Here on NT, we have veterans who grovel before a draft-dodger who insults all military ("losers") and particularly war heros.

Do they feel uncomfortable when they see their Lord sliming a genuinely admirable man?

Historians and sociologists will spend the next 100 years wondering where we went wrong.  Maybe the robots will figure it out.

If the video isn't in the "Conent" box, just hit the big "seeded content" button.

Simultaneous to Barack Obama starting his 2008 candidacy demographers were beginning to predict that America would be a a minority - majority nation by 2050. That news, combined with the prospect of the first minority race president freaked out tens of millions of whites who felt the end was nigh.  This led to birtherism from the right, and eventually Trumps entrance onto the national political scene in 2011. 

Why is there a "great replacement theory" ?   This all explains the "we are losing our country" themes of 2016, and holds true on the right up to the latest DHS advertisements claiming we are taking back "our homeland".   With all this decency has fallen by the wayside, if not trampled.

I guess I was off topic, I didnt realize the topic was only John McCain until I watched the video.

It was Trumps comments about McCain that really made me want anyone but Trump to get the nomination.

When Democrats called Romney a Nazi and laughed about lying about his taxes because it helped them win, the "decency" argument went out the window.

I don't suppose you have a citation?

Of course not...
