The biggest problem, as far as I am concerned, is the whole values divide. He says it’s left and right, but I don’t see it that way. I see it as the secular or the left. I think the secular views of many (including the right) are just as rotten. I see it right here on FR all the time. So many people are consumed with their own needs, wants, and are obsessed with their “rights,” yet there is no wisdom or common sense. Sure, you have the freedom to watch porn, but at what cost to society as a whole? Sure, you have the right to be a greedy trader on Wall Street, but again, at what cost? The Left has infiltrated academia.
In the old days, there were common standards of decency, obligation, and responsibility. Men didn’t leave pregnant women in large numbers as they would have been viewed in a harsh light - not so today. I just heard that PA is going to revamp their laws about reporting child abuse to make them stricter (all of this in light of the Sandusky/Penn State scandal). More and more laws to control every ounce of a person’s life all because nobody wants to follow the old tried and true BIG TEN or to admit that the seven deadly sins really ARE deadly.
Just had to rant. Meanwhile, as a Boomer who has been swimming against the tide of secular humanism and leftist claptrap, I can’t WAIT to see what this Day fellow and HIS generation come up with...(hmmm: euthanasia, etc.)
Personally I don't really think all this "Boomer/gen x, gen Y, clicker" or whatever is really all that helpfull. Like all ways of dividing people up into nice neat little boxes it is a sweeping stereotype approximation anyway. Not all boomers are selfish, not all gen Y's are technophiles. Real people surprise us all the time.
One more thing. As the good book says "there is nothing new under the sun". There have been generation gaps since time began. Every generation blames the one before for all of its problems, and every generation bemoans the shortcomings of the one following. The generations now will fail just as badly as the boomers. Just in different ways :)
All planned starting with Woodrow Wilson, a “progressive” another word for communist. They knew the only way to take America down was from within, it has taken a hundred years, no surprise “the chldren of the wicked are more committed than the children of light.”
They have systematically been grinding America down with attacks on the family, the church and education. This moment, this President is their chance at long last to “fundamentality change our nation” and then begin destroying anyone who gets in their way. That is historical, many will die under their form of government.
