Agreed. BTW, have you heard anything about the Obama administration granting naturalization to 2,500 Iranians as part of the nuclear deal?

Be a prism, spreading God's light and love, not a mirror reflecting the world's hatred.

Ah yes those were the good ole days.

On the Republican side (except for talk radio) I didn't notice much "hair on fire" until Joe Wilson kicked things off. Wilson basically said we don't have to treat this president like the others. And then you have Trump's birther lie.

It is what is now. I don't really care do U? BTW how'd you like it when Trump called Mike Todd a sleeping son of a bitch? That was really cool ... huh

The late 60's didn't come close?

I don't see presidential candidates being assassinated, cities being torched, the National Guard and army in the streets with APC's, students occupying university buildings for weeks at a time, Chicago police rioting, veterans throwing their medals in protest against the war.

And I have probably missed a few.

I'll have to take your word for that.
But I certainly didn't notice much hate and rancor the last time I was in the US.

Seattle seemed pretty calm.
The only demonstration I saw was three Hari Krishnas chanting downtown.

I have to give credit where it's due. Unemployment is down about 1%.

Meanwhile on the world stage Vladimir Putin enjoys more respect and is considered more trustworthy than Trump.

Thanks a lot Democrats …

It most certainly does not.

Further to your main point..

I just finished watching the Ken Burns Vietnam series on Netflix.

I find it hard to fathom how someone could conclude that the current divisions in the US social fabric are worse than the late 60's and early 70's when you watch the rioting, bombing, and street battles.

Reality … if Trump were governor of 14 states, you might want to light a match. But he's not.

Reality is ... the number I found is 1%. … what's your number?

You guys really like to rewrite history don't you.

"Great recession" ... the Bush admiration is responsible for a trillion dollars of US Treasury wasted in the occupation/nation building of Iraq. Then Bush regime administered the bank bailout.

The misguided programs of W Bush are the reason the tea party was born and the reason embarrassed Republicans became Libertarians

BTW I wouldn't call administrating healthcare to millions of Americans in need of doctor visits "misguided". And the civilized world agrees with me on that.
