>> There’ll always be an America; just not the one we grew-up in and loved.
America is an ideal, not a place. The ideal is dead except in the hearts of a dwindling number of people. When the last free-range children of Gen X pass away, then America will truly be gone forever.
Future generations may reuse the name, but they will lack the divine brilliance of the Founding Fathers who created the first nation in human history where the individual mattered more than anything else.
Work crews removed statues of Gen. Thomas “Stonewall” Jackson, Confederate naval officer Matthew Maury and Gen. J.E.B. Stuart from the thoroughfare. Before Stoney’s decree, protesters toppled a statue of Confederate President Jefferson Davis. Although the figures themselves are gone, their pedestals remain.
Northam’s plans to remove the Lee statue stalled until the Supreme Court of Virginia cleared the way last week in unanimous rulings against two lawsuits, saying that in a democracy, “values change and public policy changes too.”
You're way too romantic. The future will be different from what we see now, because it will have different people in it. For starters: Hasidic Jews. Orthodox Jews. Evangelical Christians of many colors. Traditional, Latin-Mass Catholics. Lots and lots of all those people, because they are having buckets and buckets of children (5,6,7,8,9,10 or more per family), and so are their children, and they are sending their children to their own schools. And except for the Hasidic Jews, these groups regularly send some of their boys into the military.
And the BLMers, the AntiFags, the Feminazis, the bankers and bankerines, the druggies, hyper-preppies, the lobbyists' and politicians' children. . . if they're reproducing at all, it's by ones and twos, to divorced or never-married parents, which damages a child's ability to thrive as an adult.
Plenty of interesting foreigners will be having real numbers of children. But they are mostly of the hard-working variety, and they do tend to appreciate America.
So, America could look somewhat different, but those who "show up" for the future may be fundamentally quite similar.
Yes, we have definitely taken a left turn for the worse.
