Sad Day

It's a sad day for me, sad because our young people have no idea what today means for us who lived through it. Today is D Day, June 6 1944 when the allies, 150,000 strong landed on the beach at Normandy France for the final push to win world war 2. Sad because in England the statue of Winston Churchill was defaced on the anniversary of D Day by a bunch of ill informed young people who have no idea how lucky they are that we succeeded in that effort.

There is an old saying: "Those who forget the past are doomed to repeat it". So many of these "young people" are in an angry, hopeless state. They are looking for someone with answers for their "problem". There are those who fill them with half-truths, and an ideological answer, and they are slowly buying it. Sound familiar? Basically what Hitler did. Dennis

itsmehb: Oh my dear it's so good to hear someone speaking the voice of reason. You have touched the very vital topic, I certainly understand your bitterness and honestly cannot agree more... As probably everyone I'm also following the events happening worldwide in the last couple of days and I'm trying to understand what the heck is going on, what the motive is, and where it all leads...

A very unfortunate event happens in the USA, whoever George Floyd was or was not he did not deserve to be brutally murdered, especially by the representative of state authorities. Most definitely the policeman should not get away with it, the charges must be pressed, the trail and prosecution must take place and the prevention against similar situations in the future must be introduced, there's no doubt about it. But why on earth a single murder justifies riots both in America and on the old continent?! I'm absolutely against discrimination and racial bias, and I'm all for what happened in Montgomery on December 1st 1955. Bus boycott and protests were the only reasonable things to do back then, and all black people today still own a lot to Rosa Parks, but getting back to the present, why the protests now? Why a single act of violence by one evil man justifies an enormous load of violence, vandalism, anarchy, destruction and mayhem? This is surprising for me.
Toppling the Edward Colston monument in Bristol? Well... Not quite exactly the way I would like to see it removed, but at least it was more or less logical and reasonable.
But vandalizing Winston Churchill's statue?! Like f*cking for real? This is so much totally out of my understanding. Not only the chap had nothing to do either with black people discrimination, slavery or anything, but most important was he an extremely smart strategist, a talented politician, an excellent speaker, one of the greatest and most renowned leaders of UK and literally a hero of WWII. When being asked whom of the famous people of the history I admire most, Churchill comes to my mind as one of the first, and I'm not even British...
What those people did to him under the pretext of equality saddens me deeply. It isn't even surprising, it is sad and sad only...
For the sake of records - I'm 27, maybe not a teenager anymore, but still can be considered somewhat "young"...

Jake, thank you for your post. Yes, we have a very big mess right now that threatens our very being as a country. Who was Floyd? A habitual criminal, certainly not a saint, jailed five times, twice for armed robbery, and three times for drug possession and abuse. However, all that and we all agree he didn't deserve to be murdered by the very people that are here to protect us. Enter into our race relations. We have a big problem with the blame game and political correctness in our country that if not corrected will be our downfall. Fifty or so years ago the whites were in most all elected positions and were the problem according to the blacks. That's all changed now and in cities and states with blacks in all positions of power the situation is worse, yet it still is racism they yell. Most black males, close to 70 percent, grow up with no father figure in there life. In all family's the most influential parent in a child's life is the same sex parent. that is a problem only they can fix. Then our youth, many brain washed by leftist college professors into believing democracy should be overthrown and replaced with some form of socialism, which in itself is a complete failure. They are following Marx's book and the first step is eliminating the police, then with the help of leftist's infiltrating the Democratic side of our two system government will come after our guns. I'm 84 so I won't see this failure, but I have children, grand children and great grandchildren that will and I'm also sad for them. This doesn't belong in a car forum so I'm sorry for that, but it's that important.

This is the "Chit-Chat" section and it IS where this kind of interaction is appropriate. We could wear this whole thing out, so I will refrain from adding any more. BOTH sides in this national matter need to be willing to listen to the OTHER side. Somewhere in the middle, should be a workable answer - OOPS! I already said more than I intended to. Dennis

I couldn't have stated the above, any better...amen. Time to rise up...and smash the left into the ground. in my opinion.
