So, here we are, 2017.
America finds itself bumping along with two distinct camps lined up vehemently opposed to one another, those that love the America of their grandparents era (1940s and 50s) and those that hate everything about that era.
The left has long been at war with "the best ideals" of America and American culture.
Why?
Why does the left hate Mom, baseball, apple pie, Norman Rockwell, and Chevrolet? And love abortion, transgenderism, gay, lesbian, bi-sexual, anti-Patriotism, anti-Americanism, and anti-Capitalism?
Because the left could never measure up to the lofty goals that come with being that kind of American, it was far too hard to try and fail and accept their place in society.
They could never make any sport team, let alone the football team, or the cheerleading team, nor were they very good at the hard sciences -- The left is primarily made up of the dorks in high school that couldn't conform and made it difficult to have anything nice at high school because they would just ruin it for everyone else.
In fact look at the Astronauts of the 50s, 60s, and 70s...Every young man wanted to be an astronaut, no one wanted to be a women's studies professor, young men set about to study the hard sciences and we led the world in mathematics and engineering -- Since the left has taken over education, where does America rank now in the hard sciences, the sciences that truly matter -- Is America better off since schools stopped rigorously teaching the hard sciences in favor of promoting "self-esteem." School teachers should only get paid if students can read, write, and do arithmetic (yes, including algebra) anything short of that is failure and they should only receive a minimum salary until grades improve in those areas and any discussion about transgenderism should be grounds for firing due to wasting tax payer dollars.
Men were rugged individuals and women actually cared about their family and taking care of themselves, actually embraced modesty and hygiene.
And then the 60s came along!
The 60s completely re-wrote the book about men and women and roles and identity...It created confusion and to the "losers" it meant that in the new society, that they could be cool, smoking pot, not committing to a relationship, not finding permanent meaningful work, lacking spirituality, and most definitely lacking any fundamental patriotism.
The left attacked everything that was good, the things that created good neighborhoods, good schools, good communities.
The left attacked Christmas and Thanksgiving, they attacked religion, for every success the left enjoyed "the best parts of America" began to die and be replaced by a secular unfeeling, uncaring, oversexualized, ungrateful, entitled, lazy, morally bankrupt society.
Those that cling to the hope that America will someday regain its moral compass and take its place as the true leader of the world once again in science, math, and engineering do so with the vision that the "good times aren't really over," but near and ready to come roaring back -- America is ready for its inoculation to cure its soul sickness and literally "get better" by once again embracing the known tried and true values that make people good people, honest, hard-working, dedicated, and committed to faith, family, and love kind of people.
The left does not possess any superior ideas, their ideas only come with pain, decay, and illness -- The left is not superior to any of us on the right, they lack any of the skills or abilities to truly Make America Great (Again)!
If America stands a chance at ever reclaiming its place in the world we must continue to fight every one the left's vacuous ideas -- Quite frankly their ideas don't require any investment, morals, values, forbearance, or discernment -- Their creed is simply "if it feels good, do it."
Show me in history where a great society remained great and relevant after adopting the life of Caligula...And by the way, we all know the end of that story now don't we.
Give Mom, baseball, apple pie, Norman Rockwell, and Chevrolet another chance!!!
Nah.
Ten years in, I'm just hitting my stride.
Appreciate the commitment if nothing else.
Because they suffer from a mental disorder, low self-esteem, inadequacy i dunno...
They’re F’ed in the head.
Birth control. No draft.
You're not insulted when they presume to explain
to you the articles you read three days ago? Their
material is stolen and recycled and presented to you
"anew" as if you didn't really grasp it the first time.
That's just fine?
That should be rewarded?
The left has a nearly perfect track record of promoting that which brings us down and opposing that which raises us up as a free people in a nation ruled by law and decency. That makes it very simple in terms of whom to support and, more importantly, whom to oppose (because I find it very hard to truly get behind ANYBODY in Washington).
A good predictor of the left’s position of on any particular issue is whether or not it will help attack and tear down Judeo-Christian beliefs and values.

I am trying to place the reference/allusion, but cannot.
...despite its struggles over integration and its Cold War fears and tensions, America was a thriving, powerful, exuberant, virile, blooming nation in the 1950's and '60's; and young Americans - the brooding Hamlets among them - were haunted by their fathers' monumental achievements in making it so. And the sullen, swaggering Iagos among them felt stifled, and jealous of what their fathers had done without their help in the Second World War, those fathers had beaten out the very fires of hell. No feat could stand beside that without seeming small, and who would ever admire them as their fathers had been admired?...From America-Lite by David Gelernter - a good read.....

Yeah, the people who built western civilization with its high living standards
Collectivist will see one person do something not acceptable to their standard that whole group is bad. unless that group fits their narrative.
Unfortunately liberals tend to be the successful. Look at Silicon Valley-mostly leftist. Look at the college-educated crowd-mostly leftist. Look at the glitterati-mostly leftist. Look at the fact that the rich tend to be leftists and vote so leftist. The rich vote Democratic and all the rest of us in flyover country vote Republican. They’ve been trying to figure that out forever.
Evil seeks to destroy Good.
LOL tell your Bush buddies the jig is up. And please get your mind around the fact it is 2017 not 1990 or so
Just ordered it, thanks for the reference.
“The left has a nearly perfect track record of promoting that which brings us down and opposing that which raises us up as a free people in a nation ruled by law and decency.”
So true...It still baffles me that people vote for them...In spite of all the failures left in their wake.
