The damn hippies that were scared to go to Vietnam are now spineless professors and lying politicians not to mention the proliferation of progressives through out the media.
It is so odd the way we change in life.... When I came home from my second tour in Vietnam I considered myself a hippie leftist. Took me 4 years to care about anything. And then I woke up and realized I was nowhere. There was nothing for me. And I went to work, worked hard. 38 years and I never called in sick, never missed a day of work. I became "everyman", responsible, believing in myself. And I became conservative, believing in family, home, good neighbors. I became protective, a voter who tried to make the best decisions.
All those things I believe in now with a clear conscious for my children's future are being disassembled. Yes, I am angry, but not a madman, I believe in the power of voting - but then I vote only once in each election, and voting that way it seems it doesn't count anymore. It is frustrating as we find ourselves in this position now....
I will never believe in a new American revolution, but that may be coming as the economy grows worse and Fascism overtly surfaces. I sincerely wish I did not see this, and it will not be of my making.
The choice I will make will be to protect my children for their future.
Let us be the stable ones for them.
And, I must say that a 5 year old should never be given a gun or have access to one. It is the responsibility of the parent to protect them, and from themselves.
