Rajoo.................

I'm finding that knowledge of history, even the desire to study and understand it is disappearing. In some cases it is being replaced by some sort of bizarre, utopian vision of the past. Everything was better........WAY better. Everyone was happy, healthy and wealthy. Cars ran better. The air was cleaner. We could cull elephants by the herd for their tusks and tomorrow there would be twice as many of them. Toilet paper was softer on our bungholes................

I've recently been informed that things like tainted food products, slavery, racism, robber barons and their excesses, forced relocation of Native Americans.........never really existed, or at least weren't "really" so bad. Those things are all just dirty lies that "progressives" invented to smear an idyllic America and establish the totalitarian Communism we have today because of Obama and his Buds.

Democracy is a form of tyranny, designed to ".....crush the individual and rob him of his freedom", foisted upon America by wealthy, powerful elites.

This what a 20 year old relative, serving in Iraq (Air Force), told me a few weeks ago. I had a similar conversation with a young man this morning.

"People who burn our flag and protest against this country should be shot on sight."

This is our Brave New World, my friend.

I am losing optimism by the minute, now.
