Gentlemen, I have to agree with your feelings on the matter. What saddens me even more is that so many of our children know that WW II was a world war, fought against Germany and it ends there. Vietnam was about expansionism and Desert Storm was about grabbing oil.
They know nothing, nor do they care, about patriotism, personal responsibility, service to one's country and liberty.
For them the government will take care of itself while they go about their days tweeting, social networking, playing online video games and having fun. Perhaps a lot of the responsibility lies with us sitting idly by while the schools taught our children that it wasn't fair for you to have something that the other kids didn't have. That the government was the source of all that is good, that you should be ashamed to bow your head in prayer, that religion has no place in our schools, our government or our society. That faith in God was only for those who are ignorant and don't understand science and the big bang. We said little or nothing when the idealogues diminished and ridiculed anyone who dared speak the truth about those among us who would rather live on next to nothing than do an honest days work. We said nothing when profiling of any type became hate speech. We said nothing when our own president called terrorism a man caused disaster. We allowed those who don't contribute to vote themselves more and more of the resources that they do not deserve. We allowed the politicians to cater to that group for more and more votes while they ignored our pathetic wimpers about budgets, intrusions on our liberties and honest in government.
Yes, gentlemen, I believe that we are in large part responsible for the garbage going on today. So once again it falls to us to straighten out this mess. Throw out the garbage, demand a return to the constitution and end this lunacy.
May God give us the strength and wisdom to do what is just and right, may he bless and watch over us once again.
IMHO
