I align with 'Soup on this, I also enjoyed one of the last carefree idyllic upbringings and look around and see it all going to shyt. It started to concern me in the 80's when the modern day liberals started morphing into these hate-filled psychopaths who started viewing every historical Judeo-Christian tradition and Founding Principle as personal affronts to their existence...which they clearly are because they are bred to be un-American and un-Exceptional.
My folks were Kennedy Democrats and that died in Dallas in 1963 because after that it was LBJ's massive welfare state expansion and with a few speed-bumps tossed in a steady decent into Hell ever since.
I love throwing this quote in Proglodyte faces...not that they fricken understand it all...but they will, and sooner than they would like -
When every avenue to redress grievances fails, when the very thought and beliefs you hold are declared evil and you are barred and punished for daring to act or speak of them...and you usurp elections, use bureaucrats and sworn officers to oppress us and deny voice our voice and movement and prevent a peaceful separation...the result is inescapable and the fallout is all on those intolerant and unreasonable assholes and I will have ZERO compassion or mercy for them.
At best I figure I have to be consolidated into better options in the next year or two, after that it's gonna get dicier...
