Thousands of teens fought and died for an America under a President with a stolen birth record, falsified Selective Service Card and a stolen Social Security number. This is beyond tragic.

Ha. Obama would be apologizing to Nazi Germany for our aggression if it was still around today. We’re just out to steal all the world’s resources, after all, so they were right to declare war on us. The same old crap. Appeasing evil instead of opposing it.

When I see what is happening today in our country, I always think of these people in WW2, and WW1, and the Civil and Revolutionary wars, and say to myself, “why did these people fight and die if all they were fighting for is for America to become a socialist hell-hole of gayly married welfare recipients who not only are not American, but who hate America and its laws and traditions.” Americans are now a remnant population within our borders. We will need to recreate our own America at some point, peopled by those who love America, freedom, our constitution, culture and our way of life.

Agreed. And the blood of every American who dies between now and the end of the Afghanistan conflict, thanks to our announcing the date of our withdrawal, will be on Obama’s hands. Just as in Vietnam, the enemy will simply wait until that withdrawal is complete and then eventually over-run the country, which means that all America deaths there will have been in vain.

If you haven’t seen ‘2012: Obama’s America’, you must. It supports, and enlarges upon, all that you just aid.

If you haven’t seen ‘2016: Obama’s America’, you must. It supports, and enlarges upon, all that you just aid.

Beautifully said, Defiant. You have summed up in just a few sentences the real and indescribably painful tragedy that is felt by the remnant of American patriots, the number of whom is growing smaller by the day.

Since the 60s, I'd estimate, each generation of Americans has been less aware of their proud heritage, and, as a result, less aware of the precious value of individual liberty, which is precisely why there is always an increasing number of Americans who simply don't care about the former (God forbid) and aren't willing to defend the latter.

All of the patriots you mentioned who fought, and many who died, in those wars will have died for no reason if we contine to forfeit our liberties and allow ourselves to be enslaved. It's impossible to wrap one's mind around the immensity of that ingratitude.

Where?

Australia? South America? Western Canada?

I’m all for an adventure. ;)

Where?

Uh, right here. Let all of those that hate America and love Fwance, the Arab Hell-holes, Russia or China move the Hell out and leave America for Americans. I'm still waiting for Alec Baldwin and a host of the other America-hating Lefties in Hollyweird to leave because Bush was elected and re-elected.

Short of them leaving the 50 states, they can all leave the states south of the Mason-Dixon Line and the mountain West - which they have nothing but contempt for anyway - and leave the rest of us alone.

Did you compose that article yourself? I am very impressed by the eloquence and the visual elegance you have committed to paper. You sound like Lincoln, when he wrote his deathless note of condolence.

Brilliant article, as always, Joanie.

The friends I have known who fought during WWII (many of whom are no longer with us) did indeed hesitate to talk about their memories of that war. In some ways, I am glad some of them are no longer with us. It would break their hearts to see what we have elected President. And it would break their spirits to know that he may be re-elected.

Yes, I am a 'Featured Commentator' on Patriot Post's 'Grassroots Commentary' section.

Thanks much for the very kind words. :)

Good luck with that.

All of the fools you mentioned -- Alec Baldwin and the host of other America-hating 'citizens' -- are now pretty much in the majority. So many American voters are now more interested in their government entitlements than they are in the honesty and vision of their leadership (and Obama has seen to it that that entitlement segment has grown exponentially since he took office). Another huge segment of the citizenry has absolutely no clue regarding the unconstitutional abominations this president has committed, but they think he is 'personable' and 'personable', to them, is sufficient for their vote. Add that to the blatant, and increasing, bias of the media, and the massive voter fraud that is planned before and on November 6th, and the 'real Americans' about whom you speak seem pretty small in number. We have very little clout anymore to tell the enemies of America where to go. They are living, and thriving, and their numbers are growing, among us.

No, it's my pleasure to lay a bouquet at the feet of so elosquent a FReeper. My congratulations to your husband, too, on his good taste.

Re the phenomenon you mentioned, of sentiment welling up, it is a well-known feature of late middle age, and IMHO it is partly the tug of approaching end of life issues, and partly it's an exaltation of vision, from the tiny circle of infancy to the slightly wider one of childhood, to the blurring-fast whirl of kaleidoscopic images and situations in adulthood, to (finally) the rising above former concerns to a widers, integrative view of the world and people's place in it -- and of what they're doing to each other. It's a sense, I think, of the tragedy of life, as well as its grandeur, its pathos of loss and pain in many countries amplified by knowledge of one's own time of grieving yet to come, but soon.

My attempt at an explanation, anyway.

***..has ‘shown arrogance and been dismissive, even derisive’ towards its European allies. ****

This reminds me of a political cartoon from about 45 years ago.

America was having some political problems with France at the time.
The toon showed Charles de Gaulle standing in front of a field of crosses at a US cemetery in France. He says....”Why do you Americans always stay where you are not wanted!”

Yes, right here. I don’t want to fight them, I just want to separate from them. If they want to fight us for that, well, we will do what we must.
