All this talk about change and hope, peace and love. Celebrate the goodwill of mankind, can’t we all just get along?
Sounds like the hippies back in the 60s and 70s. How’d that whole thing work for you? No offense to those of you who fall in this category, but how well the did Baby Boomers do when they were in charge? Are we just repeating history with this flowery rhetoric?
As for me, I’m not going to hope that men will act in the best interest of their neighbors. I know we’re all broken. I know we’re all essentially bad deep down. You don’t have to teach a baby to lie, steal, cheat, or resort to violence. I know we’re going to look out for our own self-interests first. That’s human nature. That’s unchangeable. We’re never going to see peace on Earth, until Jesus comes back.
In the meantime, give me a system of economics that uses man’s self-interest for the good of everyone. Give me a leader who is not afraid to stare evil in the face for what it is and not hope that it will change but will do only what is best for our nation.
I get the hope. I get that we’re all hopeful that it’s a new day in America. But you can’t hope your way to freedom. You better be ready to fight for it.
The hippies were always high so love sounded especially good to them.
“We’re never going to see peace on Earth, until Jesus comes back.” You got that right.
I like the way you think, husband.
Nice post! you should see that into the op-ed in the Charleston paper… seriously
The peace, love, dove, tolerant, hippies were known to beat unsuspecting USAFA cadets to a pulp if they caught one of us alone in downtown Colorado Springs, Denver, or Boulder back in 1969. Apparently they had a problem with our dedication to our country or our hairstyle. I predict we all are going to see low tolerance for anything to the right of left during the next few years. Watch your six.
Bill Clinton and George W. Bush were baby boomers. That looks like a 50% success rate to me, any way you slice it.
