Integrity in politics and politicians, especially President.

I miss not thinking my government is the enemy. I miss not feeling helpless over my rights and liberty—that I am not represented or that my representative and myself are out numbered. I miss being oblivious to how *not free* we really are.

I miss:

1. A firm believe that America is defending its sovereignty.
2. Having a President who believes in America as a “Shining City on a Hill.”
3. The America that had a moral compass, rather than a political windvane.
4. Having the belief that America is truly #1 in the world.
5. Knowing our friends, allies and neutrals respected us and our adversaries feared us.
6. The days before “political correctness.”

I miss having someone or some party in the government that seems to genuinely represent my traditional, conservative views, and I miss having a surrounding culture that isn’t a degenerate sewer which constantly spits in my face and holds contempt for every value I hold dear.

On a more positive note, if the whole country crashes-and-burns at this point, it does seem like far less of a loss than it would have been previously.

I miss buying a gun and not worrying if it will put me on a list with DHS. Also miss not wondering if it will be the last one I buy legally.

I miss the Worldview of our Founding Fathers-—which is being destroyed and replaced by the godless, socialist, selfish worldview of the German Postmodernists—where you can not trust anyone—even your own children.

Virtue (Justice, Wisdom, Perseverance, Duty, Temperance, Humility, Patriotism) is no longer taught to our children, since Dewey and many parents have split or have to work full-time, so leave the formation of their children’s minds to strangers (TV) where the worldview of atheism/socialism/narcissism/self-gratification is taught 24/7.

Culture and Values should be transmitted by parents and family—never TV and strangers and atheists so we form decent human beings.

There is no decency in leftists. None. They can’t even reason since they are useful idiots and brainwashed and the Marxists who know what they are doing are pure evil.

So the Christian worldview of our children is being replaced with the morals of gutter snakes who live for the instant gratification and selfishness and care nothing for the weak and helpless. They are out for utopia-—eliminate everyone who doesn’t “think” like themselves or will contribute to the collective cesspool.

Not feeling like I have to whisper, if I say something that's not completely, 100% complimentary about our president

Spot on. I'd add the same comment about anyone of any "Protected Minority", which amounts to everyone except straight Asian and White males.

I miss being able to honestly criticize people and their behavior without worrying about whether they might be members of a protected class, and whether my words might be held against me by a government agency or by an employer.

I miss the days when Christmas trees proliferated in public spaces, and teachers sang carols along with their students, and felt joy in doing so.

I miss going to the movies and not having my intelligence insulted, my senses assaulted or my beliefs mocked.

I miss the America which celebrated independence - and meant it.

I went to visit my son at Boy Scout camp last night for family night. They had a camp fire for about 500 people - about 150 Scouts. We said the Pledge, sang some songs, they did some skits, recited the ideals of Scouting, gave thanks to their leaders, families and to God.

To see these boys and young men following in this age old tradition, learning real life skills and values while having simple fun, and hopefully on their ways to becoming future leaders in society and this country was really moving. I'm pretty bullish on America today.
