I apologize I did not mean to generalize. That was not my intention. My intention was to convey the fact these people yelled for a platform. They were given one. Then now use it to abuse the rest of us. There are many who will gladly take that platform if it means they can bully and be hurtful. All in the name of being 'good'. They are anything but. I pray for them. But I suspect their hearts are closed off. My other theory is many of them of the 60s generation are now getting into retirement. They are bored and have reverted to their childish ways. Many who felt they 'missed out' on being a crusader in the 60s and are not going to lose that opportunity again.

You also point out this has been going on for a long time. It goes even further back to when we were founded as a country. There were two factions yelling at each other one to show how they can own people the other to show how free we are now. The democrats will pull upon themselves any system that lets them be the boss of others and not let freedom reign. Their current infatuation with Marxisim is just a form of that. One example I use is you do not get a bunch of dirt farmers to fight for slavery. They will never own a slave. They can not and never would have afforded it. They used lies to round them up and get them to fight. Many disagree with that view.

There is one man I was listening to last night. If I mentioned his name it would just start a fight here. Because many are not willing to let him go yet. But his lies are insidious. Built upon a system of hate of our government and God, but mostly God. I too looked up to him as I grew up. But his 60s BS is just that, BS. As I grow older and get more perspective I can see his lies.

No need to apologize at all. There's a big boulder of truth in them.

My 60-year-old cousin announced she was retiring from her law professor position so she could be an activist. (Again, just like when she was 40 years younger.)

So, yeah. Nostalgia for the good old days when there was injustice to fight. No longer true, but you can use make-believe injustice and larp just like it was old times.
