I think I get the gist of that. However, I have developed an indifference to the plight of Black Lives Matter, By Any Means Necessary, CAIR, etc. and I don’t see how that could be construed as negative when I could do a whole lot worse...just like they do.
Bkmrk for later.
Very good piece. We let this happen to ourselves.
Let’s face it.
It AIN’T the America that I went to war to defend and protect.
It AIN’T the America that I grew up in.
It AIN’T the America that stemmed the tide of Communism.
It IS the America that got on it’s knees facing the phantoms of Communism, and it’s brother, Socialism, while they unzipped with a big smile.
It IS the America that doesn’t give a CRAP about anything, and I mean anything, that this nation has done for the greater good of the world.
As far as it goes, I see TWO THIRDS of the populace of this nation, that need to be moved out of the way, so the rest of the populace can save this nation from going to the Texas-size cockroaches!!!
The next 100 years.
Political system is completely dominated by the pajamaboy brigade running full speed in to socialism and fulfilling the multicult fantasy of a diverse society. Muslim and third world immigrants will overtake the majority. Muslims start the political process to gain power. Latino descent immigrants stick with Christian Socialist dogma they are use to in Latin America. Bloody war breaks out between the politically powerful and violent Muslims and the Latinos. Civil war 2 begins but rather than fight over slavery it will be fought between the Latino groups that want the free stuff and benefits they are use to receiving while the Muslims fight to establish a caliphate. Muslims win, Latinos go back south of the border. Whites and Blacks are considered the same as they are now. Whites for taxes, blacks for voting for democrats.
I do not have an optimistic view of USA’s future.
What caused you to excerpt your own material?
Why not post the whole thing?
Consider that this nation was primarily agrarian until the 1930’s. Even the city dwellers had to work, there was little to no government safety net except for the mentally ill and the truly destitute.
Americans had to work in order to eat and survive. Those who could not feed themselves and their families starved or depended on neighbors and family who pushed them to get back on their feet and become independent again. Self reliance was valued and expected by society. Those who believed they were owed something by others either kept their thoughts to themselves or engaged in direct theft from their neighbors. When caught for stealing they were punished immediately and severely by the community.
The decline of the nation and its values has occurred as people moved from rural areas where they were almost completely self reliant, growing their own food, tending their own livestock, building their own homes, and often making and repairing most of their possessions. As the nation became urbanized demands for redistribution of production and accumulated wealth began to grow. Self reliance declined as government began creating safety nets and redistributing income. We have gone from each citizen obtaining wealth and possessions through his/her own labor to citizens organizing into groups in order to wield enough political power to use the power of government to take the fruits of one man’s labor and give it to another.
As Lincoln stated, “A house divided against itself cannot stand.” No nation can survive half free and half slave. Half of our citizens today do not cherish individual liberty and self reliance. They instead demand the state take from others to meet their needs for food, clothing, shelter, cell phones, and pleasure.
We are at a crossroads where the productive class (the slaves) are making one more attempt to protest the tyranny of their unproductive neighbors allied with an all powerful government. It seems the government, and its allies, are determined to crush the rebellion. No wonder those who love liberty no longer recognize the nation.
The anti-conservative influence came mostly from large numbers of folks from Europe over the past hundred years or so—folks bringing a corrupt culture and religion that is antithetical to the morals from early America.
Good stuff.
Where do you think we went wrong?
Wow, beautiful imagery. Problem is that so few people actually recognize the mirror.
