That race of men are called ‘castrati.’
Very ture, however as we sacrifice more and more to big government, we lose that spirit of self reliance and ingenuity that drove America to become the land of the free and the home of the brave. Tough times are coming.
I do not think so. It is true the spirit has been diluted by liberals in academia, media, and the entertainment industry, however, it is still there.
I hope so. But I’m not optimistic right now. The government has soooo much more power than is Contitutionally sanctioned and I believe the Founders would be abhorred to see this country in the state it’s in now.
