I think you captured the zeitgeist of small town America and displayed it honestly and forthrightly for your readers, without judgmental or patronizing commentary, giving each individual the chance to express his own thoughts and feelings. Nice job. <br /><br />johntatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10088632798195131329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972382144120426476.post-75244697175736223162016-07-01T13:28:53.475-05:002016-07-01T13:28:53.475-05:00Someone needs to tell that halfwit pastor that the...Someone needs to tell that halfwit pastor that the United States was not founded as a Christian nation.<br />Jefferson specifically refuted that.<br />Most of the Founding Fathers considered themselves to be deists, what we call agnostics today.Clark St.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09634234069783123180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972382144120426476.post-21404493513413632422016-07-01T12:41:10.624-05:002016-07-01T12:41:10.624-05:00Good one, Neil.Good one, Neil.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972382144120426476.post-59828962686372230262016-07-01T11:50:57.151-05:002016-07-01T11:50:57.151-05:00Some people have the notion that things were so mu...Some people have the notion that things were so much better in their youth. I think 24 hour news, the internet have made them think things are worse. What is worse for a lot of people is the economy. Even though jobs have increased a lot of people are not making what they made before and their money does not go as far as it used to. I get that people on the right an left are ticked off with Congress. But I think for different reasons. I know that there are very smart people for Trump. One of the smartest people I know is a Trump supporter. The guy is all over the map. He changes his positions almost daily. He lies about everything. He promises stuff like building a wall, deporting millions of people, making people say merry Christmas. Meanwhile Clinton gets crushed as being this big liar and not being honest. This article that was from facebook, makes some great points. http://www.dailykos.com/story/2016/6/11/1537582/-The-most-thorough-profound-and-moving-defense-of-Hillary-Clinton-I-have-ever-seen No doubt she is a liberal hawk, and favors the banks. Still I would rather see her in office than Trump. It would be such a disaster if he was elected.sanfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06580867647162091670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972382144120426476.post-40957938708702236692016-07-01T08:26:34.447-05:002016-07-01T08:26:34.447-05:00What I get out of this is that advertising works a...What I get out of this is that advertising works and negative advertising works best of all. If the Republican party were a company trying to get greater market share, say like Pepsi versus Coca Cola, Pepsi couldn't malign Coke with insinuations of evil doings day after day, week after week, year after year. But if it could, Coca Cola would surely suffer the same fate Hillary has: an aura of contamination, an undefined sense of misgiving about her character, a deep seated doubt about her competence, all engendered by the never ending criticism of everything she's ever done or attempted to do. I think she has to figure a way to get rid of that black cloud hovering over her head, not to win the presidency, but to be able to govern effectively after she does win it.<br /><br />john<br />tatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10088632798195131329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972382144120426476.post-19182859815058878682016-07-01T07:49:02.878-05:002016-07-01T07:49:02.878-05:00Good article, NS.

After reading this it struck me how sad that the folks you spoke to, who seem like decent people trying to survive while longing for the "days of old", represent so many Americans who will be voting for Donald Trump because they feel they have no other choice. They seem to hate what Hillary stands for while missing the disaster that Trump would be. It just boggles my mind that a once great Republican party gave us this candidate and we actually nominated him.<br /><br />SandyKAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972382144120426476.post-7936397590615729512016-07-01T07:36:14.118-05:002016-07-01T07:36:14.118-05:00I can't explain why, but today's article i...I can't explain why, but today's article is a real cathartic relief. Perhaps it's a feeling that come what may, we will not only get by, but improve as a nation as time passes. Even though I'm against everything he stands for, I voted for Bernie Sanders partly in memory of my grandmother, who was an IWW member, and because he was able to take a melancholy song and turn it into a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2nwRiuh1Cug" rel="nofollow">campaign ad</a> of hope. It's depressing to realize our best prospect for president will feature four years dominated by Sidney Blumenthal and other political operative's slime.
