We live in an area of townhomes with with many former Soviet Union owners; people who lived in rentals, worked very hard, saved their money and are now homeowners. In fact almost every home that has come on the market in the past few years has been purchased by this particular group. It is a very desirable neighborhood especially for young families. Each home is meticulously cared for; these people are fierce in their allegiance to the United States and refer to themselves as “we Americans”. I feel a special tie to them since two of my grandparents came from Ukraine.

Every single one of them is bewildered by the turn America has taken. They all say they lived thru the horrors of Communism and Socialism—it is why they risked everything and came here with such hope for the future—freedom and the ability to achieve a successful life on their own. We are amazed by their children who are high achievers in school, respectful and responsible and friendly.

One came to our door the other day for a second time—a high school assignment. He was asking for our opinions on the Vietnam war; we were amazed this is actually being taught in our local high school. We would like to meet his teacher. His earlier assignment had been our reactions to 9/11; the emotions we felt, etc. His parents are from Azerbaijan(?(—his mother has a master degree in English)—they are so incredibly thankful that they were able to come to America. When we heard that “go home” words had been sprayed on their windshield, my husband advised them to notify the police. They were amazed that when the police came that they were actually concerned about the incident—other neighborhoods had reported similar vandalism. Where they came from people were afraid of the police. They are holding on tightly to the American dream. I’m sure they are praying very hard that the dream does not become a nightmare.

All these parents cannot understand why Americans would stand for the policies toward socialism of Obama when they have failed everywhere else. And don’t they understand that they are in great danger of losing their rights and their liberty, that day by day the Govenment is controlling more and more, issuing orders of what is not permitted? A couple not allowed to build on property they bought because it is in wetlands, with water nowhere in sight. A young child being told the lunch her mother lovingly packed for her is bad and must be replaced by what the Government deems proper. The majority wishes being overturned by one disgruntled citizen who doesn’t like what is being done or said.

Wake up America, the land of the free and the home of the brave, before you are only a memory.

BRAVA for that beautiful post, my friend! Thank you!

Those who have come from the Soviet Union and from totalitarian governments, see what the Obama administration is doing, and recoil in horror.

He is making America into the same kind of place as the countries they fled.

But, again, to some freepers, it's no big deal. He's just a 'turd'.......not a villain.......not an anti-American totalitarian.

And once again, I truly believe that these people are few and far between among conservatives.

MOST of us get it. Those who don't just scream loud.

Full of sound and fury. Signifying nothing.
