How did we let this happen?

What is going on in our country during this election season? When did we all lose respect for anyone who doesn’t agree with us? When did think we were so arrogant as to think anyone one of us — or group of us — has the only right answer?

When did we stop listening to reason and facts? When did compromise become a bad word? When did America become not a Nation for All but a Nation for Some?

When did Christian ethics get so turned upside down? All we all have to do is look in the mirror and ask ourselves: How did we let this happen?
