America has been in peril before; serious peril!! Remember the 1960s-'The Viet Nam Era?' Remember when the young thug-punks whined, pissed and moaned; protesting everything 'under-the-sun?' Those thug-punks have evolved! They're now the "thuunks" of the ruling class!
Time, politics and the country as a whole, has been in constant flux since that time and will be ad infinitum!
Historical perspective: I was born just after WWII, grew up between the Korean War and the start of 'The Viet Nam Era;' and really grew up during 'The Viet Nam Era!'
Long-gone is the time when a five year-old kid can walk solo, four blocks to his school!
Long-gone is the time when a young kid--on his walk to school--can become distracted on the trip and have the school secretary come looking for him!
Long-gone is the time when a twelve year-old boy can 'kick-the-can' along his mile walk from the farm to the main (paved) road; along the paved road through a warehouse district along the railroad tracks to the swimming hole, where lazy hours will be spent, a couple times a week!
The country's peril 'level' has been rachetted up in the last couple of years; to a point unprecidented since the aformentioned 'Viet Nam Era'-at which time there was little actual threat, just alot of whiny-assed 'thuunks!!' This time the theat is real:
- Never before has the country's chief executive had private (read-NONtransparent) communications! ( obama did not divulge just how he will overcome legal constraints, given the requirement of the post-Watergate Presidential Records Act of 1978 to keep a record of every White House communication. )
- Never before has the country's chief executive moved meetings--with lobbyists--out of the White House to circumvent his promises of transparency and no lobbyists! (Campaign quote: lobbyists "won't find a job in my White House;" Campaign quote: "Transparency and the rule of law will be the touchstones of this Presidency" )
- Never before has the country's chief executive had such distain for the federal courts (obamaKare declared unconstitutional-yet continuing to be enacted; obama's Gulf off-shore drilling moritorium declared unconstitutional-yet not allowed; et al)!
- Never before has the country's chief executive had such distain for the U.S. Constitution; The Supreme Court ( the President's determination that Section 3 [of the 'Defense of Marriage Act {DOMA}] is unconstitutional )!
- Never before has the country's chief executive sided with labor unions over individual states' rights ( Wisconsin vs public employees' union )
- Never before has the country's chief executive refused to enforce federal law, then sued a state who did ( State of Arizona-SB1170 )!
- Never before has the country's chief executive sued individual states to prevent retention of the secret ballot ( obama vs Utah; vs Arizona; vs South Dakota; vs South Carolina, involving 'card-check' )!
This fight is not Governor Walker's fight to lose!! The entire American way-of-life depends on a positive outcome!! Anything else, will enhance "Clown Prince" obama's current path toward a Nazi-esque, fascist dictatorship!!
Til Nex'Time....
