A piece of paper doesn't make a marriage, a piece of paper doesn't make a doctor, a piece of paper doesn't make an engineer and a piece of paper doeasn't make an American. It is in your heart, or it isn't.
Remember 4th of July fireworks and the nightime crowd went, "ooooo" .. "Ahhhhh" ?
Remember Memoriol Day parades, maybe your dad had you on his shoulders, or you were in front, and you saw others salute the flag, so in your best John-John Kennedy, YOU saluted?
Remember making a thanksgiving turkey in kindergarten by tracing your hand on paper and the teacher helped you crayon in the different 'feathers' of your fingers?
Remember feeling a warmth, no matter WHAT your life was like, at Christmastime and the thought or hope of peace and love was really real because there was Jesus and you believed Him, and so did the rest of America?
Remember the smell of peanut butter and jelly sam'iches in grammer school and the walls had pictures of Washington and Lincoln ... the alphabet in print and cursive?
zero has NONE of those memories .. NO American thread, NO American fabric.
Rememnber ... he told us to know him by the ones he associates with ... I dare say, none of zero's administration have any American memories.
They all must go.
Impeach and remove immediately.
I was referring the the 1984 memory hole,,
Good post! You capture what it is to be American.
I would go back further as a kid during WWII and remember rationing, gold and blue stars hung in windows to indicate how many household members were in the military with the gold indicating ones who died, collecting cans and other scrap metal for use in the war, buying stamps at school which were later redeemed as war bonds, popular songs about the military and the war, etc., all done with a sense of dedication and loyalty to country.
Little did we know at the time that FDR and his cronies were fighting the war to save Joe Stalin’s butt and to transform the America we just described and the America we love into that we were fighting.
Obama is just the latest iteration of that transformation.
