At the moment, it sure looks like you’re right.
I have long held what my grandfather taught me, ‘Bravery is the ability to control ones fears.’ Gramps was right, but it is becoming much more difficult to keep those fears in check.
Perhaps it’s because most everything is failing, we are all being attacked on so many fronts and the enemy is from within. With our leadership so corrupted and protected, it’s going to be tough times for a long time, I’m afraid.
As with anything, there is a breaking point. I wonder if those that are tearing our country apart have considered that when justice comes for them, it will give no quarter.
Sic Semper Tyrannis.
Great post.
I just watched the (decent, but flawed) JOHN ADAMS HBO miniseries, and David McCullough said in the documentary included in the set that Adams wished for an American spirit of excellence, and for people to strive for and foster in their children a sense of desire to achieve.
I work in a school, and I am shocked at some of the crap I hear coming from the mouths of teachers with degrees--the kind of people most Americans just assume are smart.
And they're teaching our kids that the government should be there to take care of everyone.
That's the mindset that's on the rise. As Clint Eastwood recently said, a mindset that has voters supporting the candidate who's going to give them something.
What's to become of us if we're all in it to GET something, instead of supporting a government that's there to leave us be--you know, all that freedom and independence stuff?--so WE can do the getting and giving ourselves?
“I wonder if those that are tearing our country apart have considered that when justice comes for them, it will give no quarter.”
They are in for a rude awakening.
