Worried

I’m just an old W. Texan and really don’t understand the World today. But I think we saw where our country is headed last Tuesday in Alabama and I’m just glad I don’t have that long to go. We’re in deep Pasture patties.

I was raised in Texas. I console myself almost daily with the take that I’m old and will hopefully be gone before America leaves the world stage.

Roy Moore was just one battle. We haven’t lost the war.

That’s what the enemies of Western Civilization want you to think. They aren’t as powerful as they’d like you to think. They want you to give up. Don’t give in to it.

I feel the same way. I’m 61 and will be winding down relatively soon. Though I worry what kind of place will be left for my grandchildren, there’s little I can do to change the trajectory of this declining country.

>> It’s up to them to change things.

"...It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us -- that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion -- that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain -- that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom -- and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth."

Abraham Lincoln
November 19, 1863

I’m a Baby Boomer, and even as a teenager I (justifiably, as it turned out) had the same grave concerns about my own generation taking the reins of power.

‘I don’t think Moore was a good test bunny. Trump predicted about a month before that he would loose.
Trump is currently draining the swamp more than any president in my lifetime. Worth praying for our country every day.’


Agree with everything you said! I was pro Judge Moore, but someone pointed out that he lost 2 statewide elections in 2006 and 2010. Trump was right from beginning when he said he didn’t think Moore could win.

Mom and Dad are from west Texas, I grew up in Dallas and went to California in the 1988 - headed back in about 2 years, cannot wait to get back home for good. And yes in a lot of ways as Ty Cobb so eloquently put it, the world is lousy. TRUMP is a shinning star I hope does much good.

Joe Straus, TX House Speaker, and U.S. Rep. Will Hurd (Dist. 23) issued sharp attacks on Judge Moore, even as he was defeated. Straus hailed the Jones campaign. TCruz betrayed Judge Moore last month. The only good news we got from the latest developments is that Straus is not running again.

Well I am with you. I ont get this modern world and dont want to be in it. I hate millinneals and thier pot, tattoos, spikes in the ears and their communistic ideas. And this was before Moores defeat. Everyday I consider suicide, but know that will send me to a hell worse than this world.

>>Thank god they’re on their way out.

Amen. Some of us raised in the 60’s have the common sense to observe that 1968 sucked enough the first time — and that only Idiots (useful and otherwise) would try to “recreate” it.

Read the novel Gone with the Wind. It’s not considered by many to be the greatest novel ever for nothing. The author based it on actual statements by civil war veterans and people who lived through the civil war.It’s very factual and awesome beyond belief, much better than the movie. This is why liberals want to ban it as it gives the truth about the civil war.

No we are not. Illary LOST!
Did you hear the cheering at the FBI graduation today at Trump’s words?
See the markets? Consumer sentiment?
#metoo exposure of liberal hypocrites?
The FBI & DOJ be exposed of their corruption against President Trump day after day? This will not end weell for Mueller comey etc.
Here’s a poem I wrote and I hope it cheers you up, especially if you are up here in the North:
A Winter’s Poem
Oh, on those cold winter days!
How we wish for warmth while icily embedded in ourselves.

Chin lift up!
Eyes look around!

Look at the folk who cheerily endeavor
not thinking about themselves.
They move and work on, as on any other day.

See the children!
Whether yours or not, happily and smiling they go about their play.

Spy the lovers!
Nothing creeps into or disturbs their warm embraces.

Eye the sky whether cloudy or clear!
It’s a wondrous, magical and miraculous thing.

Hear the cheer emanating from the party next door!
Share in the pleasure of knowing that all people are not at war.

So shed your cool introspective, get up and get out!

Make the miracle of a smile happen or create for someone a laugh.
Help someone directly or indirectly, it matters not how.
Charity is a giving, sharing a blessed circle.

And then go sit back down!
Chin up this time, and feel the warmth of a life worth living.

I hate the communist millenials too !

It was so great seeing the communist millenials melt down yesterday after Trump repealed obama’s net neutrality. Trump literally saved freedom and the internet yesterday. We have 3 years left of freedom and capitalism or 8 if Trump wins in 2020.

Yesterday Trump literally saved the Internet and freedom:
