“..Basically, if my country re-elects Obama, then I am going to have a staggering amount of disrespect for America. ...”
It’s still OUR Country, brother. People DIED for it, loved it, cried over it, sweated and fought for it. Gave up ALL of their tomorrows for our Today, and left it to you and me to be Stewards of it.
America and Americans aren’t the problem. Liberalism/socialism is the problem; and the people brainwashing successive generations of youngsters into hating their own country are the problem.
Work to take it back at every level that you can possibly have an effect over. You only have control over a small area of things in your life...but you DO have control over that area. Use it.
You teach just ONE person, that’s one person less that the other side has to indoctrinate. Two, so much the better.
This ain’t over by a long shot, and you ain’t alone in the “negative effect” thing...but don’t add to it. Do something about it. Volunteer to be a coach; you can teach youngsters baseball, and give them lessons in Americana that the schools AREN’T teaching. I’ve done it for 12 years. It works. Parents will THANK you for it.
We’ll get the country we’re willing to surrender. I’m not willing to surrender it.
And I don’t think you are either.
If we are in for Hell, then so be it. It’s out of our hands, that level of control. But That sword can swing BOTH ways. Every generation gets it’s moment to stand up or roll over.
If this is ours, then that’s the way it is. Thank God for the chance to be a part of it, and thank God for being born an American and giving you the benefit of being able to see the difference between our way and the rest of the world.
We’re STILL a People, with a culture, a heritage, and traditions worth fighting for.
F*** ‘em. We’ll win this thing either way, ultimately.

“Should have been clear: by scum I only meant the obama voting ones. I know, not what I wrote, but what I meant to...”
I understand. If I was unduly harsh in my response to you, it was out of misunderstanding.
One Team, One Fight, folks.
I’ve been in Delaware the last three days and Obama is flooding the televisioin airwaves in this state with advertising spots for his re-election — very long ads contrasting his economic policies with Romney’s. These are ads like the ones that ran at the time of the Democratic National Convention.
So, under what conceivable scenario would Delaware be in play and require this enormous flood of ads?
The fact that people died for our country...that’s one of the things really getting to me. As I see it now, if America re-elects Obama, then the people of today essentially took all of those sacrifices made by men greater than me by far, and just threw them down the drain.
Just thinking of that makes me absolutely crazy.
But that being said, your post is magnificent. I really appreciate you’re writing that to me. It’s hard as Hell for me to keep things in perspective these days. This is literally driving me mad, but if I go mad, they win.
I was talking with my brother the other day who is contemplating sending my nephew to public schools in Denver. His reasoning is that they are some of the best public schools around and of course the cost of private school.
But I told him that you do not want union teachers eductating your son. If they do, there is a very good chance he will come home a good, little communist. I explained to him what they do in detail, and I said you only have one chance to fill the boy’s head with what needs to be in there, and the enemy knows this as well. They are going to try to beat you to that chance.
I’m not certain that I convinced him, but the seed is there, and I will try again. the child is not 2 yet, so there is time.
So I am trying to do what you suggested, despite my growing insanity, I am trying.
Thanks again for your post, NFHale, honestly.
You weren’t unduly harsh. I expressed myself poorly.
