Since Barry could never tell a lie, errr, the truth, in his little insulated bubble world, here is the real state of the union, according to reality.
Sorry, the state of the union is not well. In fact things are pretty bad and getting worse. In spite of many, many, warnings going back decades, little has changed for the better. In most ways we are only going backwards. We are now in a place, put there by a small group of very selfish people, plans, that has been in the works for nearly a hundred years. The fruits of their labors are coming due. Our time is getting shorter by the minute.
Politicians in DC are doing all they can do to destroy the America we once knew. Its to the point that political solutions are likely no longer possible, unless voting habits majorly change quickly and candidates that stand for the constitution emerge from seemingly no where. Neither are likely at this point it seems. Most people seem blind to it all, awed by sports, big TV's, or whatever.
If that threat wasn't enough, we also face another threat from a major religion/political system, that few politicians take seriously. In fact the opposite, their heads are deep in the sand, they call out the few willing to speak the truth about our enemies. They are called nasty things like racists. But its not our enemy that calls us racists, its our own "elected" rulers. Our enemy however, they are crystal clear about where they stand. They are now within our ranks, not just on the other side of the world.
Meanwhile the force that could keep that enemy at bay, is being systemically neutered by the day. They are sent out to fight endless wars with no plans for victory (or at minimum an exit plan). Their budget is being slashed like never before, the people that have served have been treated like crap, especially those that have given up more. Morale is probably the worst its ever been, and the few leaders in their ranks that speak out are purged and shown the door.
What is worse about those cuts, is the government is spending trillions that doesn't exist, at rates unknown to mankind, that would make a sailor blush.
Meanwhile, the economy is the worst its been since the depression years of the 1930's. There are fundamental problems that are not being rooted out and destroyed. No, we are doubling down on those fundamental problems, only making it worse. A economic theory that has been debunked numerous times over the last century is still forced on the population by the political elite. The few bright spots left are being slowly but relentlessly snuffed out. The few gains in recent years are due only to the private sector, not the government wasteful over spending. Like the oil industry and Wal-Mart, both vilified by those that are ignorant.
A very small group of those that brazenly call themselves "progressives" are pushing various causes the almost no one supports. They want to force people in the name of "tolerance" to disregard their beliefs and traditions that have built our society. They want to grant rights that cannot exist and take freedom that does.
They send race baiters to stir up people, making them destroy their own communities. Not just by burning down the buildings and businesses, but also destroying their families with abortion and broken homes. All in the guise of "helping" them. They are left uneducated and hung out to dry. To become a chip on their shoulder, powder keg.
It gives the political elite the excuse of setting up the police state they want. Police become like the military where force is becoming the norm. The force is then used against the citizens, not an enemy. Many different groups are set on each other and blamed for the failures. The scapegoating is happening.
The country has faced threats and enemies as bad as today's. They were overcome by a mostly united country. Why are we losing now, when we should know better?
Apathy, lack of a real education, a conspiracy? Maybe a little bit of all of it?
