Anyone under 40 simply cannot fathom the rapid changes in this country in the last 40 years. How can you explain to someone that doesn't know any difference? Someone that thinks "it has always been this way."
I feel much sympathy for the next few generations.
The wealthy have just about sealed the deal.
The movie "Hunger Games", minus the lottery death match, is in the future.
Hell.........it may already be here.
Their is no longer a fuzzy line between government and the aristocrats that control it. In the last ten years, the aristocrats have become blatantly arrogant in making their agenda clear. They don't even try to hide it anymore.
Since they have used FOX News to steal the American flag as their symbolic means to rally simple minded folks, the master plan has worked amazingly well to cast those who dissent from the aristocratic coup as "outsiders", anti American, anti constitution, anti God.
I served in the armed forces to protect our constitution. Since FOX News has stolen my flag from me and used it as a rallying cry to keep aristocrats in power, the American flag has much less meaning to me. Lately, it seems much more representative of the swastika.
I didn't serve my country for THIS!
Call it what you will, but if aristocratic control of the USA is the American way, then put me in that anti American category because in my mind, it simply isn't the same America any more. It is a foreign country to me now. It has changed so much, I don't even recognize it anymore.
Let me make this clear. I am 100% patriotic for the America I grew up in as a kid. The flag waving manipulators at FOX sicken me. Their use of it as a divisive tool sickens me. The American flag was a uniter when I grew up.....not a divider.
