Now what? Unfortunately I don't see a way back. Our best efforts only slow the ever increasing reach of the Fascists. I'm 45. I worry about my kids, but despite my best efforts they are less outraged than I am. Perhaps my grandkids (should my children be granted procreation licenses) will find it all so normal it won't bother them at all.
With both parties fully supporting income redistributing, eco-regulating, cradele-to-grave tracking big government I don't see a lot of options for restoring freedom.
The Free State Project has a new idea, so I'm checking them out. I'm still voting, contributing, etc. And posting and reading but I'm not expecting any change in the right direction. Sadly.
But there's enough residual liberty left in the country to teach most kids to be cynical about the agenda shovelled out to them by supposedly 'responsible' adults.
The cynicism of alienated youth may turn out to be the country's salvation! lol
History is almost entirely an ironic account. ;^)
Same here. I really don't want my granddaughter to grow up in the world as it is going. I have (finally) convinced my daughter to put her in a private school when she is old enough, but my daughter tends to shrug off any other comments I make. I dread the day she wakes up and sees the truth.
A good example, Pataki commenting this week on the facial-scanning cameras installed at the Statue of Liberty. He likes them and wants them installed in a bunch of other places. Pretty sickening to hear. The interviewed people going through the lines, and they said it made them feel "safer". One person even said something along the line of "you have to give up some freedoms to keep other freedoms".
Truly disgusting how weak our country has become. Didn't we once fight a few World Wars and a Civil War and a Revolution?

2nd amendment... and a LOT of bloodshed.
