....all gone. :(
Add the GOP to your list.
Ouch.
The most destructive death of all.
And they still won’t get it.
This is the fate of everything born. My problem is not so much that we’ve lost great conservatives, my problem is I don’t see any new ones emerging from anywhere...
That they were conservative isn’t important. Most were good men.
Lost my son last month also....jeremyearnshaw.com very tragic for us....
Very sorry for your loss - touching website.
And the replacement generation is largely still grabbing all the goodies it can get with earmarks and such.
I live in a Military town and I see just the opposite. Just after school let out for the summer, I was having lunch at a McDonalds and watched a Dad (military by his haircut and demeanor) march his two teen-aged boys in and have them fill out job applications for summer employment. I've been back to that McDonalds several times and I see that both boys were hired. Seems Dad wasn't going to have his boys lounging around all summer, and the boys are going to earn their spending money. But there is a lot of that around here, the military brats (for the most part) are well behaved and respectful. Yes, there are a few idiots.
