This will not end with me.
The pictures of Washington and Lincoln might be gone from classrooms, but I remember gazing at them on those walls. The American flags in the corners. The tall windows. The old desks. The copies of McGuffey Readers. The emphasis on math quizzes and times tables, on American history and geography. A prayer to start the day.
This will not end with me.
The entire country watched in wonder when Apollo 11 went to and Neil Armstrong walked on the moon. We marveled at the space blankets and space bars that came as a result. The TVs playing after midnight, all to watch “one small step for Man” brought Mankind to its knees in a prayer of thanks to God and American knowhow.
This will not end with me.
Hand me downs and paper routes were commonplace. Working from young ages was a way to learn self-reliance. Pride of craftsmanship and knowing how to cook and change tires, pick apples, paint and sweep floors were simple tasks all boys and girls, men and women knew.
This will not end with me.
Knowing good value for good products, pride of ownership, and faith in the God of our Fathers bespeaks America’s bright self-confidence, ebullience, good will and forthright honesty testifies to our pioneering will and belief in our future.
God is with these values. And so are we Americans. We led so many to freedom. Now we must lead ourselves back to our forebears’ legacy. Born of shed blood from that on The Cross of Christ to the boots on the ground, for the sake of our and our children’s lives, this cause will not end with me.

Nor will it end with me.
Not while I’m still breathing.
America is dying — Thank a teacher.
Um there.
Original post was pulled my the Admin because of “OP”, what does OP mean in Admin speak?
Sadly, the teachers that give a damn are ridiculed by administration. My wife just said screw it and went Gault (luckily she doesn't need to work). Teachers are rewarded for just pushing people through, if they try to instill values or actually teach something, they are ridiculed or harassed. (boy do we have some stories). It is the system as a whole. Getting by with the least, not expecting the best.
Original poster.
I pulled it because I couldn’t get the paragraphing right. Also, my space bar keeps going to different lines and making for spelling errors and weird spacing. As soon as I originally saw this, I asked for it to be pulled so I could try again.
I’ve had to reboot a couple of times today because of various PC issues. It happens.
OP = Original Poster
A courtesy if the person who posts a thread asks to be pulled we’ll do that. Sometimes they just want to fix something and try again.
Thanks.
0bama is actually bringing me and my family closer together, since we are all conservatives and share the pain.
Heck my Dad and I are taking up Trap shooting. We just tried his friend’s shotguns and we loved it. Never fired a shotgun in my life, I hit 10 of 25 1st round and 15 of 25 in 2nd. And I thought I wasn’t gonna hit one. Poor Dad, he hit 5 of 25, then 3 of 25. But I don’t tease him hehehe.
Bump!
It won’t end with me either.
Amen & Amen !!!!
“Let everything that hath breath praise ye the LORD. Praise ye the LORD.” (Psalm 150:6)
“Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD.”.....(Psalm 33:12)
And here I thought that you had it pulled because the original post had ‘John Glenn’ as walking on the moon! 8-)
I flat out got that wrong. Funny. I had to smack myself!
One of the first things I remember about school was Sputnik. Glenn’s voyage was a marvel. The walk on the moon, though—that was really something. Everywhere we looked. It was one of the 1st times I remember seeing that unmistakable TV ‘blue light’ after midnight everywhere in the neighborhood.
Blame idiot Americans watching TV for losing America.
Obama controls hollywood and TV so the p8ublic will do his bidding. Americans will sell their souls to keep their cable channels. Each month their payments for sat Tv or cable make Obama stronger.
The judiciary is totally corrupt along with the legislature, executive branch and Joint Chiefs of Cowardice.
Nor me!
I’ve passed it on to my young who are teaching their young as we speak!!!
I am almost there, Frantzie. We keep cable right now, in rank order, to watch 1) Beck, 2) Cavuto 3) Kelly 4) old movies 5) christian channels (Hagee, Perry Stone and Van Impe, in that order), 6) Burn Notice, 7) Dinner Impossible 8) Military history channel, 9) Holmes on Holmes and 10) Hannity.
But I’m almost there.........
American media is SPAM in plasma. As for Hollywood....I love the smell of burned paychecks eminating from the mouths of traitors.
