Why you should care, is that I am a member of that generation of folks that remembers what our Country was before the 60's radicals began destroying our country, culture, and future..
I am indeed sick, but still strong enough to muster the revolting reaction to the state of our National decline..
I can't say I haven't warned everyone that would listen to me, to react to the changes that have taken us down this road, sadly without much reaction from those that had to suffer my diatribes..
There aren't many of us left, to sound the alarm, and we are falling fast, to the tune of 1000 a day.. So if I were you, I'd PRAY for me to survive at least those of my generation to live long enough to overcome the apathy..
CARLO!!!!!!
God love ya Great to see you posting.
We will never surrender. Never.
I care, and I like your posts. So stick around, it will get better.
I so agree, Carlo.
God Love You carlo3b. I think I remember a conversation of should we let it (the nation) crash and burn, if am wrong my apology ... anyway Thanks for coming in to say what needed to be said .... Thank You!
Thank you! I have been screaming forever that apathy is the root of the mess our country is in today.
Carlo!!!
Hiya, Carlo!
B U M P!
Thank you, Carlo.
There are some of us younger ones (I’m in my mid-40s) sounding the same alarm, and we’re not going to stop.
Fellow member and traveler.
All of my teachers from 1975 on were friggin hippies and I hate hippies.
I care. I remember a great country. One we could take pride in. A time when “American greatness” meant something. A time when we knew our country was better than all the others.
A time when people were not suspicious of each other. A time when bearded savages flying planes into buildings was the stuff of science fiction movies.
A time when the president did not bow down in abject submission to bearded savages in flowing white robes.
A time when I was out all day every day in the Summer and came home just in time for supper and no one had Amber Alerts.
I could go on.
I wasn’t around much before the 60’s. I grew up thinking it was normal to have your bus driver carry a gun. It was a bus that took navy kids from the base to local schools. I didn’t think ask the other kids if their divers were armed. The yellow bus kids. The drivers were marines and happy not to be in Vietnam. It was 3rd grade I first saw how dumb goverment can be. When we had a fire drill we would go line up in the parking lot. I knew if it were a real fire we would all be run over by fire trucks. Maybe that’s why I am here.
slowly, but surely, people in the public eye are beginning to make known that they are terrified about what’s becoming of our country.
It was great to hear last week that Rush has finally said out loud that there’s a coup happening in govt by Zero and his radical commie cohorts.
But we need more people to come out, to come forward, to yell from whatever their public perch is that:
“we’re mad as hell and were not going to take this ANYMORE!!”
Hang in there.....We emember those days, too, and we’ve got battles to fight....even though we are getting tired....have missed your cooking posts...somehow.
Fight the good fight. Run the good race.
LBJ? LBJ, born in like 1908...Another Texas President who created his own Socialist Great Society, war on poverty and racial injustice.....
Created new major spending programs, medical care, urban projects, set up the National Endowment for the Humanities and the National Endowment for the Arts, , Johnson signed the Public Broadcasting Act to create educational television programs to supplement the broadcast networks...."War on Poverty" and healthcare reform...
Johnson set in motion bills and acts,creating programs such as Head Start, food stamps, Work Study, Medicare and Medicaid.
Of course, the rot set in way before the 60s. Libs, anarchists, communists, Stalinists paved the way for the 60s all during the early to mid 20th century.
Never having to lock your front door.
Leaving the keys in your car.
Depending on your neighbors for food from their gardens instead of the gov’t.
Hearing from your teacher almost every day America was the most wonderful country in the world (we knew that anyway because we sent shoeboxes of everyday stuff to the kids in Europe).
Starting each school day hearing a prayer over the loudspeaker.
Walking several blocks to the local park alone with no awareness that there was such a thing as a child molester in the entire universe.
Family reunions overflowing with love and good will.
Home cooking all the time.
No atheists, “gays” or socialists in your face.
I would give up all the computers, cell phones and other high-tech junk to get that life back.

Hey—you could eat a peanut butter sandwhich without getting sued then, too.
Right with you, Carlo. BTW, huggaroonies!
It was OK just to have fun. Nobody tried to make Americans feel guilty about just being alive.
Bttt
Ah yes:
Wandering the woods in the “mountain” across the road from our house and building woven stick “forts” to defend against the Prep School (Choate?) boys when they trespassed (I was 11).
Going to church and singing in the choir, so happy when my voice deepened enough to sing dass.
Pledge of Allegiance every morning at school (in a combined 7th/8th grade class).
Cub Scouts, then Boy Scouts, then Explorers with role models galore, including some of my teachers.
Working summers for neighnor farmers; hiking up to LI Sound bluffs to plink with a .22.
Encountering my first Liberal, my HS Latin teacher for four years. Amazed at how smart he seemed for a man having such stupid views.
Memorial Day parades with my Dad and the VFW marching as Honor Guards.
Then came college. Still cool until I graduated in 1965 with a real education in physics and math. Then a US Marine recruiter found me and promised me the chance to fly.
While I was training as a Marine, the social order started falling apart; I was too busy getting ready for, then deploying to Vietnam. When I got back in 1969 our country was breaking sown rapidly and I was confused badly.
I remain so today, I guess. What the hell happened?

Can’t turn back the clock...
We can see how the way of life we grew up with has become a distant memory, replaced by a cheap masquerade...
It started long before the 1960s. At the turn of the century it was the Anarchists, and then the communists. Then FDR basically gutted the constitution, and instituted a lot of National Socialist programs, while he had at least some full blown commies working for him.
Only after that, did LBJ come along with his Great Society welfare state, the Democrats going totally retard first in 1968 then in earnest in 1972.
you were right, may God bless you, and i also remember a bit of the shining city as it was. it was a glory to God.
God bless you dear Carlo..praying for you.
Thank you all, and GOD BLESS AMERICA..
dude....so glad I prayed for you! :)
I hear you, Carlo. I am sick and tired too. I was born in the late 40’s, grew up in the 50’s and 60’s and, today, I hardly recognize my country anymore. Beyond sad. It’s tragic. :-(
Carlo, Our biggest enemy is a press that is mesmerized by the current power structure and a republican party that doesn’t have the brains to pour piss out of a boot before putting it on. I fear we are near the end of a bloodless revolution and this guy will be ruler for the rest of our lives...
Where oh where is the outrage?!
Praise God for you!
Good to see ya!
I’ll have you at the top of my prayer list. Hang in and do the best you can. We need you!
I did not think the 60’s were all that great. Of course I was not white either.
I got racially insulted on a daily basis often with death threats.
I don’t know if everyone’s house was vandalized but ours was about 4 times a year.
The women really got treated like dirt. Read about O’Connor. She graduated 2nd in her class fron Stanford law and got zero job offers.
Liberalism and Political Correctness in their current form have gone way too far, but I think in the 60’s, they had not gone far enough.
God will reward you for all your suffering.
All my life I have tried to be extra nice to minorities to make up for the idiots who were nasty.
I love Jews. Maybe because every Jew I have known has been a lovely person.
Prayers that everything continues to improve.
agreed bttt.
Glad to see you’re feeling well enough to post.
Good to see you again Carlo.
LBJ was a monster, Texans knew that, he cheated his way into office. My father despised him, I grew up listening to anti-LBJ rants. He crawled into the oval office on the back of a liberal Masshole, JFK.
Son of man, speak to the children of thy people, and say to them: When I bring the sword upon a land, if the people of the land take a man, one of their meanest, and make him a watchman over them: And he see the sword coming upon the land, and sound the trumpet, and tell the people: Then he that heareth the sound of the trumpet, whosoever he be, and doth not look to himself, if the sword come, and cut him off: his blood shall be upon his own head. He heard the sound of the trumpet and did not look to himself, his blood shall be upon him: but if he look to himself, he shall save his life.And if the watchman see the sword coming, and sound not the trumpet: and the people look not to themselves, and the sword come, and cut off a soul from among them: he indeed is taken away in his iniquity, but I will require his blood at the hand of the watchman. So thou, O son of man, I have made thee a watchman to the house of Israel: therefore thou shalt hear the word from my mouth, and shalt tell it them from me. When I say to the wicked: O wicked man, thou shalt surely die: if thou dost not speak to warn the wicked man from his way: that wicked man shall die in his iniquity, but I will require his blood at thy hand. But if thou tell the wicked man, that he may be converted from his ways, and he be not converted from his way: he shall die in his iniquity: but thou hast delivered thy soul. (Ezeckiel 33:2-9)
I have never understood why Bush bowed down to the savages, either.
Everything did change because of the 60’s. Some for the better, but far more for the worse.
God bless you (((((Carlo))))))....it has been a very long time and much has happened. Wonderful to *see* you again, my FRiend! :-) xo
When I was growing up in the late 50s, well north of 45° latitude, there was not a single black resident in this small town (12,000), Shortly after, a few black families started moving in, and numbers increased until today you would say it is a "normal" percentage for the region.
I am proud that no racial incidents of any note occurred during this entire 50-60 year span, and in fact I don't remember a single one.
I will guarantee that the key to our lack of conflict was not "Liberalism and Political Correctness". It was more along the lines of just seeing people as people, without all the labels and minority "awareness".
Hope you heal.
