Some of you older Freepers may remember the times when we used to think that being an American meant that the world had to treat you fairly.

Remember the old phrase, “You can’t do that to me, I’m an American.”? We actually thought it meant something. Different times.

the world needs to be re-taught that lesson

We need to be lead by warriors , not lawyers

not any more.
Because once we believed that we were defined as those opposing totalitarian Communism atheism.

That is no longer true.

We are the world's leading moral relativists and economic statists-—at least we are being led by them.

NO moral or economic high ground any more -— not an ounce or inch left.

It was late in 1983 when Ninoy Aquino was executed by F. Marcos military thugs on the tarmac of Manila Intl Airport.. Ninoy on a high profile return to the Philippines after years of exile in Boston Mass. Then and there all Expats in the PI realized their royal made in USA hides were expendable. It was a year of living very dangerously for me.
