Just wanted to make a note that on this thread you have given me hope. I just HAVE to believe that there are enough people around like myself who REMEMBER the “old America” (especially those who grew up during the Cold War), and know of the sacrifices our families made in WWII, and have known veterans lucky enough to come home PERSONALLY.
I also have faith in our U.S. Military. Their treatment over the last 8 years has not destroyed their honor - if anything it has shown them that the left does NOT honor them, nor their service, nor their sacrifices in the name of the U.S., Freedom from Oppression, etc...
The only thing I fear is that the people in this country will accept these new changes out of fear — much like the Russians, Germans, and the Venezuelans accepted things (to name a few). Obama was right to run on “Hope” because many Americans are feeling hopeless in some ways, and that worries me as well — even though they don’t realize it’s all propaganda they’ve been fed for the 2 decades in the agenda-driven media.
Hirohito once said that he would never invade mainland American because there was an American with a gun behind every blade of grass... Well, in many places outside the cities — that’s probably about right (with plenty to share with those who are without for whatever reason if it became necessary).
My all-time favorite TV show in the last few years was Jericho (which I watched online). One of my all-time favorite movies is the Patriot, followed by Red Dawn. Can you tell? LOL I hope it doesn’t come to that type of a scenario, but if it does — As a woman I’ll do what I can for those fighting for me, that’s for sure. Florence Nightingale, or Julia Child - here I come! LOL
