A Man Who Understands History
Jun 4, 2021 10:35:17 #
A man who understands history . . .
The founder of Dubai, Sheikh Rashid, was asked about the future of his country, and he replied,
"My grandfather rode a camel, my father rode a camel, I ride a Mercedes, my son rides a Land Rover, and my grandson is going to ride a Land Rover, but my great-grandson is going to have to ride a camel again."
Why is that, he was asked? And his reply was,
“Hard times create strong men, strong men create easy times.
"Easy times create weak men, weak men create difficult times.
"Many will not understand it, but you have to raise warriors, not parasites."
And add to that the historical reality that all great "empires"... the Persians, the Trojans, the Egyptians, the Greeks, the Romans and, in later years, the British ... all rose and perished within 240 years.
Each "rotted from within".
America has now passed that 240-year mark and the "rot" is visible all around and now accelerating quickly. They are past the Mercedes and Land Rover years, and the camels are in their yards.

I don't know if the "camel" story is true or not. But the basic concept is valid. Empires have a finite longevity. And if the current rabid progressives continue their path to rewrite American history the US form of government will end during our grandchildrens lives. Amd this is by design. It'a a designed ground up revolution. They are teaching that the US is an evil Racist, White surpremacist country. And it must be redesigned and Critical Race Theory is the mechanism. If this continued our grand children will ask the question. What did our parejnts and grandparejnts do to their once great country?

I am afraid for my Grandchildren as well; but I attribute the demise of the U.S on very different considerations.

I love it that the GOP, which is actually a neonazi party thinks the Democrats are destroying the country.

And the answer to their question is, in my opinion, that their parents and grandparents (that's us) either stood by and did nothing to change this, or actively participated in the destruction by voting for or backing people whose desire it is to destroy the country.

Frank has no clue. I agree with the OP. And we are only continuing the trend with another weak man as president in addition to our weak congress critters.

Frank has no clue in your opinion. Big difference. You frequently confuse your opinion with fact.

Why do you lie? Or do you really believe the crap that you spew?
