I was only 10 in 1968 but in my lifetime the devisive state of this country is nothing I can remember EVER SEEING!!!! Obammie has done more to divide this nation racially than I can believe was possible!!! I HATE THIS BASTARD!!!!!
Another thing I can not help but notice, because it is so obvious, that the democrat women on Fox News have unattractive, non-feminine voices.....almost all of them.
Same here. I remember one time my parents were talking to my siblings and I to let us know that another civil war might be about to start, and cautioning us to be careful of what we said and to whom.
For the truth is, we hate, despise and loathe each other and always have. From the crowded classrooms of the 1950s through the scrambling competition for colleges in the 1960s to our entry into the job markets in the 1970s, we have jostled, bumped and collided with our coevals at every step. The Vietnam War split us along socio-economic lines, with college students largely exempt from the draft as a matter of national policy.
Is it really true that the split of the 1960s has persisted with undiminished enmity for 50 years and that current divisions are all about the Boomers?
I don't think so. It's more that people today in red states and blue states had very different values in recent decades, not about college-bound and Nam-bound Boomers still hating each other.
Over the years, boomers on both sides of the political divide might have gone to church or worked or done drugs together. Today, liberals and conservatives don't interact together as much or as easily as they once did.
What I'm getting at is that the generation gap of the 60s between old and young was more bitter than the conflict between people within a generation, and the current conflict between left and right also dwarfs animosities that former classmates may have had all those years ago.
A total of 708 African Americans were killed in combat during World War II.
We are about a half a Billion Guns more prepared than 68.
Those associated with the Black Pampers and Black lies Muttered clamoring for a Race War ought to take that into consideration.
President Obama, the first anti-American president
the first was Carter, the second Clinton, the third Obama.
Hillary is also a follower of socialism.
Generalize much? Any thought that enmities in this nation are devided by state boundaries is foolishness. Should the US embark on a CWII, it will more resemble the chaos of places like Sarajevo.
The most truthful statement about Vietnam a following the Tet Offense and what followed in the US. The Socialist have been active since the 30’s. Always taking us a step at a time toward their view of Utopia.
Stop the B.S.
It was the “Greatest Generation, Eisenhower and Kennedy that started us down the path of Social Dependancy that led to the break up of the family structure AND the full scale pillaging of the Social Security Trust fund for pet political projects.
That in turn led to the huge increase in taxes and fees that forced most Families to work outside the home.
This crap all started with the Politicians of the late 50s early 60s whom the Greatest Generation was a part of and Elected. As a late Boomer (born in 62) I didn’t have a damned thing to do with it.
You must have been comatose when the Greedy old Geezers became a political force and attacking social spending became the 3rd rail of politics...
If you lived in Southern California, 1968 was a great year.
Most importantly the Tigers beat St. Louis in the World Series.
Just because a state is Blue does not mean the majority of the population are really socialist. Voter fraud in these states is Yuge.
Where Dems control the voting process, violations continue to happen. Any effort to clean up the mess is denounced as denying voters the right to vote.
It is strange that every four years there are massive voter drives with long lists of absentee voters that somehow or other never can find their precinct, and hundreds of them have to vote from the same address by absentee ballot.
And Jose Feliciano butchered the National Anthem.
I'd agree that geography doesn't account for all the conflicts today, but by and large they're conflicts between people who don't know each other personally. While it's not simply a matter of red states and blue states, people are a lot more likely to hate those on the other side of the country than on the other side of town.
And no, Civil War II isn't coming.
We agree. Perhaps I was not clear on getting my point across. Re-read my last line. Either way, good day!
This I have been saying all along.
So will the self-proclaimed "Healer in Chief" attend even one of the Dallas police officers' funerals or memorial services??
Perfect description!
