Progressive America is the Twilight Zone

To quote Rod Serling in the Twilight Zone episode Obsolete Man: "Logic is an enemy and the truth is a menace." We will face a trial where telling the truth and standing up for what's right will have us sentenced to death.

I grew up in the 40’s & 50’s. I miss Ozzie & Harriet and just about everybody liked Ike. You should have been there.

Okay; what can this 75-year-old do about it except vote? Considering my vote went for naught last November, what else can I do? My wife and I considered moving to Mexico to her home village where we’ll be far enough away from any narco corridor and live peaceably in our final days. Never before, would I have imagined coming to this point in life.

That was depressing. I rarely believe polls - but I know Democrats cheat and have been longer than just 2020. It’s going to take all of us to turn this ship around. It will most probably be brutal.

Stop blaming the Boomers! The Boomers did not start the ball rolling down the proverbial decadent counterculture hill. The Boomers were products of the Greatest Generation and the Greatest Generation were the products of the Lost Generation, so surely THEY ALL must share the blame as well if we're going down that path. But I call bee ess. The blame starts and ends with THE CURRENT GENERATION and their bottom-line, blind acceptance of political correctness.

Vote Remember this phrase Yes officer I used to own a gun but I sold it long ago. No I don't know the buyer's name. Gun show you know.

I'm part of that generation of baby boomers, but don't blame me for the garbage that started the counter culture. I was never part of the counter culture, and thought the whole idea was full of dung. I was surrounded by WWII vets growing up and viewed them with great respect. Even at nine years of age, I was in awe while viewing the Declaration of Independence and Constitution on a trip to D.C. My school class made several trips to Philly to Independence Hall to see the Liberty Bell, and this was before they moved it out of Independence Hall and one could touch the bell and run your fingers in the crack. I lived just a couple of miles from where the Battle of Brandywine took place. The battle that forced Washington's army to camp at Valley Forge for the winter. I was reminded on a daily basis by houses and buildings that were around during the early and mid 1700's and I tried to imagine what it was like during those times. So, these writers should stop trashing the entire baby boomer generation for a good story. Not all of us were marching in anti whatever marches and protesting the establishment. Many of that generation fought in Vietnam and their names are on that big slab of black granite in D.C.

While 70 percent see the country on the wrong track, don't assume they are all thinking along the same track. For some the progressive tide is not advancing far enough fast enough. Let's take that student loan forgiveness as an example. You want it and don't get it, like that carrot hanging outside your grasp. Country on the "right track"? Or one is an abortion advocate...BLM stalwart...or whatever flavor or progressive you like. The funny thing about Rod Serling and his Twilight Zone is that it advocated early-60s liberal causes, particularly involving race and illiberal thought. Now it is a goldmine of conservative points of view because the national thinking has progressed beyond those issues, which are somewhat shallow by today's standards. "There’s a propensity in our country to polarize things in black-and-white concepts. A man is either this or he is that. He’s either a Communist or he’s on our side, and I think the reverse is true amongst liberals. If a man happens to be militantly and vehemently anti-Communist, this guy is suspect among the liberals...It’s kind of a dilemma of the — you might coin a phrase — conservative liberal. I’d like to dramatize the problem." - Rod Serling, 1961
