OK this is my last post on this thread. My fifth great grandfather fought in the American Revolution to free this great country from oppression. My other great grandfathers struggled through some very hard times and the Great Depression and worked hard to make this country great. I will work with every ounce of my strength and my vote to keep America the greatest country in the world. There have always been setbacks but America prevailed. I served my country’s military for 26 years and went to some of the worst shit holes on Earth. I will stay here and fight to my death if need be to defend this Republic. Be positive and believe that God will be with us and I hope you will stay and fight with us.
How about coming back to the Lord in an individual love relationship that doesn’t depend on whether the country goes to hell or not. Enough people doing that, and the country will be spiritually buoyed back up.
“...There have always been setbacks but America prevailed....”
We will again. Count on it. By any means necessary.
“...I will stay here and fight to my death if need be ....”
And you won’t be alone, brother.
One Team, One Fight.
I’m not going anywhere. I admire the sacrifice your family has made. I have family members who served honorably as well. I wouldn’t do anything to betray them.
I’ll still be here. I’ll still be speaking out against bad policy.
The problem is, our relatives didn’t fight in foreign or domestic wars, where our government fought against them. They didn’t go off to fight on foreign soil, and watch their nation destroyed at home.
That is what our men today are facing. They go off to where-ever overseas, and come back to 30 million illegal immigrants that have just been gifted the keys to the kingdom.
Their children attend schools that have been taken over by foreign nationals.
Those foreign nationals will be voting Democrat. They will ensure the Left gains control and keeps it.
For decades I have wished that the Republican party would address Hispanics in Californa on bedrock family values. I wish they would approach them on abortion and other issues where we agree stridently. Sadly the party blows opportunity after opportunity, thinking an immigration fix is going to suffice.
Now the Democrats have aced them out there. Rather than fight it, I think they’ll simple allow it not to make waves. And perhaps I’m wrong. We’ll see.
This party has needed to approach things differently. They won’t.
If you lived in California and had witnessed what I have, you would be down as well.
The Republican party in my state is dead. And it’s dead because the party hasn’t lifted a finger since Reagan to do anything productive here.
Our decent candidates are abandoned even though they are solid and very close. The Democrats bring out national figures to support their candidates. The Republican party doesn’t show up unless it’s a fundraiser, and then they leave and spend the money in other states.
I think you’re seeing that back East now too. They will not support Conservatives. They will only support RINOs.
We could turn things around with a body that was willing to work with us. I do not see that body today.
Look, I know you see this as surrender. It makes no difference. What I am addressing is reality here.
I’m not sure what good it does to just make happy talk.
Boehner, McConnell, other well knowns in Congress knew what Obama was going to yesterday. They didn’t prepare any action to be announced the next day.
You would have. I would have. Almost everyone on this forum would have. We would have called every important Republican Governor, Congressman, and Senator, and devised a massive response to Obama craven actions.
Our leaders did nothing.
You are not my enemy. I harbor no ill will towards you. We are all angry at what is taking place.
Take care.
