I worked with a Korean War vet of that vintage years ago. He served at Chosin. I tried to get him to tell me some stories during our lunch break pow wows but all I ever got was “man, it was cold!”
And he is totally correct. Americans are mostly worse than sissies.
There is hardly a person left born before 1930. What they learned and how it was isnt being taught anymore. What a shame. Without them and their lessons we are nothing but a nation of spoiled, weakling, whiners.
They knew hard times, struggle and sacrifice. We still know none of these. We are a nation of hand wriging, litigous, greedy, cowards.
The folks I was talking about were born in the 30s.
They did Rock and Roll OK. Not so good at politics.
They were, as they are called, silent. Very overrun by their children, the boomers.
So this is made up...by you?
One of the best posts...I’ve ever seen you post.
Ditto all that!!
People who were born in the 1930s, were, most TOO OLD when Rock & Roll came into popularity to be interested in/caught up it. They were well into their adulthood,married,most had children, and the mid-later '50s were rife with strikes and other things that they had to worry about.
Also, they were born before the idiocies of Dr. Spock took hold, so were NOT raised like most BOOMERS were, but rather, they had grown up during the depression and WW II and knew what deprivation, rationing, etc. were like.
HOW OLD ARE YOU?
Please answer my query, since you are so interested in trashing other generations, which one can take credit for your birth?
It is a silly, pulp, letter written to send around to old people.
If you need a motivational piece of propaganda to make you support the US, what are you missing in your life?
The fact that they present as from an 80 year old it is simply a writing tool to evoke schmaltzy emotion.
I guess it did its job.
Thank you. See my post 21. My grandparents dealt with the Spanish flu of 1918. They would be ashamed of how America is dealing with the coronavirus. I know I am ashamed.
“People should remember that not all 80 + year old people are like Mr Dementia Patient of The Year...joe Who am I? biden.”
Definitely not. However, VERY few 80+ year olds (or most any other age for that matter) are able to deliver a spontaneous soliloquy that reads as though a literature major spent 3 hours wordsmithing it.
YEP we used to have very you g men storming the beaches of Normandy NOW our young men are storming the toilet paper isles DEMANDING the clerks get them TP!!!
I am far more ashamed than you are I am completely devastated at how our nation is behaving!!
You should be ashamed of yourself.
Corn Pop will plagiarize it for his next, “briefing” if the teleprompter is up and running.
WE, whom argue and debate politics and have the insight God allows us.
WE, whom offer solutions to problems that shouldn't exist in the first place.
WE, whom know there is an entity responsible for the destruction of American rugged individualism.
WE, whom do nothing about changing or shutting down public school.
SCHOOL used to be, and should be a place of learning for a child to become a successful and productive member of American society. Instead, we've allowed public school to breed the likes of bernie sanders, chuck you schumer and nazi pee lousy, and rather than stop the conditioning process that begets these abominations, we argue with Satan himself and get nowhere because of it.
I sincerely hope America wakes up after we've been forced tp stop our crazed work and schooling momentum and return a little more Godly wiser and with the common sense, walking around and chewing gum at the same time normalcy of the free-est and Godliest nation on the planet
Nah - then he paused, slowly gripped his umbrella, and smacked the pigeon that was eating the seeds he had strewn by his feet as he told his story.....(from an old Cheech and Chong skit)
The evolution, particularly over these past 3 or 4 decades, into a Soviet-style communist police state has been astounding... Almost no person under the age of 60 has the slightest understanding of the real freedoms we once had... Freedoms we as a Nation willingly gave away through inattention to the internal threats the Nation faced...
The brilliant communist strategy of starting or engaging us in regional wars around the globe that masked their true objectives within the United States was one of the greatest rope-a-dopes in history...
Now here we are, the CPUSA's subsidiary, the democrat party, has come completely and proudly out of the closet, hell-bent on hammering the final nails into freedom's coffin...
In the long run, it is too late for the ballot box to restore even a semblance of the Founders original intent of a Constitutional Republic...
The tree awaits...
Your post bears repeating, and boldly at that. I've been saying that we can't vote our way out of this for quite some time.
I really miss the country I grew up in.
Just a repost. Not made up to the best of my knowledge. Thought it would be worth sharing.
For certain that not many of our aged Freepers are like this gentlemen. Shame, shame.
