It is indeed a puzzle. In a time when we need people with a plan, speaking truth, and the courage to keep steady course...voted into power was the party without any of those values.

Part of the problem is we have let academia set the stage of the social(ist) revolution. A whole generation, now able to vote, calls themselves free-thinking and open to all kinds of ideas. And yet for all their words about free-thinking, love all, etc. They were never thought the critical thinking skills of evaluation and survival. Neither their parents, not academia, have given them the skills to sort fact from fiction.

I know people who really believe 9/11 was created by the United States for its own purposes...I mean they believe it! No matter how many facts are given them to prove otherwise, including Bin Laden's own admissions.

I also strongly believe part of the problem is the insulated world most US citizens live in. Many seem to think that life like it is here in the US is similar around the world. Sure they see the pictures, but it doesn't register with them just how dang lucky they are to live in the United States. Somehow they can't relate bur-ques to brutality, children strapped with bombs as child abuse, human shields as murder, beheading, riots over pictures...

It is a disconnect I don't understand. And even such a disconnect is occurring throughout what is left of the 'free world'.

Good morning.

I would have flown the aircraft and not said a thing. Why? It may have been a chance to see if my skills were still intact.

Notice the mosques in your AO. Notice what goes in, and what comes out. One day, it may be a target rich environment.

The line has been drawn in the sand, and those who fail to understand truth, correct principles reality, and the wisdom of the founding fathers will ultimately find themselves on the wrong side of the line, where even being in the majority will not be of value.

Only 30% of the citizens during the Revolution, were the backbone. The remaining were traitors, and those drug along for the ride fearful of King George and his army, or just fearful of change. Luke warm at best, and actively against at worse.

Sadly the percentages don't seem to change over time. Truth does not change.
