The Republicans screwed us twice. They lied to us to get our votes and then stabbed us in the back. It happened 8 years ago and the 4 years ago. NEVER AGAIN!
We are becoming desperate to maintain the way of life and morals we had in the 50’s but the erosion of that quality of life has been sold to the highest bidder for votes followed up by lies.
Granted, technology is much greater but morality and responsibility for one’s own actions is far, far worse. We have grown from depending upon ourselves to depending on the government and the Norman Rockwell’s America has been totally trashed in the name of political correctness.
I’m old now and hope I won’t be around to see the end of the story of the America I once knew...and it will certainly come soon thanks to our millennial generation, the women’s movement, and our Republican Party becoming a pseudo Democrat Party.
No form of government has ever survived in history and this government will soon go down in the history books as a repeat of the failures of all governments of the past.
Why? The answer is simple: Politicians stay in office by “doing the will of the people”. As time goes by laws, policies, rules and a whole host of “goodies” are thrown to the people to ensure votes. With each bag of goodies comes a string...they must vote for the giving party or politician to get these goodies. It’s kind of like baiting hogs into the trap. However, once the door slams down it cannot be reopened and the recipient of the goodie will watch his freedoms die.
We have come to this point and it may be impossible to at least change this direction we now take for a short while in our future history...but the day will certainly come...and soon it seems.
Bump! I’m old too. And I agree with you 100%.
I doubt these postcards will change Ryan’s behavior. He will suffer little if the RATS win in November. He is set for life and probably cares little about common folks like us.
Your post made me cry.
I am old, too, but it breaks my heart to know that my grandchildren will never know the wonderful America that I grew up knowing.
