Nopardons, you’re absolutely right.
The Left has attacked everything that is American, in every way, right down to how we dress.
All an effort to ensure that the America of our ancestors - the nation of the protestant work ethic, the rugged individual, the limited government, the Judeo-Christian tradition - would be scrubbed from the historical record.
And it has left us with the current cultural and economic desert.
We lived in Chicago for a while and when we first moved there, one of our first stops was the downtown ( the one on the Miracle Mile, in Watertower didn't exist yet ) Fields and then Carson's. They were once great stores and their passing hurts my heart!
My mother always said that: YOU BEHAVED THE WAY YOU WERE DRESSED!" and she was correct.
Today, sadly, most people dress like slobs and behave badly.
Men don't shave and imagine that looking like they constantly need a shave is somehow alluring. It is NOT and neither are "man buns" !
Women aren't any better and many look like they just rolled out of bed, when they appear in public.
Kids? Don't get me started and college students look like the very dregs of the Earth and behave like the filthy mobs during the aftermath of the French Revolution.
So called celebrities? Beneath the bottom of the barrel and their behavior follows suit.
Me and mine?
We all refuse to be members of this uncouth rabble and stick with the "old ways", as much as we can.
