I agree, If you are older than say fifty, you can feel daily the reality that the tides and the winds have shifted in an ugly, diseased direction the last twenty years. And the shift has accelerated dangerously the last five. As the tool of a malignant evil, Obama has succeeded in his cancerous promise to "Transform" America.
Yes, the same Americans who believed during the Cold War era that anti-Communists were worse than ‘progressives’ — many ‘news’ reporters and editors, and most of academia — have continued to believe in their truly anti-American perspective of how the world “should” work. So we now have a generation where today’s professors were the students of these anti-anti-Communists.
So Orwellian speech, politically correct control of language and thought, and total assault on morality are accepted as everyday life.
And now we have a country where most voters under 50 have no idea what a free country really means, and what ‘communist threat’ really means.
