anti-US rhetoric

What are your thoughts?

How long until the media succeeds in brain washing every culture against that of the leader of the free world?

The linked article is just an example. This has been ongoing and getting worse for some time.

I can say that I think the under 20 year old generation sees thru this anti-American propaganda. The left has exposed themselves as the Fascists they are and their message is total BS. Bernie Sanders may be loved on college campuses, but the generation behind them realize he's nothing but a fraud. Look no further than BLM taking him over and his capitulation to them. The tax return fail by Maddow proves it to anyone that hasn't been brainwashed by progressives in the MSM/public schools.

I think the MSM exposed themselves as the Prog/dims we all knew they are and inadvertently cost Hilldawg the election. Why do you think the MSM/Dims are convulsing so bad right now? Hell, they know a lot of the populace is on to their biased progressive presentation of questionable news, particularly when the questionable news is a failed attempt to help their cause.

I think the tipping point will come when college graduates realize their jobs are going increasingly to foreigners. Engineering, medicine, computer science, whatever.

Oh, and because younger generations are starting to digress economically from their parents, they will have less money to enroll their children in private schools and will be forced to face the brunt of our failed public schools.

We'll be fine, we're still nowhere close the divisiveness seen during Vietnam.

I would also caution those on both sides against digging their heels in too deeply. Remember, tens of millions of Americans supported Vietnam at the time and called the protestors "anti-American". History now reflects very poorly on them as it's near universal consensus 40 year later that Vietnam was a horrible mistake across the board.

The disposable income of the average American household is higher than it ever has been even if you adjust for inflation.

The mistake from Vietnam was fighting with one hand tied behind our back, thanks to Lyndon Johnson.

We never sent ground troops into North Vietnam. Never. It was destined to fail. But that's another subject.

The analysis of the Fed data shows the extent of the decline. It compared 25 to 34 year-olds in 2013, the most recent year available, to the same age group in 1989 after adjusting for inflation.

Yeah, in my experience, the recent over-the-top adulation for veterans stems from Baby Boomers feeling guilty about trashing American troops in their younger years.

Media has already changed the US. You are late to the war.

You're correct. Desert Storm welcome home had an effect, albeit delayed, on Viet Nam Vets and Americans as a people.

The biggest problem with the media is their lack of substance on any issue whatsoever. Politics has become celebrity gossip not much different than shows on E Network. It is turning our citizens into uninformed morons who vote for a candidate like one chooses a sports team.

What is your experience?

So, you are implying that veterans receive too much attention or admiration?
