This will not last forever—when the war comes—a real war not a “Police Action” against a 3rd world nation. These folks will be drafted, set to work or sent to the camps. They will be the cannon fodder to send in human waves against the Chinese/Russians. Protests will not be permitted in this “crisis” era. PC, Afirmative Action, Rights, all will be a thing of the past. Rationing with be a new function of Government and hours of time spent in line for a bit of meat and cheeze—McDonalds will have nothing but turnip fries, and Veggie Burgers all for $20 a pop. I see dark days coming—lets hope I am wrong.
This is O/T, but I will make it fit in, because in some larger way, it does (and because I want to give proper respect to this incredible man and his feat while I’m thinking of it). I am watching the story of Lindbergh and his flight across the Atlantic for the 20th time-that man is in my top five heroes. One man, on his own, who did what no other had done before him. No government sponsorship or oversight, no professional training other than what he provided himself as a mail jockey and barnstormer. He did it all alone, or at least as an individual.
We’ll never see his like again, because the times which could produce a Lindbergh are gone. Now everybody tries to see who can be the biggest victim, the most “helpless” and therefore irresponsible for their actions. Everybody needs, or wants, Big Daddy Government’s hand-outs (taken mostly from those who still soldier on, trying to live up to ethics this world no longer believes in).
It makes me sick that a country which just a few decades ago could produce a Lindbergh, has chipped and chipped away at its own foundations
until the whole edifice is about to implode.
