If you don't know what I mean by my title...I"ll feel sorry for you. You missed out on the greatest time of America's history. My father, one of the Greatest Generation, lived during the best times of the United States, outside of the lack of understanding and acceptance of racism against the African American. What I mean by acceptance is that white America in whole denied that they were condoning rascism and segregation based on color. That was a horrific shame.
But overall, living in America between 1920 to 1970 was a grand time, and the 50's was probably the best decade to be alive.
Sometimes it chews me up inside to be blogging so much about Islam. But it's the threat I see that is larger than anything, that threatens my way of life.
Russia and China are both wise enough to understand the MAD doctrine. But the Middle East....not a chance.
I miss the simple days of going fishing and not worrying about all the daily crappola that proliferates the news headlines. Most of it attacks on our way of life, from without and within.
What do you mean I can't have french fries deep fried in lard???
What do you mean I can't have butter smothering my crab???
What do you mean I can't call someone a stupid idiot moron for walking in front of my car?
I could go on and on, but I think you're wise enough to see in your own life how it's been changed. Not from the historical lines of politics or religion that has grown and saved this country from it's birth to 1990. But from the enemy from without and within that has forced change upon the people of this country and our way of life to suit there's.
I watch the end of the Andy Griffith show and see Andy and Opie walking that dirt road just coming back from fishing. That my friends...was America in it's greatest. As 'Archie Bunker and Edith' sang....'those were the days'.
