Conservative Time Machine

[old man 76]

A few days ago, I caught a little commentary by Bill O’Reilly on some television program. Bill made a comment on how things were different back in the fifties when the majority of Americans were white. He didn’t sound raciest but he felt people were more of the same mind set, more agreeable and respectful of each other. I must say it was not one of his rants but sounded more nostalgic. The more thought I gave to what he said, the more it explained the comments that came out of the right during the last election. Comments that were on women’s rights, immigration, taxes, education, gay people and a host of other topics all had one common connection. The conservatives want to go back to a time when they didn’t have to deal with a new world. However, the genie is out of the bottle and there is no going back. We now live in a world with new technology, larger population, less resources and a global market to name a few of the new challenges. Like it or not we will be forced to take a different approach to life and make the changes necessary to survive as a country and people. This requires tolerance, understanding and working for the common good of all. The conservatives will only be wasting time searching for a time machine.

1. you got a point

but not the only point! example;the only time a conservative picks up the check is when he is going to benefit from it! he's the first one to complain about his share of the taxes! he's the first to complain about his neighbors,but he's always last to pay his share! H e hates unions but grew up in a home where his dad was a shop steward! He is so tunneled vision and focus that you might think he was a real die hard conservative unless you really know him! then you know its a facade to gain what he is after! a way to take advantage! usually works till it blows up in his face!
