Got The Spine ?

Last night I told the Boss that if peaceful demonstrations were met with violence like in Iran, happened here, there'd be a lot more blood shed. My thought was that since we're an armed populace, we'd fight back with more than words. That might've been wishful thinking on my part because it assumes that we've still got the spine to fight for our liberty.

Iran like most Muslim countries consist of mostly people under the age of thirty. Younger people across the world are the most likely to be aggressive, to have the energy to stand up on their hind legs and shout their positions on anything. We here in the USA on the other hand are an aging society that's grown soft and complacent. We've grown up with the 'things' and the liberty that most societies just wish for. Our population isn't 70% young and energetic. Just the opposite.

What young we have don't appreciate our liberties. They've been educated by the socialists since they control the schools. Our young don't understand liberty, or the lack of liberty. Most are actually wishing for the opposite. Like the loons on Washington, they're in general agreement with socialism, Marxism and fascism. They want a big nanny to take care of them.

If we want to maintain our country, our liberty, then it's up to the old farts like me. My children are grown and capable of taking care of themselves. It's just me and the Boss who shares my views on most things. If there happens to be demonstrations against government in the local streets, I'd be there. I'd happily carry a sign of dissent. And if the fascist goons should take a swing at me with a club . . . . . there would be more than clubs flying.
