I have spoken to more than a few Millenials who told me, with straight faces, that they’d rather be European.

The free health care and the family leave and the month of paid vacation and all that.

I think it started when Clinton the rapist was elected and reporters asked for knee pads.

It's far simpler for an informed American citizen who wishes to remain a citizen and resist becoming a subject.

“My country, right or wrong; if right, to be kept right; and if wrong, to be set right.”

Or you can stand on the sideline and whine, bitch, and moan about the state of the country.

RE: “My country, right or wrong; if right, to be kept right; and if wrong, to be set right.”

This presupposes of course that we believe in the concept of RIGHT and WRONG, that there is an absolute standard by which we determine what’s right and what’s wrong. There used to be a time when this standard was defined by the Bible — The Judaeo-Christian worldview.

Unfortunately, with our postmodernistic educational system where “right” and “wrong” are individually determined, I’m not sure if our future American citizens even believe in that concept.

Many believe that right and wrong are matters of preference, that one man’s meat is another man’s poison, that one man’s terrorist is another’s freedom fighter.

This does not bode well for the future.

“America is God’s country.
All you have to do is look at San Francisco and know that it’s not.” So since there has never been a time without a San Francisco” God has never taken part in our civil affairs?

Weak argument try again. Think again. Do you really believe Trump’s election was not a miracle?

Curious to know where all these assholes would rather live. What doctor from another country would they like to have operate on them? Whose military would they like to defend them? What country’s equivalent Bill of Rights would they like to adopt? Which countries tax rates would they rather have? Which elite college or university would they like to attend outside the United States? If they’re gay, what country would treat them better? How about a Muslim country? And speaking of religion, what country would they like to worship their faith in other than the United States?

Ingrates and assholes all...

right and wrong are matters of preference

To do right or wrong is a matter of preference.

However,all but the youngest child know
what is
right or wrong,
what is good or bad,
what is correct or incorrect,
and,
what is good or evil.

Evil is evil even when everybody is doing it, good is good even when no one is doing it.
