Exactly my thoughts as well!
Have bad things happened to our great nation over these past years? Yes. Is it anything we can’t fix? No. Has anyone ever in the history of the world ever got anything that was truly worth a damn that they did have to work for or fight for? NO!
I feel just as you Windflier and I have said this before and I now say it again; Like you I would rather die standing shoulder to shoulder with friends and family protecting our own on the soil that my forefathers bleed and died to protect than to live out my life old, alone, and more than likely broke in some third world rat trap. Yes I might die under the heel of some tin pot despot or overwhelmed by his zombies, but I will at least be able to look those family members in the eye when I hopefully meet them in the next life and more importantly I will be able to say to my God:
“I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith”
2 Timothy 4:7

But I can not abide the thought of dying a foreigner among strangers, who do not understand or have knowledge of my ancestors, my history or my culture and there living out my days on earth like a shadow, without hope or a land of my own.
“I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith” 2 Timothy 4:7
Thank you for expressing that, Kart. I believe these affirmations of resolve and faith in our country and our fellows are essential in this time of assault against us.
So many around us are losing their will to stand strong, and their endless defeatist diatribes are a poison that infects others. We must counter that, or watch as demoralization lays waste to us. Nothing would make the enemies of the republic happier than to see us destroy ourselves.
