"The American people will always find a way to freedom..."

Always? I used to think that too. But now, I'm realizing that the "American people" have changed drastically from what they were back in the days of my mom and dad. For one thing, we have millions more immigrants living here now, ones that do NOT work, pay taxes and contribute but that DO reject the American culture and language, while embracing socialism and/or communism. We have so many foreigners here now, that I feel like I am in another country when I go to the bank, store, etc.

Is it any wonder that half of the country has misplaced loyalties? Loyalties that lie in other countries perhaps? Couple that with the entitlement-minded African Americans and other minorities and you have an eventual recipe for economic disaster, which is what we're witnessing now. Even without the robbing and raping of America that the DemocRats have done, this system would eventually fail on its' own without a radical reversal.

So no, I don't agree with that "always". I only wish it were so.

I understand what you are saying...but if you look back at the American Revolution, the country was not united on fighting for Independence....A good portion of the citizens liked being aligned with England and a good portion was not interested in fighting the war...It took leaders and believers in freedom....The stats I read once on the revolution(not vouching for their authenticity) Was that 1/3 of the country wanted to break with England and 1/3 didn't care and the other 1/3 wanted to maintain allegiance..I think it has always been that way....The saying "Give me liberty or give me death" still applies in the hearts of many....

On that I am an optimist....
