This doesn't have a whole lot to do with Bolt lift
But I grew up in a home that was not religious. My parents were hard working, honest to a fault, caring individuals who were all about speaking their mind regardless, tough love and never buying ANYTHING unless the had the money to do it. My father did not have a problem telling anyone what he thought or worried about how they would take it.
Me, I spent years trying to "IMPROVE" on my father's way of living. Not by belittling his ways but thinking there must better, softer ways to proceed. Hell, I've had Mortgages and a few car payments but I have never had a problem either accepting or dispensing TOUGH LOVE.
I thought for a number of years I was a Linertrain and believed there were more people in the middle, politically, than on either side. It took me years to change my mind.
I agree with much of what Al has said above. Liberalism has been on an insidious march since the early 1900's in this country and 1964 put the finishing touches to it. The amendments LBJ got passed fractured our society so there is no way to undo it. At 77, I believe this country has lost the way of life many of us grew up in, it's gone and we are powerless to stop it. We can complain and agonize but we can't stop the rain. The current generation is likely to close the door on Freedom, change and or abolish the constitution we have lived under for well over 200 years. Nothing we can do except speak our minds and push back as much as we can while we are still here.
If you want to know where the "Current Movement" started, Google the Experimental College at the University of Wisconsin. A lot if our country's unraveling came from there.
