No, it wasn't. While there are many in this country who don't care, who have fallen to the evil, the majority of us are still a people of hope. We live every day doing our jobs, saying our prayers, supporting our troops, providing for our families, friends and the needy. This is the America I know. It's the America that scares the s--- out of Bin Laden and all those who have pledged their lives to the destruction of any who disagree with them.
Americans have pledged their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor to defend and uphold the concept that we will be a free people dedicated to the idea that all of us are created equal.
I still believe. I'm sorry you don't. By not believing, you may have already been defeated.
