Our education system has pretty much indoctrinated the younger generation to heed whatever Government determines as they have little knowledge of what freedom is or what it took to have it. ‘Keeping it and maintaining it” is not in their vision......rather it’s all about take what you can while you can.

Happily, that is reversible and actually is likely to reverse in the normal course of events. As people mature, the smart ones become wiser, more conservative. Knowledge is power. Americans like rights to be individualists. Young adults have good minds and with information, make better decisions. Give them credit, they can learn and grow.

Our moment to win this the most peacefully is now because we are still the majority. Leftism has to cheat and use judicial fiat. WHY? Because liberals are the minority in America and thus must resort to tyranny.

Sadly, the vast majority of America doesn't perceive this; it has a distorted, warped view of itself. It thinks it is home to "idiots who elected these clowns," the Reids and Obamas and Frankens. Most of us say, "well that wasn't me, it must have been everybody else, the idiots, you know --" when "the idiots who elected these clowns" are fiction, ghosts, fake. We have contempt for an America that is fiction! The real America is ... folks like us who want government cut back to the minimum and freedom restored. Neither political party offers that option to vote for, so Americans have become extremely cynical with regard to voting.

NOW if we stand up, we will at least have our numbers. We have to believe in our fellow Americans.

....”NOW if we stand up, we will at least have our numbers. We have to believe in our fellow Americans”....

It's very nice what you've stated in your post...but does not express the reality of our nation at this time.

You mentioned that the trajectory of our nation is “Happily reversible and likely to reverse in the normal course of events.”..... I can't agree ...the events we are seeing taking place among our youth, within our governance, and among our peoples is anything but “Normal” for this once great nation. In fact the downhill slope has escalated both in speed and much without opposition to even slow it down...and this includes the mindset of our youth.

Then you stated further......”People mature, the smart ones become smarter more conservative... Knowledge is power”.
If that is the case then we would not be, nor would the generation be, where it is today, and the years it continued to decay prior.

Knowledge alone is exactly what the Liberal/Progressives run on....that with lip service of faith in God. ..and they control our educational institutions and much of our governance now....Additionally Turning the tide of this nation is not about evolving Finny, it's about a “desire” within that wants to understand, that wants to know....and that is not the case for much of our youth or the adult citizen today. Obama being elected for a second term evidences this.....there are not enough “smarter” ones to offset the “idiots”. If we were the majority he wouldn't have even been in the running to begin with let alone re-elected.

Further...it takes “work” to be involved and make a difference, and not just a few but the majority to turn this ship. Those willing to work appear to be those who want this nation to be “something else” marked and framed into something it is not. And that is because they do not know the difference....nor appreciate it if they do.

As to taking a stand.....’the will’ to do so must be there and the light which will fire that up.....that light is not something man can ignite himself or it's a false flame with false motives which will always burn in the wrong direction. C.S. Lewis says it well......“Moral collapse follows upon spiritual collapse” and a nation falls entirely when these two go, just as we are witnessing today.

You are right to say neither party wants to make the necessary changes....but then how can they when the system itself is completely fractured, corrupted and anything but interested in the American people?

It would be fair to say that perhaps it needs to fall so we can clean up the mess and start over.....however I don't see that as happening either. Too many will simply continue to shore it up so they too can benefit with all that Washington affords those who serve there.

I do not have your optimism because that is not what will change this nation from the direction it's on....it will take a united front and that still remains to be seen in this country now very much divided among itself....I don't see that changing, just the opposite..the divisions multiply.....
