“If we can’t stand up to Iran what makes you think we can stand up to Russia? “


There is a reason why no one paints about the themes Norman Rockwell did anymore.

Do you think someone like Teddy Roosevelt, Washington, or Eisenhower would stand a chance to be President today?

There is a reason why socialist dogma is preached as “the cure all” by those hoping to become President today.

We live in an America where you have hate crimes, affirmative action plans, and protected classes, basically creating special people with extra rights. Is that what the founding fathers, now referred to as the “Framers” wanted?

The pioneer spirit, the get it done mentality; the rough, tough Western American is dying. Guns are evil, gays are cool. A law and court will manage your family affairs, personal responsibility is gone. In fact you as an individual should not even have the right to self defense anymore according to our intellectual friends. People today look inwards, people 100 years ago looked outwards. Do we still care to go further into space, or know what the atmosphere on Titan is? Today we want to cocoon ourselves and are concerned about what some European leach of a nation thinks of us. Years past we spoke of a “manifest destiny.” Today we talk of multiculturalism, in the past we spoke of a melting pot. This nation was to be “Under God,” where your rights are God given to you, today in 2008 (CE- Common Era, which has replaced AD) we want separation of church and state.

How American is America?
