people treat others because that other don't dress, look or talk like they do, they insult that person along the way. Our biggest problem I think, is that technology has played a part in this? No one talks each other, they text or email. Greed and cronyism divide our social classes by the wealthy to do, looking down at those who struggle day to day. The streets are busier and so people crowd they way around. There are so many things that we all can do to change this, but until we do change, things will only get worse for our fellow citizens. I am guilty doing some of these same things, I talked about here. I am working hard to better myself and no person is better than the other. I was taught, treat others as you want to be treated. Respect, honor and dignity, needs to come back into our country and fast. If not, we will be a nation without good leadership and nothing will change! It is not a party issue, it is an American issue. I don't not agree with the GOP for the things they are doing, BUT the Dems need to find a way to break this trend. We have no one to blame but ourselves if we don't do our part to better our future?

What ever happened to Political Savvy?

I guess the American GOP does not care about the fact that they have elect several members of their party to office, who have either insulted or assaulted women, men and reporters. Yes the Democratic Party has had their fair share of issues and some of them very disturbing, but the GOP have elected a leader of their party who has encouraged this type of behavior. He has bragged that treating others with violence , whether physical or verbal, is OK. It is NOT OK! Never has this been the norm and should never be in our future. It is time we all stand up and say enough of this! The leadership of country is not where it is suppose to be and they need figure out what needs to be done and correct this, to protect our great country.

I thought I would ever say this.....

but thank you to the Fox reporter who told the truth about Gianforte. She was the difference between Gianforte getting away with what he did and letting the reporter to defend for himself! I guess there are a few good people who work for any Fox station.

So, the GOPPers and the bullies, can't distance themself from Gainforte?

Why? They can't afford to lose a seat in Congress! Ryan can't wait for this to be over, but how ironic would it be if the was an upset and the Dems win that seat? Just look at their riot leader, grabbing every seat they can, no matter what or who they grab or beat up!

Hey Trump! Why are you worried about NATO countries not paying their fair share?

When, of all people, you don't pay taxes to help those in the US who actually pays their fair share of the bill! You moron, you have no idea how to politically correct and are an embarrassment to the United States here and abroad!

Yeah, I would like them to pay their fair share, but I would rather to have these countries by our side when we need them!

Also, you buffoon! You don't push another leader to get to the front of the line! You do think are, that idiot Gianforte?

Was last night's assault of the Guardian reporter, a result of Trump's rampage on the media?

I would think so! Trump start this whole issues, by lambasting the media in his speeches. I know there are some very pushy reporters, but if those reporters were not pushy and ask questions. We would never know what the truth is and how the people get the facts. In life we have hurdles that we cross, some higher than others, but when a politician puts his hands on a reporter for asking a simple question? This is one hurdle he or she should not climb over! As for Trump and his fake news syndrome? Well, that very same fake news is telling quite the story, he himself can't hide or run from. Hey Donnie! Never bite the hand that feeds you!

About imanamerican63

I am just someone who believes in treating others with respect and give those who need help a hand. I don't like it when other peolple think they are better than me. I feel God made us all the same. I know there are different types of people, just like democrates and republicans, but I do think that the republicans use their platform to show they are better than us. I am a catholic, who is against abortion, but know I that can not tell a woman what she can do or not do. I am for gun rights, but against guns that can shoot 4 or more rounds at once. I live life as it comes, but always look to make it better for tomorrow.
