The term "the greatest generation" set values at a bar yet reached by some baby boomers and generation X.
We have familiar advice as "don't waste anything, if you cannot afford it, don't buy it.
But for the most part, it has fallen on deft ears. America has not had a financial crisis since the mid thirties. Democracy and freedom has been imperiled since 1945.
We, as a country, have displaced the priorities of Americans who have gone through a depression and world war. Instead, we have opened the door the those with an angry agenda against success which they had never achieved, guilt of not trying to achieve and the desire to erode freedoms so that they can claim a sense of justice. (school , religious holiday's, even the word "Christmas)".
The disease of the advancement of Progressivism is based on the angry agenda and rewriting of American history to fit the agenda.
Those that proclaim a hatred to America have never experienced the social and moral might which has defined the USA to any other country in the world.
We help every country with any natural disaster. Who help us when we have a natural disaster? Those citizens who hate America know that they have the freedom to communicate their agenda. They know about Normandy, Iwo Jima, Pearl Harbor, Gettysburg as a testimonial of the sacrifice for their free speech and hatred of country that provides the freedom.
Personal responsibility, financially and socially, are certain traits that citizens who hate us possess.

You've said that "angry agenda against success which they had never achieved, guilt of not trying to achieve and the desire to erode freedoms so that they can claim a sense of justice," but I think you and I have looked at the same problems and come to different conclusions. I don't think you're right about the motivations of the "hate America" bunch. My first year of college in California, 66-67, was filled "let's go to Sacramento to demonstrate against the war," mo thought was given in this activity, it was merely something to do and I think for the young "haters" there is no deep psychological issues. I doubt they even give the "we hate America" any moral or political significance whatsoever--I now I never did.
So for the younger "haters" I think that it only a social issue, i.e., all my friends do it so I do it.
However, as for the origins of this manufactured hate there are very well trained and sometimes very smart people. Beginning in the late 1920's Joe Stalin began this anti-West movement, contrary to Trotsky's notions of communist factions working together as apposed to Stalin "must have absolute central control," that's one reason he had Trotsky assassinated in Mexico.
However, as to the hate specifically, Moscow found a ready-made army in American blacks, i.e., they were, and are, basically violent, and not overly smart and thus easily led. But to control and direct their army they found that re-writing history into a "whites hate you so they make you suffer" mythology and have promoted this as a very good control mechanism since the early 1960's.
So, here too the nature of the hate is not that of a formerly productive population now trying to redress some deep neurosis but rather a very long term motivator (there is nothing as motivating as anger--especially righteous anger). Ultimately, therefore, the hate we see in blacks and the young are two different kinds of "hate" manufactured by outside forces (socialist, communist, and Arab most recently) and designed to infuriate blacks but for the designers of this control technique it all boils down to doing whatever-it-takes go defeat democracy in general and the US specifically.

I see no negative connotations to what James said, because they appear to be well meant and honest--so, being sad for him seems a misunderstanding of what he was getting at--I think he was generally right about "control," and unfortunately he may be right in the death of America.
But the harder we work (together) the less likely that is to happen.
James: How sad for you to think such a thing about your country. So you haven't given up, and will follow the other sheeples? Where is your faith? Where is your courage? Why aren't you in intercessory prayer for your country and your people, and why aren't you blessing Israel?
For many years the enemies of the USA have been hard at work in our educational and media systems undermining the American way with whispers and false accusations. Tell a lie often enough and it will find believers. Young people come to me with false stories they are following and falling for. So many do not know to look more closely at a story to find if any truth exists in it. Our nation is too open in allowing enemies to come here and set up shop to destroy us. We are being ruled by openly criminal politicians that are looting us while saddling us with huge debt!
Now is the time for all good men...and women...to come to the aid of their country !!! If you don't LOVE the country you're in (AMERICA THE BEAUTIFUL)...then move to another country!!!! If you don't like religion and God, then move to another country. If you think that our Constitution is an out dated document, then move to another country. If you cannot defend our Constitution, with your life, then move to another country!!!! OH, by the way, your ASS cannot come back to the Home of the Brave and The Land of The Free...AMERICA ....Good luck with that!!!! Because WE THE PEOPLE don't want you here!!!!! If this applies to anyone on this site......YOU DO NOT BELONG HERE and we do not want you here!!!!! SEMPER FI.....
Don't hate America! Hate the low life COMMUNIST BAST--DS who are trying to destroy America!
This nation will fail in it's own sorrow. To late to weep for it now.
The ebb and flow of human decency changes like the tides. The goal to not hate when trust has been destroyed by both government and liberal thought that radiates from the university's. The manor of achievement is drowned by the goals to get others to produce while they enjoy life. Moral bankruptcy leads to other forms of bankruptcy. Fostered by mistrust and, finger pointing on every issue. When a nations children are being destroyed by a lack of common decency their can be no room for trust. When trust is destroyed the nation will crumble. Even war will not rebuild the motive for good.
"IMMIGRANTS, NOT AMERICANS, MUST ADAPT. Take It Or Leave It. I am tired of this nation worrying about whether we are offending some individual or their culture. Since the terrorist attacks on the Trade Center, we have experienced a surge in patriotism by the majority of Ameicans."
"This culture has been developed over two centuries of struggles, trials and victories by millions of men and women who have sought freedom. We speak mainly ENGLISH, not Spanish, Lebanese, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, or any other language. Therefore, if you wish to become part of our society, Learn the Language!"
"Most Americans believe in God. This is not some Christian, right wing, political push, but a fact, because Christian men and women, on Christian principles, founded this nation, and this is clearly documented. It is certainly appropriate to display it on the walls of our schools. If God offends you, then I suggest you consider another part of the world as your new home, because God is part of our culture."
"We will accept your beliefs, and will not question why. All we ask is that you accept ours, and live in harmony and peaceful enjoyment with us."
"This is OUR COUNTRY, OUR LAND, and OUR LIFESTYLE, and we will allow you every opportunity to enjoy all this. But once you are done complaining, whining, and griping about Our Flag, Our Pledge, Our Christian beliefs, or Our Way of Life, I highly encourage you take advantage of one other great American freedom, THE RIGHT TO LEAVE.."
"If you aren't happy here then LEAVE. We didn't force you to come here. You asked to be here. So accept the country that accepted YOU."
Maybe if we circulate this, maybe American citizens will find the backbone to start speaking and voicing these truths.
I don’t care who wrote it. I couldn’t agree more.

The problem today is our Country and our World is quickly becoming one of Degeneration or Degenerates...As the U.S. allows more and more people into this country because MANY out there think the words LAND OF OPPORTUNITY means "put your hand out and you will receive" instead of come to the U.S. to work and better yourself without Socialism. My grandparents came to WORK..Next, a few get rich organizations started by Communist, Liberal, Gay, Evil individuals have brought down a Proud Country into following those like A.C.L.U. and others to whip us around and we stand back and let them get away with it....I ask....Where are our true Patriots and why do we all sit back and watch America become Victim to Evil !! Who will have the courage to fight back and win back what THE GREATEST GENERATION stood for ????? WHO ??
BARRACK OBAMA IS ONE OF THEM
