Enter Gen C, a generation that may never know American freedom. These children have witnessed Americans that willingly gave up their freedom for a bit of personal security.
We have a generation that is coming up that has been conditioned by the Left that government intervention is the best. They are convinced that “experts” always have the best ideas and that you simply should not think for yourself. They are convinced that they should willingly give up their freedom, for a little comfort.
the second thing that comes to my mind. Back in 1967, there were words to a speech that were given that ring ever true today. On January 5, a governor stood and said these words:
Freedom is a fragile thing and it’s never more than one generation away from extinction. It is not ours by way of inheritance; it must be fought for and defended constantly by each generation, for it comes only once to a people. And those in world history who have known freedom and then lost it have never known it again. As he gave the speech, Ronald Reagan was imploring his state to continue the fight for freedom. He was encouraging his generation to continue pressing for freedoms in order to secure them for future generations. I wonder how surprised he would be to see just how close we are to losing those freedoms he loved so dearly?
He said freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. Meet Gen C, the generation that the Left has conditioned to willingly give up their freedoms believing it to be normal. Now, it’s our generation’s time to stand up and fight for freedom before it is lost. Because if we continue down this same path, our future generations will never know freedom again.

The Leftists have taken control of the US education system and have dumb down the younger generations to American and World History so they think socialism and communism is a great way to govern forget about the millions and millions of non-conformists laying in mass graves.

Nope, stop blaming younger generations. Boomers and Gen X are still in control and we allowed this BS to happen on our watch. We need to look at ourselves and it is up to us to turn this around and teach the younger generations to stand with us.
“These children have witnessed Americans that willingly gave up their freedom for a bit of personal security.”
No where was this more evident than Free Republic.
I wish Rush was still here. It would have been an all time epic show.

Agree. We need to look in the mirror. We elected the wrong people to represent us and allowed them to appease the Left decade after decade. And now we wonder what went wrong.
We need to be more discriminating in who we vote for and hold them accountable for results, not rhetoric. We cannot permit the liars and deceives we elect to remain in office.
Conservative voters don’t have much to be proud of. We are too passive, apathetic and trusting. That’s gotta change, and fast. Or we’re doomed.
The strong win, the weak are subdued. Simple as that.
CPRRECT. We 30-ish and above are to blame. We are not doing enough. I do my best to explain to kids nowadays as an example, that faggots are effing gross and mentally insane. They do get the message, if explained in their language.
We need to run for local offices ourselves and support each other. No more corrupt lawyers and big business execs who are just cronies; pissed off citizens need to take the reigns. Imagine what we could accomplish with millions of Trumpians in offices across the nation!
Absolutely! They will gladly trade their freedom for a little [false] security. Look at those who traded their freedom for a face diaper.
The way numbers currently stand, for every mask Karen there are 2 patriots or freedom loving Americans waiting in the background. Yes, there are a lot of sheeple out there, but more of us. We can’t let the masses of Karens lead us to self defeat. A lot of us Freepers are reeling from the election and still in mourning, but it’s time to put on the big-boy pants and start doing something about that fact. If we don’t, then we are no better than those pussycat Karens out there and have no right to say anything.
No more corrupt lawyers and big business execs who are just cronies; pissed off citizens need to take the reigns.

What you are suggesting is in line with what the Founders had in mind: citizen legislators. Not corrupt, self-interested careerist politicians who are only there to fleece the taxpayer.
We need new blood, people whose focus is entirely on securing our freedoms and limiting the government’s control over us.
The single biggest threat to the republic these days is the unconstrained growth of federal government. This is at the root of many of our problems. We need to elect people will put fedzilla back into the cage. This needs to be Job #1.
‘We need to look at ourselves and it is up to us to turn this around and teach the younger generations to stand with us.’
absolutely...the snivelling old timers I see reaching for their masks as they see me coming down the sidewalk are the ones that give cover to the doctors who are running this shitshow...
Amen, brother!
Lots of Baby Boomers were grooving to this song back in the day:
Sign, sign
Everywhere a sign
Blockin’ out the scenery
Breakin’ my mind
Do this, don’t do that
Can’t you read the sign?
And what a world they’ve built for us, eh? Too many rules to follow. I’ve been under a form of house arrest for a year.
Again, don’t let the actions or words of the sheeple preclude you from standing up. Remember that it took less than a third of citizens in the colonies to start the revolution.
Everyone gave up there freedom....
Anyone with any brains had this virus figured out by the end of April..
‘Yes, there are a lot of sheeple out there, but more of us.’
nope; believe me, there aren’t...otherwise, the masks would have been tossed into bonfires long ago...
Then sit back down and do nothing since you’re a defeatist just like “them”.
