US political divide deepens as left’s hatred towards America grows

Heritage Senior Advisor and Research Fellow Allen Mendenhall discusses the growing political divide in the United States and the nation's changing sense of identity. “I think it’s a divided America; in fact, I think the red state blue state divide has become even more bifurcated in the last decade,” Mr Mendenhall told Sky News host Danica De Giorgio. “It’s not something I see easing up anytime soon, but I also see a lot more pride. “I feel as if the left has begun to sort of despise America’s traditions and despise America’s culture … a lot of them even hate America.”

[Yanis Varoufakis] Athenian view of US democracy

Instead, I surrendered to an emotional, personal, indeed an Athenian, take on the global hegemon whose development and actions have shaped us all. My earliest memory of America as a factor in my life harks back to a hot afternoon in early June 1968. A little more than a year after a CIA-backed coup had placed Gree

The country that once was the United States of America is now, in its 250th year, led by a president whose ignorance of history and policy is so profound that almost anything goes, including the initiation of wars fought for a foreign nation that is widely regarded as manifestly evil. I am of course speaking of the power that Israel has over US foreign policy in particular, though that leverage has been increasingly also impacting on the running of the economy and the elimination of fundamental liberties like freedom of speech.
