29. They lost it a long time ago.

They lost it when they ran Raygun for President, because John Wayne was dead!
Since then they have been getting crazier and crazier, which is why I plan to leave in a couple of years when I can retire.
I have fought these battles with these poor excuses for human beings for nearly 50 years.
I plan to retire to a place where there is actually a socialist party, about half of the population do not believe in god, the cops do not shoot first and ask questions later, (they find it a problem if they have to shoot at all) and there are few big trucks on the roads, which seem to abound here in the US.
I did my share. I am done!
Some tell me that many people in Germany left soon before that country changed for the worse. I can see that happening here, and don't want to end up in some concentration camp, because I do not have the same ideals as they do.
