UNWINDING THE FABRIC OF AMERICA
ABOUT THE AUTHOR

How did we get to this point in America? What happened that allowed for the fabric of America to become so thin? Where did all the leaders go? We got here by allowing the media to begin to distort the truth in the 1960’s and allowing them to continue that distortion for the past four decades. We have allowed the media to glorify the 1960’s to this day. And, we have allowed the potential leaders of our nation to be swept away by the tide of progressivism in our schools and systems of higher education.

The aging hippies and radicals of the sixties have found a way to fondly reminisce about that era, and due to either age, time, drugs, the media or all of the above, distort the events of that time into what they perceive as a magical time of change. The haze of these memories has only become more colorful over time and the glorification of the sixties by the media has contributed to a self satisfaction among those of that time, as having created a wonderful era. It is more accurate that they created a wonderful error that has manifested itself in the form of Progressivism again in America. These are the same radicals who were university intellectuals, political elite and the street thugs they manipulated to unwind the fabric of America.

The sixties that is embedded in American lore and taught in American schools is a far cry from the reality of the day. The movie that was most popular that decade was The Sound of Music. The most popular actor of that period, John Wayne. And, Herman’s Hermits out sold the Beatles and the Rolling Stones combined, in 1965. The voters in the 1968 New Hampshire primary who voted for far left leaning Eugene McCarthy actually wanted an increased war effort in Vietnam. They thought this was the conservative McCarthy who had died eight years earlier, yet the media plays this as a huge swell in the anti-war movement.

The anti-war movement was provided by the draft exemption that allowed radicals to stay in school, get their doctorates and assume control of America’s university system, where they continue to influence future teachers to this day. The radicals of the sixties who led protests did so for the availability of casual sex, avoidance of the draft and visions of becoming leaders in the communist movement. All of this was the beginning of grade inflation as sympathetic leftist professors ensured that the radicals didn’t drop below B’s, so they could keep their deferment and avoid the war.

Despite what Hanoi Jane, Walter Cronkite and the leftist media said, the Vietnam war was not a failure. Over 200,000 communist troops deserted and switched to the South Vietnam side during the war, and at the time of the US troop pullout, there were less than 25,000 troops left to fight for North Vietnam. The US military never lost a major battle during the war and the North Vietnamese were never the same after their crushing defeat during the Tet Offensive. The abandonment of South Vietnam in 1973 by the democratic congress led directly to the boat people and the genocide in Cambodia under Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge, something conveniently left out of today’s history books.

The infamous Berkeley Free Speech Movement didn’t believe in free speech, but did seek to establish a totalitarian communist regime in America. Leaders of the anti-war movement took orders from the communist party. The 1968 Chicago Riots during the democratic convention, were the results of months of planning. The riot participants, the radicals, threw urine, feces and concrete at the police for hours, before the police responded.

The social and moral fiber was further eroded by the radicals and leaders of the various movements of the sixties. Malcolm X hated white people to the end of his life and often times supported himself by being a gay prostitute and had a long history of being bi-sexual. The Nation of Islam adamantly denies it to this day as Islam forbids homosexuality. Gloria Steinem was repulsed by marriage and children because of her mother’s insanity and abandonment by her father. And, one of the biggest lies of the Democrats was their opposition of civil rights. The GOP was the party of freedom and civil rights.

Census data confirms that the liberal war on poverty was what led to the break up of the black family in America, another truth vehemently denied by liberals. Those social programs facilitated single parenthood and continued to keep the poor in poverty. The creation of no-fault divorces led to a more transient lifestyle and a plethora of single parent households, further eroding America’s fabric. The two freedoms women garnered from the sixties were readily available contraception and abortion, both of which benefit men far more than women.

So, here we are today, fighting off communism in the form of Obama and his minions, who have spent decades planning this and finding the right candidate. But, there was more to this than finding the right candidate, it also required the right circumstances. After four decades of communist indoctrination in the American school system, several generations of voters were prepared for a nanny state, where the government would give them everything their single moms didn’t. And behind the scenes we have the perfect timing of a democratic congress, two years before the election, to create an economic crisis, with the media strings being pulled by Soros and company. It took us forty years to get here, but it will not take that long to get back.

Americans are resilient and tough. We have the spirit and determination of our forefathers, combined with the speed and efficiency of modern technology. We can and will take back our country and make America the great nation, the beacon of freedom that it is meant to be. Stand and fight my fellow Americans, for together we can and will succeed.

God Bless America!

A one-sided farrago
Is it not enough, for you, to disagree with the political principles other people hold?

Must everyone who opposes you also be a drug-taker, a pervert, a racist and a fool?

There are real changes that the sixties brought that were positive, and that it will not help conservatives politically to deny. The end of Jim Crow, the removal of legal discrimination against women, and the creation of Medicare are three large examples of this. The America of the 1950s was an America dominated almost exclusively by the voices and opinions of white men. It is better for us all - and I speak as a white man - that we live in days where other voices are heard and respected.

It is absurd to suppose that any agency or group conspired for decades to bring Obama to power. Such a group would have had far higher chances of success if they had worked with someone more similar to previous people who have attained the presidency. A half-black guy whose middle name is Hussein, whose father was Muslim, and who was a lowly Illinois state senator, would have been very few people's idea in 2004 of a remotely viable candidate for national office. The Democrat who had been planning for a decade to become President, and who had access to all the movers and shakers, was Hillary Clinton.

If you want this country back, you won't get it by bleating about how unfair it all is and about how the whole System is stacked against you and about how the electorate is brainwashed, any more than Democrats would have got back into power by bleating about the stolen 2000 elections and about Bush planning the 9/11 attacks for his own political gain.

Instead, you will regain power when you put forward a platform that a majority of American voters - including, inevitably, many current Obama voters - like better than what they have. Whining about the events of forty or thirty years ago and expressing resentment that the world has changed may, just, get you 30% of voters over the age of 65 - but it will turn everyone else off in droves.
