And, by the way, why are commentors ducking the challenge to name names and tell others just who the “elites” are? Is it because they are afraid? If that is so, we are really in worse shape than I thought. I can see where leftist leaning people would shy away from this, but not the conservative crowd.

WHO ARE THEY, THESE ELITES?

1. We are seeing the payoff from several generations of liberal-directed education on our nation. Naturally, Obama wants more of the same, and well-funded at that.

2. We really seem not to know who the inside enemies are—the so-called elites, and the leftists–listed by their proper names, and their influences on government, legislation, the economy, foreign relations, and the administration spelled out for all to see.

3. We do know that many of these enemies of the nation use the shameful rules of the radical Saul Alinsky to foster dissention and create confusion.

“It’s not just the boomers who have become irresponsible but their children and now grandchildren.”

Ah, there’s the rub: what’s tolerated in one generation is accepted in the next and encouraged in the subsequent.

I find Breitbart’s arguments more persuasive than yours.

#1. Oh, those reprehensible Baby Boomers! I challenge Jackson to go to DC and stand in front of the Nam Wall, and tell those 58,000 guys whose names are carved there that they were “reprehensible” Boomers.

“Americans today, compared to the “Greatest Generation” that fought World War II, are a bunch of weak willed wimps”

On top of that, Attorney General Eric Himpton Holder, Jr. called me a coward.

I don’t see us wimping out any more than we have previously. It’s just that the wimps are increasingly vocal. Consider Vietnam. Korea and WWII are examples also where not everyone was on board with our actions. Idiots, probably. Naieve, certainly. But there it is; What Andy’s seeing is nothing new. Worth dealing with and worth eliminating to the degree possible by the sheer force of logic… but hardly new.

“Vocal minorities”?

“Patriotism is the last refuge for scoundrels”. So it is that the denizens of the far right minority party question the patriotism of Americans who live in cities, and support President Obama who won by a landslide.

Obama supporters far out number you. So called Red states voted for Obama in record numbers. Just who areyou calling patriotic? Patriotism exists on both siders of the political spectrum and you can’t truly expect this Us vs Them attitude tohelp anyone.

This will not return you to national power. One of the reasons you lost was because you fling your poo at people who’s only crime is that they disagree with you and rightfully so.

The only patriots I encounter these days are “good ole boys” here in Virginia - and when I refer to the coastal critters, I’m referring to New York, California, State of Washington, sometimes Oregon and The District! I do know one thing for sure: most of the people I know are prepared to defend themselves with vigor from any attempt by anyone to abrogate our rights as citizens. That resistance and protest is now taking place as “tea parties” around the country.
