Lived long enough to see trans kids and the Islamization of Europe.

Sorry, sir. You were lied to.

There's no way this post should have the downvotes it does, but there isn't a thread politards can't ruin.

Lied to, perhaps. But one thing’s for certain, later generations refused to take a hard stand on the side of objective morality, and now we find ourselves in one hell of a mess.

When the fate of the world hung in the balance, the “Greatest Generation” answered the call without reservation, and gave their all to stand against the evils of that day. Unfortunately very few have been willing to do the same since.

“Hard times create strong men, strong men create good times. Good times create weak men, weak men create hard times.”

In the name of personal gain, pleasure, and comfort, men have remained silent in the face of tyrannical lunacy, perversion, and deception - producing horrendous results in their own lives, homes, communities, and country.

We all knew better than to go down the road that we now find ourselves on, and we did it anyway. That makes this whole situation even more absurd and revolting. It is all unnecessary and self inflicted.

The real change and realization of improvement starts at home, with you! You must examine your shortcomings and work to better yourself and that will eventually spill over into every other aspect of your life. That’s how we fix this, working together to build a better future for ourselves and our families.

Every cemetery you visit or drive by is filled with “tough” guys. The world doesn’t need anymore “tough” guys, it needs STRONG MEN who are willing to stand in the face of adversity, make sacrifices, and do the right thing. Especially when that adversity is our own egos and prejudices!

“Make sure YOU’RE right, and go ahead,” Davey Crockett.

So examine yourself and your motives today - be a man by being strong and doing the right thing!
