Me too, haircutter.
We should have fought our peers when we were younger. We were too busy working, raising our families, and shaking our heads at those idiots in our generation.
When we castigate them, we need to take a good look at our failure to confront them back then. I never thought they would insidiously worm their way into all our institutions, but they did, right down to the Girl Scouts.
Our failure is that we didn’t fight them back then. I am afraid it is now too late, for they have ruined everything they have touched, and have taken our country down without a shot being fired. All they needed was their loud mouths and rhetoric!
Look back to the 60s, and see how many of “them” have successfully infiltrated into all aspects of our lives. Never thought much about the McCarthy period, was very young at the time, but now am beginning to think he was right.
We deserve the scorn of our children and grandchildren. We were asleep, and never thought they would succeed. Now all we can do is grieve the loss of our country, because we took it for granted.
oh so true...
while I was raising my two gifts, I was in local politics a bit..my kids hated it!!! lol but when they became adults they both admitted they were raised by a conservative Republican and they will always follow the same path..
when they began dating they asked their dates...’are you Democrat and do you smoke?’ if they answered yes to those questions...they said...bye bye...my mom will never like you...it became a running family joke...
time to call it a day...and what a day it has been...
sweet dreams to all...
