From Ronald Reagan's farewell speech. He warned us of the loss of patriotism and its consequences. Apparently we did not heed that warning.
“Apparently we did not heed that warning.”
Apparently THEY did, NOT “we”.
God gave us Ronald Reagan so that we could prepare ourselves for Obama.
We miss you, Dutch.
We will never see his like again.
One of the most invigorating things about Reagan’s campaign in 1980 was not just the conservatism, but the seemingly ascendant return of patriotism, and the whole sort of can-do vibe of Reagan’s 1940s-WW2 era generation. Such a breath of fresh air after the depressing milieu of the impotent Carter/disco/Iran-hostage backdrop.
Would be nice to tap into that again. But America has become such a sick, twisted place that I truly can’t even conceive of feeling any patriotism again. The country has become so vomitously degenerate... awash in fag-marriage, dope, government dependancy, and a culture that is so putrid and poisonous that it boggles the mind. America in 1980 was weak and impotent. But America in 2014 has become cancerously evil.
As democracy is perfected, the office of president represents, more and more closely, the
inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach
their hearts desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.- H. L. Mencken (1880 1956)
For decades now, we’ve been intentionally flooded with tens of millions of illegals and 3rd world foreigners.
Divide the united...
What did anyone expect to happen?

Agreed. We have been so demoralized by American marxists that we no longer can tell the difference between good and evil and often confuse the two.
