This country isn’t worth patriotism anymore. What am I supposed to be proud of?

Work ethic? It’s non-existent in my generation.

Faith? Again, it’s dying in this country.

Rampant abortion? Rampant illegitimacy? Rampant welfare? Rampant ignorance? Asset forfeiture? Needless wars? Our movies? Our tv shows?

All of our best is in the past.

But as a Christian, I believe this is how I *should* feel, a stranger in a strange land. My country is God’s kingdom. It’s time for the flag-waving, military-loving conservatives here to ask if they have the right priorities.

It is when we all play safe that we create a world of utmost insecurity. It is when we all play safe that fatality will lead us to our doom. It is with the "dark shade of courage" alone that will allow the spell to be broken.
