<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I&#8217;ve been around for a long time. I was born in 1957 and consider myself lucky to have lived a good portion of my life when America was at its peak. I&#8217;ve also spent a good portion of my life watching America being actively degraded.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This isn&#8217;t the country that I grew up in. We used to have standards. My family was poor, but we had middle-class values. The house was kept clean, the children were fed and well dressed, and we knew that if we got into trouble, we would be shaming the family, which in my household was one of the worst crimes you could possibly commit. We weren&#8217;t the only family like that. Most of the neighbors were in a similar lot financially but had decent &#8216;American&#8217; values. There were some exceptions, of course, but those people were looked down on and considered trash by the rest of us.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I won&#8217;t go into what I believe are the causes for what has happened in this post, but there&#8217;s little doubt that our country is in much worse shape than it was before. A lot of it is because our population has somehow been convinced that what is happening is normal. It isn&#8217;t. This is not the way decent people live, but for various reasons, our leadership has decided this is how we should live.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The graphic at the top of the post shows one example. The woman, whether sane or insane, was a threat to the community and those around her, yet some liberal judge let her back onto the street. Why? Again, I have my opinions on the reasons, but I&#8217;ll share those at a later date. For now, I just want to say, it doesn&#8217;t have to be this way. We need to demand more from our government and our neighbors and not let our way of life be destroyed. We own our country, not the politicians and freaks that have set out to destroy it. We need to let them know we will no longer stand for this, and they either need to shape up or find some other type of work. This needs to end.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This was posted in the comments section of a New York Post article. It was written by someone calling themselves Not_A_Lib DonkeypoxIsKillingAmerica and I think it expresses what a lot of us feel.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:700">we are a society circling the drain…</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:700">Today’s generation is the inevitable product of decades of liberal indoctrination, soft parenting, and a media culture that prizes emotion over intellect. They’ve been spoon-fed victimhood, wrapped in moral superiority, and taught to mistake ignorance for virtue. The result? A generation that’s both arrogant and uninformed — loud enough to preach, but too shallow to think.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:700">Social media has crowned this generation’s new prophets: influencers and activists whose only qualifications are vanity and outrage. The self-proclaimed “enlightened” class now leads a digital mob of followers incapable of independent thought, marching proudly under the banner of feelings over facts. The modern Democrat base is no longer a political movement — it’s a cult of perpetual adolescence, driven by resentment, insecurity, and the need to appear virtuous online.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:700">The real rot runs deeper than politics. It’s in our classrooms, where indoctrination has replaced education; in our culture, where mediocrity is celebrated; and in our mental health industry, which now validates dysfunction instead of curing it. Liberalism has metastasized into a belief system that rewards fragility, punishes strength, and confuses narcissism with compassion.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:700">America is paying the price. We’ve raised a generation of emotional children in adult bodies — defiant, delusional, and utterly unprepared for the real world. They lecture the rest of us about justice while chasing TikTok fame and pretending their hashtags make them heroes. If this continues, the country won’t collapse from external threats — it’ll rot from within, smiling for the camera all the way down..</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you think he&#8217;s over exaggerating and things aren&#8217;t that bad, the article on which this was posted was about a woman who rents Airbnb&#8217;s, films herself urinating on the various objects within the owners homes and sells the videos on fetish websites as a way to make money.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I know that this is just one example and the vast majority of people are decent but whenever I hear that defense I bring up this thought experiment…</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Imagine you have a classroom of children and two new students are transferred into the class. One of them is smart, well behaved and a decent person, while the other is disruptive, a troublemaker and a wise ass. The teacher is weak willed and allows both of them to do their thing.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Where will the class be in a short period of time?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Anybody, whose ever been in a situation like that knows the answer. People tend to devolve, rather than evolve when given the chance and in a short period of time, more students will be rowdy and out of control than studious and decent.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Liberal tolerance is like the weak willed teacher, it&#8217;s allowed actions that were once considered unacceptable to become common and our society is degrading because of it. Some people believe that this is the result of misplaced liberal compassion while others believe that it&#8217;s part of a bigger plan to destroy western civilization. Whatever the case, in the end it will destroy us.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I was reading about Ali Larijani&#8217;s daughter, Fatemeh Ardeshir-Larijani, a professor at Emory University, who just flew back to Iran from the United States to attend her fathers funeral.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Ali Larijani, according to Wikipedia, was an Iranian military officer and the secretary of the Supreme National Security Council. He was also one of the two representatives of the Supreme Leader of Iran Ali Khamenei to the council. He was also described as the country&#8217;s de facto leader. Larijani was killed on March 17 by an Israeli airstrike.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In the comments section of the article, I wrote the following:</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I was in college during the Iranian hostage situation. I was an engineering major and our classes were filled with Iranian students sent over to learn chemistry, physics and engineering. While our government was denouncing Iran and labeling them as the enemy, our colleges were teaching them the skills they needed to learn to make atomic weapons, bombs and missiles.<br>﻿<br>﻿I knew it was a bad thing, my fellow students new it was a bad thing, yet our government allowed it to continue. Through most of my adult life, I&#8217;ve observed that most of the bad things that have happened to our country have happened because our leadership has abdicated it&#8217;s responsibilities and allowed them to happen.<br>﻿<br>﻿Our politicians don&#8217;t serve the people, they serve the highest bidder.</p>
