re: Both sides should read.... The downgrade of decency

The very idea of lamenting the "downgrade of decency" when there is essentially a National clash of polar Governmental Ideology...is a joke in itself. People are decent to each other when the issues upon which they agree are not injurious to their (perceived) survival and prosperity. In the past, the populous of this Nation agreed that Constitutional Principle and the Rule of Law therein ruled supreme. No more so. Near half the Electorate would as soon ditch the Constitution, the Border (which secures National sovereignty), traditional Culture and the other Half of the populous who they view as immoral and "irredeemable" (Hillary quote).

Dude ought to check the historical record of the Ideologically-based World Wars. "decency" .
