Americans were into recycling during WWII (scrap metal, paper drives, rubber, etc...).
Then again there was government rationing of food and gas.
National Security means nothing to pointy headed liberals who consider America to be the cause of the problems. Their ultimate goal is the collapse and overthrow of our constitutional system of government.
Now more than ever we need to remind people they don't have to stay here if they don't like it. They need to stop trying to change hundreds of years of social thought and impose their global will. They can move to whichever country they think is doing it better. Love it or leave it. The public has rejected socialism over here again and again.
I agree with you and will take it one step further. I will buy the plane fare for any anti-constitutionalist-American to any place on the planet. They just have to relinquish citizenship and promise to never return.
