Welcome to my rants and raves

First of all, let me tell you a little something about myself. I am, as I write this ,66 years old. To some of you young folks that think because I am so old that I don't know what is happening. You don't get to be this old if your stupid. Imagine this, I didn't have a TV until I was 7 years old.

I am grateful that I grew up when I did. My parents went through the Great Depression and then WW2. I grew up in the 50's, which overall , in my opinion, was the best decade this country ever had ,for the ordinary person. One salary, in a ordinary job, could buy you your own house and a car.

There was a sense of optimism in the people. The US was just victories in WW2 and the whole world looked up to us for guidance and protection.New industries grew providing good jobs for people that wanted them and new innovative products that made daily living easier. It wasn't all perfect, we were in the middle of the Cold War and remnants of racism and ignorance still existed in our society.

But then the 60's happened, and people wanted change. But to what? Sure, there was racism but the country was on it's way to correcting any perceived injustices but some people seemed to want to tear down everything about this country, in the name of atheistic socialism. It is like a religion in that ,you cannot convince these" believers in nothing" that they may be mistaken. No amount of evidence or reasoning can change their mind.

What did this great awakening bring to our society? First of all, they gave us drugs. Prior to the 60's, illegal drugs were way underground and they should have stayed there. Now, we have generations of useless drugged out bums , living off Social Security Disability.

They gave us "free love" which led to easy divorce, disease and the exploitation of women. Yes, women were conned into giving away their bodies in the name of being free. Believe me when I tell you, men used that to their advantage to sweet talk women into giving up their virtue.

How do they get like that? The 60's radicals that called for the fall of the United States of America are now professors in most universities in the US. Even in grammar school and high school, history is not being taught, they give something that is called history but is really political indoctrination. The news media and Hollywood adhere to this philosophy. They would never admit it but the decades from the 60's has shown ,through their work, that they have a negative belief in what America contributes to the world.

They have also demonized the military since the Viet Nam war and only recently have they relented on their attacks and have coined the phrase "thank you for your service". Maybe because of some innate guilt for not serving their country but now reap the benefits from the country they want to tear down.

Below is a poem to the Vietnam Vets
