A little more straight talk, like Armstrong, could have possibly galvanized Americans of every town, regardless of age.
Musing...
I am not sure about that, but my foolish attributions to Americans of today for having the same earned and honorable impressions of our no-nonsense and boot strapped, action-oriented forefathers, was a mistake. A false assumption, on my part, that with Trump that we too would defend and protect.
I say that, because most of us saw the 60’s and we KNEW then that something BIG and Non-traditional was here, and not Good for America.
Western parents rather kept their fine defensive acumen and attitude against all foreign threat, but broadly speaking they failed utterly to see the national security threat in their kids, at home. Moms began to go out to work (for reasons) and the home wasn’t so well defended in that structure.
We, our generation, should have been shut down hard, at home. Our 60’s Rebellion in the West, and abandoning church on Sunday allowed us to set the world on fire.
Starting with icons like Jane Fondu-for-Brains.
Birth control arrived.
Desecration of the family.
Amoral Feminism wildings.
Abandoning the Lord’s Prayer in public schools.
Abortion made legal.
No fault divorce.
Single parenting.
Yes, now we reap what it all wrought. We demanded it and we got it.
Our guilt must keep us from arising, I think. Otherwise, it is not intelligent to sit warming to a frog boil.
Maybe we have Already been long “artificialed” “intelligented”, or made incapable of certainly martyrdom and definitely fight. No excuses, here.
Armstrong is simply old school and blames Socrates. 😄
