Let me add a little historical perspective. One neat advantage to being chronically challenged and maintaining a vivid recollection, is no one can rewrite my memory..
I remember the 50’s and the Korean War, a war no one wanted, or backed. We thought we would never win, because we hadn't even recovered from WWII, and the new body counts were staggering. All was lost when we capitulated and settled for an draw..
Then came the 60’s, with assassinations, lawlessness, civil rights marches and riots, and filthy hippies, and LBJ.., oh, and Viet Nam! I was convinced we were finished..
Remember the 70’s?? Anti-war riots, drugs, Nixon, Watergate, the Viet Nam War, the media bitching at Nixon, 24/7..Jimmy Carter for heaven sakes, gas lines, 20% interest rates, double digit inflation.. Who thought we would survive those years???
Obama, Reid, Pelosi, Holder, will all be in the rearview mirror in no time, and we will be enjoying a recovery from this mistake like all of the others in due time.. You can tell your grandkids like I do about the old shit they won't listen to now about my yesteryear.. HA!
So good to see you my FRiend, Happy 4th to you and yours.. :)
Bring out the Grand ole Flag my dear FRiend, as I will, and wave it high.. Show the neighbors that FREEDOM RINGS! VOTE!
This is a bad dream that our country will recover from, and make something good happen from this chicken shi#.. Trust me this is just a blip in a long line of blips.. GO BLESS AMERICA.. VOTE

Another GREAT contribution, carlo! Have always enjoyed your messages from the heart.
Jack my man, totally understandable, and I am tempted to do the same.. However, I choose to focus my disappointment on the socialist in our White House, and the people that don't care enough to stay educated on the factors that brought about this economic disaster..
Everyone has to pitch in to get back to a prosperous nation, and the least we need to do is VOTE, get our families out to VOTE, and encourage our friends to get to the poles and VOTE!
Au Contraire my dear FRiend.. Our Progressive/Democrat, politicians have been moving our culture and economics to the European socialist model for decades. That needs to be reversed NOW, and we need to start with this election by dismantling this albatross brick by brick until it's gone. Not an easy task, but a start by rooting out this weed one by one..
The country you love, we love, I love, doesnt exist anymore....
I believe that negativity is the wind that fuels the ‘Rats’ devious plan.
So go shove all that cr@p out with the garbage and FIGHT BACK against the B@$tards!! Pray on your knees; in your car while driving; in the grocery line & when you water your lawn. If you are a true patriot...someone who believes that the Founders’ vision and the Constitution were the right course and THE way for our blessed land of opportunity and freedom, then you are up at the crack of dawn sticking American flags in the soil at the corner of every driveway.
Your fate has EVERYTHING to do with how YOU are going to react to it. You can get angry, you can cry, you can complain — but make those short-lived by using them as fuel to get your @$$ in gear to FIGHT! Go out and find 5 DUmmies and convert them! Wear political shirts with conservative messages and be a moving billboard to educate the unenlightened.
I’m sorry if you don’t understand what I’m saying and for my jagged tone, but you’d better get on board now, otherwise you’ll be shuffling along in line all too soon.
Thank you so much for that beautiful essay!
A belated AMEN!!!!!!
Possibly valid in past tense. Use in present tense exhibits pathological denial about (worsening) current state of affairs.
God Bless America!
Not sure He bothered to do that even once after January 22, 1973. I think the "Damn" side of the equation is heavily tipping the scale by now.
Is that an invitation to defeatism? Well, I sure do appreciate it, but I'm afraid I'm gonna have to decline ;-)
Friend, the country we love is still here. We've simply got a pestilence inside our gates that must be exterminated, to restore our nation to its former luster and glory.
You up for that?
Love your idealism.
Personally, I’m old and bent and cynical, but there’s no need to pay any attention to me; it’s a world for the youngsters now.
Whoa! Not even close. We have taken another hit, no doubt, and this one is a doosie, but we are soooo much bigger than this tinhorn dictator!
SNOWjob, halfWHITE, and his Cloven Dwarfs, can continue to LIE, CHEAT, STEAL, and HIDE, but it's too late..
