Oh well, American prosperity was nice while it lasted.

It sure was. I feel bad for my adult children and grandkids. They are facing a tough future.

ATTENTION!

"If you agree with that line of thinking, you are a pathetic dumb ass!

See if you can tear yourself away from your 'reality' TV and Starbucks for a minute, pull your head out of your flabby ass -- and LISTEN UP!!

To ALL those whining, panty-waist, pathetic maggots, it's time for a little refresher course on exactly why we Americans occasionally have to fight wars.

These sons-of-bitches are plotting, as we speak, to destroy our country and our way of life any way they can.

You've fallen asleep AGAIN, maggots, and you may not get another chance!

NOW GET OFF YOUR SORRY ASS! - and pass this on to any and every person you give a damn about... If you ever gave a damn about anything."

General George S. Patton

I'm thinking that too. I wonder in what "America" my granddaughter will have to contend. This country is going to be an economically poorer, militarily weaker and more politically fractured entity by the time she's an adult. But, at least I can feel blessed for having the opportunity to experience our nation's last surge of greatness in the 1980s. We had an outstanding run, folks.
