New poll shows that 67% of Americans believe country more divided than 4 years ago

Sixty-seven percent (67%) of Likely U.S. Voters say America is a more divided nation than it was four years ago. A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that just seven percent (7%) think the country is less divided now, while 21% rate the level of division as about the same. Full story here….

Another question on the poll asked if they thought that the country was headed in the right direction. Only 25% of them thought that America was on the right track. I personally think that this is a pretty high number considering that congress only has a 7% approval rating and the dictator in chief is around 40% approval.

This begs us to question why has America has become so divided? In my opinion it starts with leadership and ends with accountability. In the United States we have neither. The populace has become so focused on their daily lives and become so disempowered due to economic adversity, that they do not have the time or inclination to become politically self-aware. This leads to a few different trends. First, it has led to dismal voter turnouts for both presidential and midterm elections. Second, it has led to the most uniformed voting populace in the history of the country, who votes for goodies or along party lines.

The leadership that we have in both parties are unaccountable and are effectively agents for the large multinational corporations. Don’t think that is true? When is the last time a CEO of a fortune 500 company went to jail? Ken Lay Enron ? The American people have been drawn into thinking that Race, Religion, and Party affiliation is what defines them as a group within the geopolitical landscape. However, nothing could be further from the truth. The only classification that matters to the elite interests who influence our country is the amount of wealth and power one has.

In order to return the greatest experiment in personal freedom the world has ever seen to glory. Individuals must shed the a fore mentioned classifications and concentrate on what brings us together in solidarity. If you wonder what that is, read the bill of rights and think about what kind of future your children are going to have.
A house divided cannot stand, meaning that if we don’t come together as a nation of self-empowered free thinking citizens and demand accountability from our leaders. The United States will exist in name only, as that everything that had made here the greatest nation in history will be gone.
