Will our grandchildren know our freedoms?

Being an old codger I find myself constantly thinking back to my youth and the way I remember things from history.  I wonder now that the Progressives have taken over our schools and universities and practically turned us into part of the European Union what our children and grand children will really know of the great history that is the basis for our development as a people and a country.  Will they understand the freedom that our grandfathers sought by coming to America?  Will they even know what an entrepreneurial society it took to build this great country?  Every day I see us slipping farther and farther away from what I remember as America.  I hear people talk about deserving government aid because that’s their right.  By design we are not a Democracy, we are a Democratic Republic that is something our forefathers made sure of when they crafted the Constitution.  The problem with a Democratic Republic is that a cunning minority can control the people.  That’s exactly what’s happened to the United States, over the years the Progressive movement has taken over both political parties.  The Democrats have gone from being the Truman conservatives of the 40’s & 50’s to the liberals of today and the Republicans are slowly splitting into two factions, the conservative and the liberal.   This leaves only the Progressive Liberals in total control.  For decades here in America we had been raised to be what our fathers were.  If dad was a Democrat by God I am too.  If he was a Republican so are we.  During the decade of the 60’s a change came about in the world, the hippy culture was born.  Son’s and daughters defied mom and dad and found the easy life of the commune where they could make up the rules as they went.  They were mesmerized by the new found freedom.  Thank God a few grew up and realized that it was a lot more gratifying to earn a living and support themselves than to sit in airports and train stations and beg for food. 

The problem is that places like The University of California at Berkley existed where far left professors molded the minds of many who grew from hippy to collegiate into progressive zombies.  These are many of our leaders today in power.  Those who grew from hippy to worker are now realizing that we are paying for this experiment in the socialist utopia we now call America.  This situation was predicted back in 1777 by a Scottish professor who said that once the population discovers that they can vote themselves free money from the treasury the country will bankrupt and disappear. 

If you went to every home in the country and asked the following questions I think you would find that even though they don’t realize it there are more conservatives than liberals:
  Questions;

1.       1.  Do you think the government should take up to half of what you earn to support those who do not want         to work?

2.      2.  Do you feel the government has the right to decide whether you have a needed operation or not                    depending on your health record and your age.

3.      3.  Are you for or against open borders here in the United States or should we have controlled immigration          as we have in the past?

4.      4. Do you believe that marriage is sacred and between a man and a woman or should anyone be allowed to       marry whomever they want including polygamy that’s coming next?

5.     5.  Do you believe anyone has the right to kill a 3^rd trimester baby that is perfectly capable of surviving on it’s      own or should the right to abort end at the 1^st trimester of pregnancy?

Why are we allowing this minority to dominate our lives and destroy our beautiful way of life?
