Terrible news. It means that the recent congressional wins are very fragile in the long term.

Something needs to be done to inspire the young.

There were 155.6 million females in the United States in 2009. The number of males was 151.4 million.

At age 85 and older, there were more than twice as many women as men. People under 20 years of age made up over a quarter of the U.S. population (27.3%),

and people age 65 and over made up one-eighth (12.8%) in 2009.

I agree. I think the 50+ generation may be the last truly patriotic generation.... the generation that sees Communism and Socialism for what they are. The government run schools have done a fine job of brainwashing the next generations. Thank God my kids listen to me and not the schools. All 3 are solid conservatives and vote a straight R ticket. Unfortunately, most kids don’t.

This is what is happening:
