let me begin with the comments concerning ira hayes going from a hero to a zero because it is classic progressive thinking. You see progressives don't believe people should take responsibility for their own actions. You see progressives can't comprehend the limits to nature. So its society's fault that ira hayes failed in life
since the 1960's progressive have viewed america as one big lab experiment.
In the 1960's it was civil rights and with their overreach created generation after generation of people feeling entitled to entitlements. To their grant and those of their race people like thomas sowell, jason riley, colin powell, condi rice and many like them knew better, took responsibility for their lives and melded well into society.
In the 1970's it was make love not war, feminism dinks roe v wade. Today, and again because of progressive's overreach we have more unwed mothers so much so that has become fashionable, coupled with abortion which is damaging the delicate balance of a desirable replacement generation. One only has to view television shows to mirror the deep decrease in morality and civility along with the banality of youth because of their lack of appreciation for being provided a good and safe life.
The progressive also experiment with our educational system to this day. They are re-writing history, telling young minds how evil america is and mocking patriotism. Instead of the basic three r's civic, history, etc they believe multi-culturism, gender identification and internationalism is essential. Political correctness is so ingrained that they invented words like trigger warning and micro aggressions and that is one reason they won't teach the classic any longer...i mean they were all taught by evil white men and those are trigger warnings and micro aggressions that offend them
this social experiment also extended to our military and those that served know well the unintended consequences of those decisions.
And so recently we had obamacare dodd-frank implemented which is killing businesses and damaging our economy, and scotus judicial activist decisions concerning obamacare and same sex marriage that have had absolutely no relevance to the constitution and will continue to damage the very fabric of our civilized society
In my personal view

we need the silent majority to be silent no more.

The progressives have proven time and again that they are incapable of sound leadership their social experiments failed ,their keynesian experiment has left this economy under performing since the recession ended in 2009
We need a sharp reversal of our policies today and a stop to the progressives social agenda

. We need to take our country back. Because when shirtless gay men raise a rainbow flag and it is seen as a zen moment we are in deep deep trouble and the foreign vultures watching all of this are smacking their lips because they know what a great meal america will serve up when they conquer us.
