How about instead of trying to playing mind doctor you offer your view of what’s to come? How about a counter to what I’ve said? How about you give me your hopeful, rosy view. How about trying to raise spirits instead of mindlessly calling one man’s view of our future a hopeless dream. Offer solutions instead of bashing the messenger. You’d make a terrible leader.
"Doctor, heal thyself".
You're the one who said, "It’s over, guys. One by one, FReepers, conservatives, Republicans, gun owners, Christians, Catholics, Jews will be scooped up, tracked, Vince Foster’d, or outright executed."
I ask you now. How 'rosy' is that statement?
Understand that I'm trying to snap you out of your doom and gloom mindset. Now's not the time to hopelessly grieve about our impending doom. Nothing of the kind is certain, and it's completely out of the question if all true patriots stiffen their spines and remember the courage of their forefathers.
This country didn't magically appear out of the pages of fiction, wonderfully penned by the Framer's generation. No, the majesty and magnificence of this nation was bought and paid for with real human sacrifice. Blood, treasure, property, freedom, sweat, tears, anguish, and real loss were the price, and your ancestors likely paid a part of it. I know mine did.
Do you think they possessed some special brand of courage that no longer exists in the DNA of Americans? You'd be wrong, if you did. They were as terrified of what they were forced to confront as anyone in this day and age. Men and women aren't born with courage. It's an assumed point of view. If you ever faced down a bully or a thug, then you know what I'm talking about.
It's a choice. A decision. One we must make for the sake of our children and their children.
