" I hate to think of it affecting my kids and grands"

That's what it comes down to for me. At least WE remember when life was better and the majority of people were more sane, when doing the right thing and building character were virtues and virtue and character mattered for those in positions of leadership, whether in the secular world or in the church. What will our children and grandchildren remember of those times, especially our grandchildren. They won't. They will only know this chaotic mess we have now that hates God and country, mocks everything that is sacred and celebrates perversity and that bears no resemblence to the America we know, or knew and wish to restore.

Libby, I wasn't around in my parents day or my grandparents day .. but I do have the stories that have been passed down. And I will pass their stories along with my stories to my children.

The enemy thinks they can control our thoughts, our faith and our dreams .. They cannot and they will fail .. Why??? because WE THE PEOPLE will not let them succeed. As long has we keep the fire going, it cannot burn out. But if we give up, only then will the fire go out. I agree that it can be very depressing at times but don't ever give up faith and don't ever give up hope, because then the enemy will win. It is up to us .. all of us

The pilgrims never lived in a free society with sensible people and virtuous leaders - so they moved on and made a pkace for themselves and their children. Some group within the next generation or two may have the same gumption and start fresh again. I think it's Biblical. Remember, America took a long time to rise, and the next "America" won't be instant either.
