Saw this quote from Martin Luther King and see the same climate in USA today...
Shortly after President Kennedy’s assassination, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. wrote that it was time for our nation to do some soul-searching, and while the question “Who killed President Kennedy?” was important, answering the question “What killed President Kennedy?” was even more critical.
Dr. King believed the answer was that “our late president was assassinated by a morally inclement climate”: “It is a climate filled with heavy torrents of false accusation, jostling winds of hatred, and raging storms of violence. It is a climate where men cannot disagree without being disagreeable, and where they express dissent through violence and murder."
I see this happening again, or maybe it never stopped?

I agree..It apparently continues..... we hear of accusations such as "war on Women", you want to starve the children...war on the poor....bitter clingers...put your sheets back in the closet...you want dirty water...you want dirty air... We hear such pet names as "racist".."homophobe"....."neanderthal"...."Bible thumper"....and .."gun nut".
Hate and derision is daily being heaped upon us of both the Christian and the hunting/shooting fraternity..
We realize that the "Headstart" program is a waste..losers, babysitting other loser's children.. but if we suggest programs like that be cancelled..we are accused of "waging war against children"..
How about " You don't need more than 7 rounds to shoot a deer!"
....If we disagree, we are called a bunch of "gun nut, neanderthals"..
Yes; there is a lot of hate being pedaled around these days..
