Been talking to Foxhole people, got me thinking about why I have such strong emotions tied to long ago events. Shucks, I can't even remember any details any more, just a few mental images, some sounds, smells.

I don't know why I have such strong feelings. Except for one thing, maybe. One thing made up of parts.

I learned the Time, Newsweek, the TV networks, that whole bunch, were so far off in their reporting that it was as if they were horribly insane.

I learned that a tremendous number of Americans were fools. Often stupid fools.

I learned that there was indeed a very large Leninist Left here in the States, truly evil people, totally needing to be neutralized permanently and at any cost. Even at the cost of what is left of Constitutional Government.

The enemy was here, just as much as the enemy was in Viet Nam, and much more dangerous. We had been killing the wrong people.

I found that almost all people had a cow like acceptance of Red intellectual, moral, and emotional poison, the drumbeat of ideas, concepts, world view all intended to enslave everyone and their children forever. Like Orwell had O'Brien telling Winston Smith, "The future is a boot standing on the human face", or words to that effect. And nobody cared. Or even noticed. Living in a dream world.

Anyway, a very disturbing realization. Still horrible. A heck of a lot of very good guys were maimed or died.

I feel like that a lot of times too. I'm watching my Country be destroyed from within.

Perhaps we are the ones in a dream world. Hoping America would wake up, find it's roots again, take back our freedom. Maybe we're just a bunch of old coots dreaming of what could have been. It's been my belief for some time that we are so far gone there is no turning back, no chance of recovery.

I have a little world I'm trying to maintain in a big world trying to destroy me. From sea to shining sea. When the time comes, if it comes, for taking back our country from our own government and from foreign governments (U.N.) I just hope there are enough right minded folks around to do the job.

(((Hug))) A great big hug to you dear Iris7.
