“Now are the times that try men’s souls.” So wrote Thomas Paine in a pamphlet published in January of 1776. Although the booklet was called “Common Sense,” it was actually the first of a series that Paine wrote titled “The American Crisis.”

The crisis, of course, was the Revolutionary War and the establishment of a new country with a new government.

But here in 2017, there are many of us who can feel Paine’s pain. Indeed, these are the times that try men’s souls. And America is in crisis — perhaps as much as it was 241 years ago. To be sure there is frustration, anxiety, confusion, stress and insecurity aplenty spread across the fruited plain.

Another liberal screed by a nitwit who thinks bad things/critical issues began last January.  Things are about like they were many times in our nation's histroy.  I can't recall a time in my near seventy years on this planet when there weren't numerous critical problems facing the country.
Although I voted for him, I'm not a big Trump fan. I wish he'd trash his Twitter, and many times I've wished he'd keep his big fat mouth shut.
However, I believe actions are more important than words. And apart from his juvenile rantings when pipsqueaks attack him, he's done a number of good things.

I'm currently reading David McCullough's "1776," about the American Revolution. Just last night I read that quote from Paine and the context in which it was written. Anyone using those majestic words - and what they truly meant - to whine about Trump should be  bopped upside the head.
