Beautiful sentiment, it brought a tear to my eye. I cannot believe how this country has changed. We have become a country without a backbone. We tolerate traitors in our midst, yet do nothing to call them out. While I don’t agree with everything GWB has done, I shudder to think of what awaits us in the next 4, possibly 8 years. I am truly scared that this country is in decline. We have ceased being a people of courage and have become a country of freeloaders.
I imagine if John F Kennedy uttered his famous inaugural line today he would be booed resoundly. If given an opportunity to ammend the line now it would probably read “Ask not what you can do for your country...ask what your country can do for you...” How sad.
My husband and I were discussing that very thing today. For the first time in our lives we are truly concerned about the future of our country.
If we don't wake up on our own before it's too late, we are going to have a rude awakening after it's too late.
I read somewhere that only 10% of the adult population of the Soviet Union were members of the Communist Party, and yet....
Some were so indoctrinated and conditioned that they wanted to turn back, even after the people were freed from the stranglehold of Communist oppression.
We are getting close to the tipping point where the percentage of people who know and care about the intent of our Founding Documents are being outnumbered by those who do not know, or care. That is scary.
