Bob Strait was born in 1922. I can see Mr. Strait growing up in depression, dust bowl era Oklahoma. Real poor by any of today’s standards, but living a happy life, I like to think, all the same.
I imagine him as a 21 year old in the 101st Airborne, sitting on a steel bench in a plane waiting to jump. The darkness, the anti-aircraft explosions, waiting to jump into something terrifying.
He’s fortunate and he survives. He marries Nancy, they raise six children. The couple work, they contribute to their church and neighborhood. They live a modest and I’m suspecting, a happy life.
These two people represent the absolute core of what made this country. They are the diametric opposite of both the killer and a large swath of the people now in apparent control of this country.
Bob is alive, but both lives effectively ended when this unfathomable evil savagery wanted their 12 year old car and a television.
I’m a northerner, but I’m certain this would never have happened during the Jim Crow south. This country seems headed to a very bad end.
we make wrong, feel right and right, feel wrong.....or so we're told...
we must accept homosexual sex as just another life choice...
we must provide abortions to any and all...
we must give up our earned SS benefits and have our earned Medicare benefits skimmed back because for some cockamamie reason, its more important to treat ILLEGAL citizens who have no skin in the game, better than the real citizens...
we must accept that Jesus can be no part of Christmas celebrations...
we allow these animals to run around and we make excuses for them...
my excuse for them is that THEY ARE ANIMALS and should be treated as such....
