Patriotism?

The current generation plays video games. They are comfortable living in a reality created mostly by computers. They are comfortable playing army on the screen. They are comfortable with the security their cell phones provide with mommy only a phone call away. They are comfortable on MySpace and FaceBook and on iTunes and iPhones. The Baby Boomers and Generation X have almost graduated life, and Generation Jihad is waiting. Nobody knows what that is and what they will want. Swinging is passé, or is it? Book clubs are stuffy. When is the last time you heard a dirty joke? It is not P.C. to tell jokes anymore. It seems conservatives have strangled America so much in public Generation Jihad has taken to the trenches to live their lives, the trenches of the computer. It is like World War ll. They are hiding in tunnels trying to escape the brutal reality of a war against an enemy they seemingly didn’t provoke and don’t even know. They are the victims of a residual hate left on their plates undevoured by generations before them. Why do they have to live through a war that doesn’t even concern them? They didn’t invade Iraq. They didn’t care about Kuwait. They just wanted to live their lives in America not necessarily around the graven image of the automobile. Those choices were made for them by those voted into power meant to care about them. Be patriotic about what?
