My grandmother showed an amazing flash of wisdom the other day when some of my liberal relatives were trying to pull an “occupy” comment out of her.

My niece asked her about what the thought during the great depression when the banks were “stealing” everyone’s homes.

My grandmother said that they didn’t think of it much at all. They were too busy doing what they had to do to get by. She said it wasn’t even called the great depression till years afterward. Most of their neighbors didn’t lose their farms because they lived within their means and didn’t have much to begin with. Those who lost their farms were living on the plains and fell into debt during the drought. Urban people got hurt because they couldn’t take care of themselves without money like rural folks did.

She warned my niece that some serious pain was coming her way because of all the excess crap she has that she thinks she needs. One day it will be gone and she’s going to hurt because of it. Granny said all they ever had was a radio for the whole family they only listened to it for an hour or two at night.

Sounds like your niece got an A in her college history course.

Liberal professors have done much damage.
