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.
God bless your wife.
Need more teachers like her.
Why?
It was one or the other and she is a conservative.
“I guess it’s just where you live. “
It’s also who you are. You apparently picked a good one.
“[she] reprimanded several 8th graders who were saying nasty things about McCain.
Why? “
Because McCain is a genuine American war hero and worthy of respect.
A person can disagree with his position(s) but they need not get nasty about him.
You are so right! When we got married she was a 19 year old semi liberal, semi hippie. I was in the Army, took her to Europe, made her do the income taxes, watched as she voted Republican at our dinning room table in 72. She is a kind hearted, Christian, wonderful person, who local conservatives seek out to get her support at election time. Far nicer than I am, and she keeps me from driving to DC with a baseball bat!
All due respect, B-C, we are now the keepers of the ‘secret knowledge.’ This makes us among the most powerful forces around.
American Jedis. “There is no try. Only do.”
Patriotic Gandalfs. “You shall not pass.”
This will not end with me, FR, or American patriots.
There will be no resistance when the Crackdown comes. Anyone who tries to resist will find himself alone. The Waco treatment will follow.
I know you don’t believe me, but it is the truth.
Our military has plans for every conceivable military contingency. They have a plan in case war breaks out between Albania and Egypt. They have a plan for defending the Earth in case aliens attack us from deep space. And they have a plan for neutralizing a mass uprising by armed citizens of the United States. This plan used to be called “War Plan WHITE”. It is now called CONPLAN 2502. Why do you think President Bush created NORTHCOM? The purpose of NORTHCOM is to execute CONPLAN 2502. That’s what it was created for.
But don’t take my word for it. Look it up yourself. And never forget: if they did it to the Bonus Army, they can do it to you.
