You're on to something there, Alia. I see in many here, the cultural behavior beginning in the sixties, of the "Me first" generation.

You can see it in post after post. ME! ME! ME!

Even some who cloak it in caring about the Constitution, are thinly disguising their desire to get their own way about everything all the time, and their expectation that the President should do everything they want, or they throw tantrums.

It's not just liberals who have been affected by this self-centered, it's all about me, never grow up, sick culture. Unfortunately, we see it every day right here on FR.

Strange, that same thing could be said about the Open Borders Pro Illegal Immigration movement.

Wizard..you are one of the real treasures left at FR, and I stand in awe of your ability to express yourself..You are amazing.

I was thinking about this today while driving through Fort Bragg. You are quite right.

I was thinking about the world my parents (WWI, Korea) knew, and the one I currently dwell in.

I think I can synopsize the difference: In the here and now, it's all about "who loves me" versus my parents generation who were on about whom they loved and cared for and about -- rather than who loved them. I see our soldiers submitting their lives in order to serve, and their families who love them and would do anything for them.

May this kind of love grow.
