Patriotism
Re: Patriotism
A patriot wants our representative government to represent our best values and protect the future. I'll not criticize a government trying to ameliorate problems.

Reagan made sure people who are too snowflake to take responsibility for their own lives and disappointments could blame "the government" instead, 40 years ago.jfish26 wrote: ↑Wed Jul 12, 2023 11:52 amIf all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail.KUTradition wrote: ↑Wed Jul 12, 2023 11:49 am the government is responsible for climate change?

Don't forget about Reagan's 13.5% inflation rate.
Re: Patriotism
Considering what he inherited, I tend to give him a pass on that. (Yes, I give too much...)
But nearly tripling the national debt ?
Not so much.

Re: Patriotism
Not meant as a critique of you or your desire to change the tone -- which is admirable.
Just a comment on the inevitable.

There is an image of a pair of road signs in the video above at the 1:05 minute mark, bonus points if you can tell me where those signs are.

I generally don't enjoy listening to covers, but that really hit the spot, thanks.
No doubt because it evokes so many feelings from the time when the original came out in 1968. Turbulent times...
Is the intersection of the signs where the bull dozier was invented by a guy named Cummings?

it’s immigrants’ fault
it’s minorities’ fault
it’s liberals’ fault
it’s the books’ fault
it’s green energy’s fault
but it’s not ever, ever the guns…
Have we fallen into a mesmerized state that makes us accept as inevitable that which is inferior or detrimental, as though having lost the will or the vision to demand that which is good?

The sisters have done some of the best covers of great songs.
If you can make the songwriter cry while listening to their own song you did it good.

Re: Patriotism
You know what else you can do to prove you’re responsible for climate change? Burn a lot of paper, especially if it’s green and has numbers on it. More numbers more pollution. You can really really really stick to the liberals if pile up a bunch of money in your driveway and set it on fire!
