The sad reality of the future

[Melvin]

This has been a very interesting month. I wish I could say I was shocked and surprised by what I have read, but the reality is I knew before the first word what to expect. The lament that is so often heard when I am around folks my age and just older is "How the hell did this happen? How did oblama get elected much less re-elected? How have things slipped so far off course?"

The simple answer is that 90% of Americans are liberal on a scale of 1-100%. Oh sure there are those that will stomp their feet indignantly about that but the truth of the matter is you don't really have to dig but just beneath the surface to get it to bubble out. These people would never think of themselves as libs until you say the magic words that could only gore a lib's ox and "WALLA!!!" here it comes. It isn't limited to any topic. It could be anything from 2nd Amendment to cat soup. The pre and post 1980 divide is a chasm wider than the Grand Canyon. In fact you would be hard pushed to find 1% of the post 1980 population that even knows how to spell conservative much less knows what it means. Let's hear it for public schools and liberal art colleges. They have successfully molded the young skulls full of mush into block headed automatons. Original thought is as foreign a concept as is personal responsibility. The idea of right and wrong, black and white is too "judgmental".

The post 1980 lot are not solely to blame. Their predecessors have a portion of the blame due them. Theirs is not about being blissfully ignorant. No theirs is a worse crime because they had the benefit of the knowledge to know what they were witnessing was wrong, but their cowardice aided and abetted the unfettered decent. Self adoration and self gratification is always ahead of community and country. Is it any wonder that true patriotism joined common sense in the graveyard a long time ago.

America was always a country that allowed its deeds large and small do the talking. Which is why it became the envy of the world and the desire of the heart for all those around the world who valued freedom above all. But now all it is, is words floating on hot air generated by a citizenry that has never done a damn thing for this country but wants to take credit for the deeds of their predecessors while squandering the rights, liberty and freedom that so many of those predecessors sacrificed for.

He's just so gosh-darned passionate about it. That's got to count for something, right?

You are what is wrong with the nation!! You have no ability to understand this because you were born after 1980. Obviously, you are an idiot.

I'm a 70's kid (barely). I have a liberal arts degree. I'm pretty dang conservative.

I was born in 1980 and I will agree a bunch of kids that went to school with are piles of lazinesd, ut to blame them for all that is wrong and going worse, is not really the answer. You want to be mad because the world is so stupid now, cool be mad. We aren't the the ones who made the PC boom in the 90's, we were kids. We didn't write the curriculum in school that directed us toward a nice, easy, high paying computer jobs and away from jobs where you use your hands. That generation of adults that taught us how to be lazy and jealous of what other people have might be a little more realistic place to blame. I'm not arguing that it isn't getting worse and probably going to get a lot worse but as the saying goes, "Don't throw rocks from your glass house."
