Dolly,
"Barry Goldwater stated in public that there is a dark force working diligently to destroy this nation."
I agree, but I think Barry and I were thinking of someone else.
"You classify me as divisory."
No, I believe you are a victim of those whose goal is to divide us.
"At 76 I'm well aware of the shortness of life, but thanks for reminding me. I'd be interested in your thoughts on a course of action that will guarantee the freedom of our grandchildren."
Quite simple is the answer, Dolly. We must stop the socialization of America and reverse the damage already done. I said the answer was simple but the action maybe far too difficult:
"When the thirteen colonies were still a part of England, Professor
Alexander Tyler wrote about the fall of the Athenian republic over two
thousand years previous to that time:
A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only
exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves money from
the public treasure. From that moment on the majority always votes for
the candidates promising the most money from the public treasury, with
the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy
followed by a dictatorship. The average age of the world's great
civilizations has been two hundred years. These nations have progressed
through the following sequence: from bondage to spiritual faith, from
spiritual faith to great courage, from courage to liberty, from liberty
to abundance, from abundance to selfishness, from selfishness to
complacency from complacency to apathy, from apathy to dependency, from
dependency back to bondage.
Alexander Tyler"
"cynical? He11 yes I'm cynical. among other things I'm cynical about the flower of our youth being sacrificed in one phony war after the other. I know the media works hard at trying to justify them, and for the most part the sheep believe it all. Many of my generation didn't believe it, but there's not many of us left. The old die off and the young forget, but the ages old agenda never changes."
I know veterans of your era who after witnessing the collapse of the World Trade Center Towers wished they could serve again and stated it publicly with tears in their eyes.
I don't scoff and laugh at you, William.
