What do you want America to look like in 30-50 years?

I have not posted here in a while, but I wanted to reach out to my fellow freepers for your views on a very important topic: the future of America.

We know our current situation and its continued decline should the course not be altered. I am interested in what America will look like in 30-50 years should we reverse our current course.

So I am curious as to what that America looks like to you. What is your dream, best case scenario 30-50 year vision of America, all facets-overall culture, education, media, government, etc?

My heart will blow out of my chest long before 30 more years.

Johnny, I too have done my part and handed over...my legacy is in my children, grandchildren, great grandchildren. Yet I am no dreamer. I believe we will see things change. I believe we will see the tide turn, the Republic restored. It will be because of what we are doing, and what our children are supporting. It will be the real legacy we leave to our grandchildren, our great grandchildren.

My great, great, great grandfather was born in 1774...two years before the Declaration...his father was in Boston for the Original Tea Party.

We are survivors. We are a part of what made America great. We are a part of it now...and will be into the future, including the not so far future.

God will remove me from this scene in His time. And I will go, yielding willing to His Will. ‘Til then, I will give all to do His Will as He leads me regarding my part in the future of this, His country.

This country does not, never did, nor never will belong to Barack Hussein Obama.

Lord, to think what we COULD have been, if Reagan types had continued to be elected into office ...we’d be the Shining City on the Hill — diseases wiped out, democracy flourishing across the globe, cures for cancer found, nations lifted out of poverty, an outstanding standard of living here in the US. . . and better standards of living elsewhere, allowing people from around the world to REMAIN in their own countries, where they truly are most happy and allowed to live in their most authentic way.

My second choice would be a post apocalyptic place — either better or for worse .. . whatever the outcome, we will be set back a century or two. I pray that those who survive are GOOD people who will continue to advance liberty, freedom and our Constitution. I am working VERY hard to increase our chances for survival ...but it’s getting to be more of a struggle . . .

And I don’t even want to comment on what I believe we WILL look like in 30-50 years.

The 60 and under crowd will most certainly will not be the saving generations, but they can plant the seeds.

The reversal has to start with us. I am 30. If my generation and current conservatives and patriots do not start making inroads in the education system and gaining more influence in the media, then it will never turn around we will setence future generations “to a thousand years of darkness.”

I want an America where white males are allowed to have jobs and drink out of the same water fountains as the hispanic majority.

I want an America where blacks promote affirmative action for white minorities.

I want an America where someone other than a Clinton or Bush can be president.

Amazing, you have it totally, completely backwards, conservatism will die out as the younger generations take over.

I have to disagree with you. The younger generations are going to be footing the bill for all of the senior handouts (Social Security, Medicare) that will be doled out to a population of seniors that is currently growing in their number and in their avarice.

I think that when they're done paying for this huge glut of seniors, the younger generation will be desperately longing to exchange what will be their stifling high tax rates for the fresh air of some more liberty in their lives. Until this crop of seniors is gone, it's going to continue to be "gimme, gimme, gimme" and "pay me 'til I tell you to stop."

The sooner that this current generation of seniors is gone, the sooner that America can become America again.

Here’s what I would like to see:

A USA that has ended all affirmative action.
A USA that has abolished most of the New Deal and Great Society programs, because at long last they are recognized as failures.
A USA that treats homosexuality as the mental illness it really is.
A USA where everyone understands that our system will not function without Judeo-Christian values as the determining factor in stabilizing society, where we have prayer in our schools, at our football games, and our graduations.
A USA where a man can walk into a store and buy a machine gun if he has the money.
A USA where criminals are publicly hanged within a few days of being found guilty, if their offense warrants death.
A USA where criminals are put on chain gangs for long sentences at hard labor, and who emerge from their imprisonment as mere shadows of their former selves who will harm no one.
A USA where elections are monitored closely, with a fierce response to any cheating from any individual or party.
A USA where we can decide how many immigrants we really want, and where we forcibly eject unwanted invaders.
A USA where a man can work, save money, obey the law, and by doing wise things get ahead, instead of be rewarded for the most egregious failures.

None of those will occur, of course. It is not even the America I grew up in. But that would be a good country, in my opinion.

So the sooner the conservative voters die off, the quicker the Obama lovers can fix things?

How do you expect people who vote 66% and 77% for Obama to fix America, is that what you think he is doing?

Like North and South Korea. Marxists in the north freedom lovers in the south.

I can tell you that as the old die off, that conservatism is dying off forever, at the same time. I don't know what you can teach the under 30s and the young immigrants flooding in by the millions that will turn us back into a conservative nation.

California for instance is gone forever, the left hopes to take Texas in a generation or two.

Most Republicans don't vote conservative, or a conservative would be president today.

Republicans, especially older republicans watch their TV, collect their SS, and vote for the guy that makes them feel comfortable and doesn't threaten their SS.

So voting republican means nothing, but voting 66% and 77% democrat means that the those young Obama voters will return us to conservatism?

California for instance is gone forever,

I think that's a little bit over overstatement. The old USSR is gone, and Russia is casting bells for churches and commissioning them these days, so... forever?.... hardly. Blink of an eye and things can change.
