Perhaps like no other time in our nation’s history, the United States is in trouble. But as serious as our problems might be, the solutions aren’t political. They are spiritual.

America is not a country; it’s an ideal. But when we lose the ideal, we’ll also lose the country.

Too many times we, as Americans, have taken freedom for granted. We have always known it. We have always lived under its shade. We drink from its fountain; we eat the fruits of its tree. But we never once pause to consider what our lives might actually be like without it.

Maintaining?

Then maintain them.

I lived behind the Iron Curtain and was freer then.

History will show that Obama, and his muslim cabinet, conspired with congress to destroy the American dream.

“Losing”?

Try lost
