Don Feder at FrontPageMagazine has a sad and nostalgic
take on the America us oldies grew up in.
Here’s some of it:
Those of us who were part of the
Baby Boom generation, now in our 60s and 70s, no longer recognize the nation in
which we grew up. We are strangers in a land that gets stranger by the day.
We believed in the American dream.
We worked hard, paid our taxes and obeyed the law —even laws we thought were
idiotic.
. . .
Most of us don’t recognize Biden’s
America. Patriotism has become passé. Our military is led by men who are social
workers and politically correct hacks.
They can’t fight, but they’re great
at getting soldiers to use preferred pronouns and combating imaginary racism in
the ranks.
Giant corporations have replaced
individual enterprise, which – in many cases – has been taxed and regulated out
of existence. Government bureaucrats and corporate executives are like the pigs
and men at the end of Orwell’s “Animal Farm.”
. . .
Officeholders for life treat us
like mentally-challenged children. They snicker at those who pay their
exorbitant salaries.
So we limp along into old age, too
proud to go on the dole and too stubborn to just give up.
Besides, surrender now would be a
betrayal of the America that once was.
