Yeah you are right. the greatest generation births the worst generation. The generation that fought off fascism is going to implement it. Sad...
We are at a time when there are more "gimmee" folks than working folks...and I mean prior to the massive layoffs...And more explicitly, the folks who voted Obama into office. Their ranks will stay the safe...It's unfortunate that Obama wants us to bow to them.
Those that came through the depression were the **teachers** of the boomers! Also those that came through the depression etc gave us the following:
** The IRS
** The federal reserve
** Direct election of Senators
** The feminist movement
** Unions
** FDR's New Deal
** Johnson's Great Society
** Farm subsidies
** Thoroughly infiltrated our media and schools with communists
** And a thousand other socialist programs and offices
So....The Greatest Generation and their parents laid the foundation for the destruction of the Constitution and the socialist state we have now.
But....I have a theory for why this why this happened.
Government schools opened in the mid-1800s to the early 1900s. Simply by attending government schools the children learned ( and continue to learn) that the government can take money from his neighbor to pay for a service that his parents want for tuition free! Well?...If the government can take money for schooling why not THOUSANDS of other socialist programs?!!!
If we want to return our nation back to the Constitution then we **must, must, must, ** close down the government schools. They teach socialism because their **are** socialism! We must get our nation's children into private conservative schools.
You mean the generation that elected FDR four times by some of the biggest margins ever?
1932: 472-59
1936: 523-8
1940: 449-82
1944: 432-99
The truth is the apples don't fall far from the tree. Greatest generation my ass.
