State of the Union?

I'm utterly offended at the state of our country right now but honestly I can remember my parents saying the same thing 20 years ago, my grandparents saying the same thing 40 years ago. We've sold out. Since the civil war, this country has sold out. The south, feeling defeated and humbled, secluded itself into a private war amongst ourselves, and the north, east and far west embraced a radical platform of extreme personal freedoms that extend right on into the given rights of others. Instead of banding together as Americans against what I can only describe as tyrannical leadership, Americans are too busy tearing each other apart over petty things like who we voted for in the last election.

It's not new though. None of this is new. Once upon a time America was great and people from all over the world migrated here to set up a new life and brought with them their beliefs and their culture and it was considered a beautiful thing; a "melting pot". Now, if you even speak something that is not agreed upon by mainstream, you are a conservative freak and you are condemned and shunned. Well, color me red and send me to my corner, because I came onto the social media platform starting with AOL and Yahoo chat rooms in the 90s, migrating to MySpace in 2003, Facebook in 2006, private blogs in between, and offending people routinly. I will likely go out doing the same thing.
