Magnificent.

I checked this out - the name, the campus, and the email article, are all genuine.

Great find.

Good post, but please...the grammar and spelling!! The other thing we don't want to promote is poor grammar and equally poor spelling.

I rec'd this yesterday via email. I fowarded to everyone in my email address book this a.m. Anyway, thanks for posting it.

I didn't write the article, I simply copied and pasted. I refuse to spell and grammar check someone else's editorial. We'll call it freedom of speech and end it there! By the way, there's a typo in your last line ;)

I have been just a "looky loo" at FreeRepublic for several weeks. I registered in order to reply to this superb post.

I forgot to say "Thank you"

But my greatest fear is that it will become known as America's 'last generation.' Born in the bleakness of the Great Depression and hardened in the fire of WW II, they may be the last American generation that understands the meaning of duty, honor and sacrifice. It is difficult to admit, but I know these terms are spoken with only hollow detachment by many (but not all) in my generation. Too many citizens today mistake 'living in America' as 'being an American.'

Excellent post.

But I call BS on the above statement. They did fight and die in WWII; BUT they raised the hippy generation, started America down the socialistic path with FDR's domestic "solutions", and %70-%90 will turn out to vote Kerry for all their "gimmies"; I'm not seeing the duty, honor and sacrifice there.

I believe this article was posted last week, but we need to drive the point it makes home, this election is just as important as it was in 2000. Back then, I said that "America is at a crossroads" and as we can plainly see, we are still at that junction today, even more so in this post 9-11 world.

Well, I think the reasoning behind the "hippies" (which like you, I despise with a lot of disgust) is that the World War II generation had it so hard with Depression and war is "they wanted to see their kids have better." I think they might have overspoiled them a bit and we ended up with the hippies. In short, we've gotten fat and lazy on the whole. I know it is every parent's dream to see their kids have it better, but I often wonder if the hippie generation had it too good.

Great post! This should make you stand up and be counted. I will pray that the Lord will guide and bless us with the right decisions and reward us with a just and righteous leader GWB.
