Thank you for that NFHale! I got teary eyed at that, and at all the security and blessings my teenage kids may never know. A lot of what you describe was still true even 10-15 years ago, at least in our little suburb in north Texas. But our world has changed SO much in those past 10-15 years. I feel we’ve been invaded and taken over by aliens; aliens to our country, or morals, our customs, we’ve lost that sweetness of caring for each other and pride in America, of all having the same outlook and values. What happened to us?

Socialist/communist bullcrap disguised as “liberal” happened to us.
Liberal in Thomas Jefferson’s sense, used to mean in the protection of individual liberty.
It’s been hijacked.
