I think I got an idea, Hell we were all kids.

I had friends who told stories, which I listened but it didn’t seem right or I just wasn’t interested to the point of acting on it. My interests were food, firecrackers, treehouses and sports. Anything else I shrugged my shoulders. Puberty and Sarah M.’s tight sweaters would help push me along the right way.. HeeHee.

I like to think I had a full childhood and now I’m having a pretty full adulthood.

I wonder with kids today having an abbreviated childhood that that’s the reason young people are so, well immature.
Their nature childhood was stopped by the intrusion of sex.

We got 20 year olds who play video games rather than work on their cars, cannot stand to listen to another opinion yet demand we listen to them, demand their every whim be met, “safe rooms” and throw a tantrum when they don’t get their way

I was a late baby boomer but I “identify” more with my parents generation than earlier boomers(not a hippy) or the later “Tweeners”

Gawsd, I feel old....

My second wife and I both enjoyed the company of older people. I always have.

That group seemed to have more common sense. I liked the things they talked about. They had a respect for the nation.

Today even the older folks hate the nation. The Leftists are convinced this is the worst nation ever. I have no idea how they can logically come to that conclusion.

During Reagan’s era, we freed up a massive number of people who lived in the U.S.S.R., or within it’s shadow. A number of other nations went Capitalist rather than Socialist.

We fought in two world wars and helped rescue others around the planet from despots.

The people in Vietnam would live free today if it weren’t for our Leftists.

Who do these people think will pick up the mantle and become the protector of the free world?

This just doesn’t register with them.

In the last decade we paid out around $5 trillion dollars for welfare, and to end poverty. We are doing it again right now.

What other nation on earth extends so much to people with so little?

The Left in this nation should thank it’s lucky stars for Capitalism. It has fed more people around the planet than any other ideology.

Still, the Left hates who we are.

Amazing...
