They do not LOVE at all.

Maybe this is the most powerful indictment of all, Ronnie. To me, it seems true, and if it were, one way or another, it would explain much. It may explain what has gone wrong in two generations since 1960. People, young people especially, should look around at the love that built and defended this country. Every opportunity, every advantage, every freedom we have was given to us by people who had so much love for America they were willing to give it all. From the Pilgrims to the battle of Lexington and Concorde, from the Indian wars to WW1, WW2, Korea, and Vietnam, American soldiers have loved enough to give it all.

The simple act of sacrifice was too complicated and too demeaning for Bill Clinton, and I don't see that he ever changed. I could forgive if there were honest repentance, but we'll never see it.

Hillary's cold, calculating photo opportunities in Iraq and Afghanistan demonstrate no real change of heart for her, either. How could she question a troop's commander in-chief right in the field like she did, if she really cared? She's on the right committees where she presumably could do what it takes to correct any wrongs, so that would have been the appropriate venue for expressing concerns, not in the field.

When love for this country is gone from our young people, it will collapse. I see signs that it's as strong as it ever was, and that is no thanks to the Clintons. Helping children see how much sacrifice has gone into building their world is maybe the best weapon against totalitarianism (and the terrorism that supports it) we possibly have.
