I remember America it was a great country. Whatever happened to it?
WHERE DID I GO WRONG?
When did I become so out of touch with almost everything that appears to be going on around me? Before today, I was considered a mainstream guy, a straight shooter. I think of myself as a typical guy, right out of the American heartland, literally.. Where did I go wrong?
I am a red blooded American male, cut from the common cloth.. I believe in America, and the American Ideals, which was; God fearing, staunchly patriotic, hard-working, tax paying, law-abiding, a Norman Rockwell average Joe..However, by todays standards, I am backward, bigoted, racist, homophobic, misogynistic, judgmental, oh, and an imperialistic bully.. Sheeesh..
If I haven't changed much in my values, since I was a youngster, I still have the books that provided me with my mainstream views and values, that produced millions of others, just like me.. Then something must have changed, and if it wasn't me then who, or what changed?
I have a Bible, The U. S. Constitution, The U.S. Declaration Of Independence, and The Bill Of Rights.. If those documents have changed, I plead GUILTY! .
