3, or 4 decades ago!

Not so long ago I was just an average little horny teenager, who wrote some poetry, but now, we need warriors, we can compose poetry later, if we are still here. I am old, and sort of ridiculous, I reckon, but all I know how to do is pass on what I know, and pray for better results. Hell, I wish I could have brought up some poets, but now, we need warriors. We don't need warriors to fight for globalist issues, we need warriors to fight for the USA. There are a whole bunch of pretend patriots, only pretending to be republicans, because that is where the money is! My kids and grandkids are American, just because.

KEYWORDS: culture; poets; warriors

You idealize a world that never really existed outside of stupid John Wayne movies.

"Globalist?" You mean like the United Fruit Company, Coca Cola or Pan Am? Do you want to make the mistake of "import substitution" (ie high tariffs and protected "national" industries) that caused once well off counties like Argentina to plunge to "developing world" status or like India did from 1948-1994, causing it to lose five decades of economic development?

Be a patriot, but leave nationalism to the Third World.

BTW: The working class is replaceable. The innovative and entrepreneurial classes are not!

FOOK you! I have spent over 6 decades supporting an ideal, and, now, you want to call me “stupid”? Tell me, little urban Pissant, just how many American Patriots, have you raised? Do you have one single kid, or grandkid, that you can depend on, to cover your ASS?

Actually, I like John Wayne, although he was in alot of bad movies. Nevertheless, one “Searchers” makes up for 100 “McQs.”

I did NOT call you stupid. I have NEVER thought you were stupid. I just alluded to the fact that John Wayne (much of who's work I like) made alot of movies that idealized the past and, in many ways, mythologized it.

Lets see, 1950s: Family lived in tiny row houses in near-slum neighborhoods. But hey, they had great "high paying working class jobs."

2000s: Family is more prosperous than they ever have been, thanks to a freer market, cheaper goods, and (yes) globalization (the GOOD kind from commerce, not the bad kind of "global governance").

Remember that the period of "Amurcan made" consumer goods was from the end of WWII, when the rest of the world had yet to recover from war and independence, until the oil crisis of the early 1970s.

Hell, “row houses”? That must be some sort of damn Yankee problem. All I had to do was work sort of steady, haul my butt to the bank, and, all of a sudden I own 5 damned acres! It is MINE! I can run my hiney out, and piss on any tree I find, and, there ain’t a problem. My trees are my trees!
