Who is truly ashamed of America?

A few years ago, John McCain said, in an interview with Bob Schieffer, that, “I’m ashamed of my country. I’m ashamed of my president and I’m ashamed of myself..… It is really, really heartbreaking.”
He was praised, over and over by Republicans.
Compare what McCain said with what Michelle Obama said that sent Republicans into a tizzy, “For the first time in my adult lifetime, I’m really proud of my country, and not just because Barack has done well, but because I think people are hungry for change.”
She was highly ridiculed and insulted.
The hypocrisy is that McCain openly says that he is ashamed of his country and gets praised. Michelle Obama said that she was really proud of her country, and her words were twisted into a claim that she hates America. 
Today’s Republican Candidates, led by Donald Trump and Ted Cruz, try to tear down the United States and are lauded by the extremists and other Republicans and their candidates. Democrats Bernie Sanders, Hillary Clinton and Marc O’Malley are not saying “let’s make America GREAT again,” as Republicans espouse. They want to "take America back, again."
They complain America doesn't work anymore, then say it's the Progressives who broke this unbroken country. Democrats still believe America is great. It's the right-wingers who complain, "It's not my country, anymore." or "It's just not the same since....uh...that...uh fella got into the White House.."
They want to take America back, but, from whom, they never say. Democratic candidates believe and say, America is still the greatest, strongest and best country on Earth. Who are the true American Patriots. Dr. No and Goldfinger wanted the same goals as the Republicans

Education is the key to civility

Republicans have been in a “war” against public education for many decades; invariably against funding to support America’s most vital institution(s).  Techniques are to oppose state and Federal  initiatives to decrease taxes spent to support public schooling in states under their control; encourage charter schools owned by wealthy, private Republican donors; supporting anti-education individuals to “run” the State and Federal systems (DeVoss?); allow absurd tuition increases; closing schools in desperately needed areas; cutting educators’ salaries; lacking raises, pensions,  maintenance, supply, extracurricular activities, new books and supportive materials; and, much more. They profess their “support” of education; even falsely claiming to be the “party of education.” This includes K-12, H.S. and College/University levels.  Schoolbooks, such as those produced primarily by the Texas Republican State Board of Education, deny mention of significant historic...

I still have some people - not many - who support trump, as it turns out. Even those of my persuasion. They think trump is good for the U.S. because he supports Israel. I agree, that's great. And, despite what trump created with Obama's being a Muslim, born in Kenya, even Obama was supportive of Israel. Netanyahu was rude to Obama, even during the campaign which people forget about, and still, Obama was kind a respectful.  AGAIN, I say, trump's decision to back out of the Iranian deal would allow Iran to return to their Nuclear dreams, which is NOT good for Israel or the U.S. They would firstTHREATEN Israel often and Blackmail the U.S. That is common sense when you take time to think about it.

Trump is now somehow a religious idol

Some religious fanatics have officially gone bonkers. The far right have been pushing a meme for several years now that the amoral creature, conman, egomaniac, and bad person in the WH “has been sent by God to be ‘a vessel for the purposes of the faithful’ in the role of King of the United States of America,” according to Katherine Stewart.  A firefighter picks up a Bible in a moment of revelation and automatically turns to Isaiah 45. Agent Orange is also number 45. Coincidence? I think so. This disclosure is because Cyrus in Isaiah 45, is “saved” and becomes Emperor of Babylon, freeing the Jews. These Christian Nationalists, no relation to the saner version of ages past, believe the adulterer, misogynist, oaf in the White House, who is encouraging them, will save humanity.  Tony Perkins, Ralph Drollinger and V.P Mike Pence support it, as well. Deport them.
