Same song - different verse

[nodoginnafight]

In the 1860s during emancipation .... "America isn't America anymore"
IN 1919 when women got the vote .... "America isn't America anymore"
In the 1920s with a flood of immigration .... "America isn't America anymore"
In the 1960s during desegregation .... "America isn't America anymore"
in the early 2000s when old white men lose complete control ... "America isn't America anymore"

You're right.

America is better than it was. And a more true reflection of "Liberty and justice for all" than it has ever been before.

Actually the country is overrun with illegal aliens and we are paying 2 billion a year to deliver their babies.

What's wrong, are they the wrong color or something? Our birth rate has been declining.

American babies, no matter who they are born to, grow up to be productive citizens. Isn't that what the anti-gay marriage people say is the reason we give married people tax breaks? Isn't that why we give tax credits for having babies? We love babies in America! Because babies are good for America in the long run.

Let's get our stories straight, people!

You're right.

People are resistant to change, and every generation thinks that they are paragons of virtue while their children are morally bankrupt, lazy, and the end of all that is good and right.

So what else is new?

This is not a logical basis for approving every suggested change that comes down the pike.

Agreed.
But "America isn't America anymore " is certainly not a justification for opposing changes either.

Every generation has its old men who scream, "IT'S THE END OF THE WORLD IF WE DON'T CONTROL (fill in the blank)."

This time, it's basically, "OMG! OBAMA!" and whatever they can blame on him.
