The Unhealthy State of America

By D.L. Hammack

The disdain and contempt that Americans are expressing towards our government have been categorized by the left as nothing more than racist vitriol. The facts behind our discontent are quickly ignored as liberals cohesively race to point out, in a miraculously orchestrated way, what they believe is the true motive behind our actions. "They don't agree with us, so it must be because he's a black man."

We, honest Americans who wish for nothing more than to be heard and answered, have been pushed to the opposite side of a chasm of division that grows wider each day. No longer is it acceptable to have an opinion-unless it mimics that of leadership. No longer are we encouraged to be heard unless we're parroting the thoughts that will forward the agenda of those is power. The new America, simply put is: If you're not with us, then you're against us...and if you're against us, you must be a racist."

Winston Churchill once said that "criticism may not be agreeable, but it is necessary. It fulfils the same function as pain in the human body. It calls attention to an unhealthy state of things."

Will future events be further categorized as un-American fringe activities, or will this administration finally realize that the American body recognizes the unhealthy activities that are-for the moment-causing pain, but that will eventually become terminal and cripple this great nation.
