Will America’s Lost Generation decide our future? Let's take a second look.

  

We all must have been too busy to notice the changes that were taking place in our schools. It began a long time ago, maybe 40 - 50 years, but that is just a guess. It started with a little thing, Geography, that was replaced with Social Studies. No one noticed the difference. When the subject of Geography was taught, young students were first acquainted with where their community was located, then how their state was surrounded by other states and how the local government worked with the state government and how it was associated with the Federal government. In other words the emphasis on Geography was begun at home and after that was accomplished students were taught about foreign countries.

Social Studies changed all of that in a very subtle way. Students were immediately immersed into the cultures of foreign countries and they were familiarized with everything outside of the United States before they were taught about their homeland. The effect was to lessen the pride in the history and accomplishments that older American's had been raised on and the sense of patriotism that went along with it. Organizations such as the NEA, the National Education Association, that had enlisted so many teachers, had begun to spread their vile untruths against America. Then they began to rewrite the History books and our Founding Fathers became slave owners instead of patriots who gave up their lives and fortunes for their new country. No one noticed that a propaganda campaign had begun to change so many minds.

Then some of these students went on to college and were quickly introduced into a new way to view the world. The extremely liberal academic environment consisting mostly of intellectual socialists and Marxists began to reshape the thinking of these young minds. News stories out of the University of California, Berkeley and Columbia University in New York City showed the influence of the Communist Party on college campuses. Demonstrations were frequently staged to support the enemies of our country. Karl Marx, Mao Tse-tung and Che Guevara became cult heroes. Graduates went on to careers in the fields of journalism and television news and politics and began to spread their misplaced loyalties and bias against America. 

Today's college campuses are infiltrated with organizations promoting Islam and have become a recruiting ground for anyone who hates America. The young generation that idolized a rock culture replete with overtones of devil worship, a generation that was never taught about the inspired ideals of the patriots who had created their great nation and its acknowledgment of our God-given rights, went on to participate in reshaping our government. They went out to vote!

And so we have come to this, a poetic sarcasm on what we have become. I am unable to find the name of the author of the following but it is a fitting tribute to our current state of affairs. 

Once upon a time in America.

And it came to pass in the Age of Insanity that the people of the land called America, having lost their morals, their initiative, and their will to defend their liberties, chose as their Supreme Leader that person known as "The One." He emerged from the vapors with a message that had no  meaning; but He hypnotized the people telling them, "I am sent to save you.  My lack of experience, my questionable ethics, my monstrous ego, and my association with evil doers are of no consequence.  For I shall save you with Hope and Change.  Go, therefore, and proclaim throughout the land that he who preceded me is evil, that he has defiled the nation, and that all he has built must be destroyed."

And the people rejoiced. For even though they knew not what The One would do, He had promised that it was good; and they believed.

And The One said "We live in the greatest country in the world.   Help me change everything about it!"

And the people said, "Hallelujah!! Change is good!" 

Then He said, "We are going to tax the rich fat-cats,"---

And the people said "Sock it to them!" "---- and redistribute their wealth."

And the people said, "Show us the money!"

And then He said, "Redistribution of wealth is good for everybody"

And Joe the plumber asked, "Are you kidding me? You're going to steal my money and give it to the deadbeats??"

And The One ridiculed and taunted him, and Joe's personal records were hacked and publicized.

One lone reporter asked, "Isn't that Marxist policy?"

And she was banished from the kingdom!

Then a citizen asked, "With no foreign relations experience and  having zero military experience or knowledge, how will you deal with radical terrorists?"

And The One said, "Simple. I shall sit with them and talk with  them and show them how nice we really are; and they will forget that they ever wanted to kill us all!"

And the people said, "Hallelujah!! We are safe at last, and we can beat our weapons into free cars for the people!"

Then The One said, "I shall give 95% of you lower taxes."

And one lone voice said, "But 40% of us don't pay ANY taxes."

So The One said, "Then I shall give you some of the taxes the fat-cats pay!"

And the people said, "Hallelujah!! Show us the money!"

Then The One said, "I shall tax your Capital Gains when you sell your homes!"

And the people yawned and the slumping housing market collapsed.

And He said, "I shall mandate employer- funded health care for  EVERY worker and raise the minimum wage. and I shall give every person unlimited healthcare and medicine and transportation to the clinics."

And the people said, "Gim'me some of that!"

Then he said, "I shall penalize employers who ship jobs overseas."

And the people said, "Where's my rebate check?"

Then The One said, "I shall bankrupt the coal industry and  electricity rates will skyrocket!"

And the people said, "Coal is dirty, coal is evil, no more coal!   But we don't care for that part about higher electric rates."  So The One said, "Not to worry. If your rebate isn't enough to  cover your expenses, we shall bail you out. Just sign up with ACORN and  your troubles are over!"

Then He said, "Illegal immigrants feel scorned and slighted.   Let's grant them amnesty, Social Security, free education, free lunches,  free medical care, bi-lingual signs and guaranteed housing...."

And the people said, "Hallelujah!!" And they made him King!

And so it came to pass that employers, facing spiraling costs and ever-higher taxes, raised their prices and laid off workers. Others simply gave up and went out of business and the economy sank like unto a rock dropped from a cliff. The banking industry was destroyed. Manufacturing slowed to a crawl. And more of the people were without a means of support. 

Then The One said, "I am the The One - The Messiah - and I'm  here to save you! We shall just print more money so everyone will have enough!"

But our foreign trading partners said unto Him, "Wait a minute.  Your dollar is not worth a pile of camel dung! You will have to pay more..."

And the people said, "Wait a minute. That is unfair!!"

And the world said, "Neither are these other idiotic programs you  have embraced. Lo, you have become a socialist state and a   second-rate power. Now you shall play by our rules!"

And the people cried out, "Alas, alas!! What have we done?"

But yea verily, it was too late. The people set upon The One and  spat upon him and stoned him, and his name was dung. And the once   mighty nation was no more; and the once proud people were without sustenance or shelter or hope. And the Change The One had given them was as like unto a poison that had destroyed them and like a whirlwind that consumed all that they had built.

And the people beat their chests in despair and cried out in  anguish, "Give us back our nation and our pride and our hope!!"

 But it was too late, and their homeland was no more.

You may think this is a fairy tale, but it's not.   It's happening RIGHT NOW! 

One thing is certain, as long as there are people who still remember what our nation once stood for there may come to pass a violent struggle when those who want to reshape America attempt to remove the last of our God-given rights. In the history books of the future that struggle may one day be called the Second American Revolution.
