“So you miss Jim Crow and lynchings and women dying from back alley abortions and dogs attacking peaceful protestors...an an an...” quote from any leftist prog...[spit]
No I do not miss any of those things. I do miss the promise that was made between America and me: work and do your best for me and I will work and do my best for you.
There was a contract between us and the government...between employer and employee and between community and individual. it WORKED for the majority, not everyone but for the majority.
There was something called shame and kept behavior in check. We didn’t give graphic winks nods and overt acts saying your perverse ways are ok. There was a RESPECT for God even if you did not believe. Yes, there were out of wedlock births but they were roundly condemned and there were so many fewer of them because of the condemnation.
Much of that America was stolen from us forcefully by judges making stuff up and smarmy whining leftists who now insult us with impunity.
And all we can seem to do is write wistfully of our beloved country’s passing. Because we all have too much to lose to stand up and begin the work that has to occur by the rending of the remaining bonds, to forge a restoration of our founding documents. To recognize that if we can’t go back...we go another way.
I am not young anymore...but I do NOT go quietly. Because I believe in the promises that were made and that we ARE the shining city on the hill.
Yes...I remember seventeen and eighteen year old girls being sent out of town for a 'nine month course' at a community college that wasn't available in our area. Mind you; that was as recent as the mid-seventies.
