Isn't it absolutely unbelievable how fast things have changed in this country? In fact - when we started this forum ...what 5 or so years ago? No Admin or Moderator would allow a discussion like this to stand - because back then it would be viewed as "political".
Don't take this the wrong way Tim. But this is part of the problem we face. It really started many years ago. We all allowed this to grow all these years. It has not happened fast it has been a slow cancer growing in America all these years. My dad born in 1912 could never understand the Hippies of the 60's. He would say when we did not like something growing up we would try to change it by using our system of government. He went on to say Hippies (kids of the 60's) just want to destroy everything without a plan to replace it with something better....crazy.
Every big nation dies from within.....yes at the end it is a war or battle that does them in but it is really from within. We are dying now lets see if we can save ourselves again. We are a dying whale, with sharks just waiting to rip us apart at the right time.
IMO there is nothing wrong with us here but allowing this to grow into what we have now.
God Bless you all....You are good people.
No argument from me! It can all be traced back to President Coolidge - in seeing that due to the new Industrial Revolution, we needed to educate more Engineers, scientists, etc. So he put out a call for college professors. The call was answered largely by Eastern European instructors. Those whose world vision was shaped by Socialism. The precepts of Bigger Govt, more laws and less self responsibility can trace their roots to that specific time as the "seed planting" era...
T, my understanding is that, -it was not just Coolidge, but also his cadre of "like minded" intellectuals, who already knew their end game, and who actually recruited those same "like minded" professors from these regions. Not just eastern European, but Europeans who were much more enlightened, suave, sophisticated and genteel in their enlightened thinking, and were needed in the USA to curb the brash, backwoods 'bacy chewin', 'shine swilling, hog wallowin', free thinking upstarts that dared to poke King George lll in the eye, and so that we'd quit being the burr under the world's saddle.
