Facing Harsh Realities
of the Past and the Present!

America was never ever [fully] great in all of its history. Sure, there were outstanding flashes of brilliance, of goodness, and of exemplary leadership. But America's strength has been in its aspirations, its dreams, and its infectious and dynamic optimism! Thus, it is really a nonsensical and even an idiotic proposition to suggest that we should or will "make America great again!" The nation has been on a historical journey ... it has been inspiring, and idealistic. It has been bloody, it has been heroic. It has also been shameful, cruel, and simply awful. But the unique thing about America is that it has constantly evolved, it has generally been growing and maturing politically, socially, and economically.
In November 2016, however, the country stumbled and fell on its face. We awoke to a call for intransigent, and unapologetic regression to reactionary impulses to progress, and to common sense, and higher ideals.
Racism has never gone away from daily life in America. And perhaps this evil will always be around in one form or another. But at present, racism is back in full force with the blessings of a racist and corrupt President. His idea of greatness is going back to the ugly face of America !
Fortunately, the end of the current disease may be near. Just today, Congress (the democrats) are standing up to this evil man ... they are embarking on a process of Impeachment to put a check on him !!!
