Fantastic thread. But also sobering.
I am about your age. I think folks our age and above just remember the good days of America, when it was strong. Perhaps never perfect, but definitely stronger ..and first rate. And we’re seeing its decline. Younger people just don’t have the same perspective.
I am prone to tearfulness lately. I am just sad for America. Sad and angry at the ignorance and evil of so many people now. Just disgusted with the Sheeple mentality. I am also very worried. VERY, very worried for my kids, esp the youngest who is 10 and mildly autistic. I don’t even want to think what his life would be like w/o me ...But this thread really helped me tonight.
In the end, it’s all about God and family. I have cut back at work because I refuse to work like a dog just to pay more taxes and just want to enjoy life and be there for my family. I wonder if they are counting people like me in the employment picture ...
Wonderful post, LRJ.
I’ve been tearful too lately. We are the ones who understand the danger our country is in. Many others don’t get it. They are too busy or too stupid.
But it IS all about GOD, FAMILY and COUNTRY.
I try priorize them in that order. Sometimes I’ve put country first for a period and forgot that the other two are most important and without them, I wouldn’t have the blessed life that I do.
