We Americans must adjust our moral compass

Posted February 18, 2020 12:00 am

What has happened to our country? Integrity is defined as honesty and strong moral behavior. What destroyed it?

We are constantly angry at one another, a political party infighting on one side and a political party showing blind loyalty on the other.

Name calling by a president of the United States, while using barroom language on network TV for every age group to repeat. Our Congress and Senate working against the betterment of our country.

We have become the "ugly Americans" of the past. How can we rally around anyone to help our country unite when we are questioning every statement made by them. Truth has become buried in illogical rhetoric. We are moving backward and becoming Arcadian. Primitive man had enough sense to look ahead to the future and make life better for himself not more miserable for others.

Americans, stop the insanity. My grandchildren have to live with the results. If we do not adjust our moral compass you can join me in weeping for them and the future of our country.
