FOOD FOR THOUGHT

Post by larglo »

Hi all,

I did not write this,,,,I wish I had. But it does reflect what I think and believe about what is happening in/to our country today.
I found this writing in a comment section on the Internet. I suppose there are some that won't believe in these words. But I suggest they read them very closely as it may be to late if they suddenly find out, that they really ARE.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

(1) Remember…Liberal/Marxist/Socialists must “divide and conquer” to attain their goals. America is now more divided than ever. That is part of the plan. More Americans are now dependent on the government. That is part of the plan. More Americans now work for the government. That is part of the plan. More Americans doubt the Exceptionalism of the USA, our system, our constitution. That is part of the plan.
(2) Liberals want to redefine “Conservative Christian;”
(3) Liberals want to redefine “Freedom of Religion;”
(4) Liberals want to redefine “Separation of Church & State;”
(5) Obama and other Liberal/Marxist/Socialists politicians will accept their own personal defeat if it advances their cause. Many of them still end up in powerful positions within the administration anyway.
(6) Why should America want to be more like Africa? We shouldn‘t.;
(7) Must America be destroyed in order for the one world system to succeed?;
(8) Is it only whites who can be “Racist?”;
(9) Are Americans afraid to fight for the preservation of our systems and foundation?;
(10) Tax-Payer funded Muslim schools in America;
Words etched into the Jefferson Memorial convey powerful truths: "God who gave us life gave us liberty. Can the liberties of a nation be secure when we have removed a conviction that these liberties are the gift of God? Indeed I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just, that his justice cannot sleep forever..."

----------------------------------------------------------------------

This is AMERICA, not Mexico, Japan, China, France, are any other country. I do not want other cultures to take over in this country. we have our own culture, and MUST protect it at all costs. Yes, things always change,,,but to loose one's country because some think we should open our borders, change our beliefs, to appease just a few people, loose OUR identity to what we are as a people, that so many others have died to keep it,,, AMERICA, I for one, just can't tolerate.

Yes, it seems that it's against the law now for a person, town, city, state and country, to protect it's self, from people who break the law for fear of offending them.

Another judge has now ruled that a person must now denounce their religion in order to stay in collage. It won't be long till the courts and the libs say they want open sex on our street corners, hell, it may offend them, to tell them it's indecent!

I have a brother that told me we may have another revolution in this country, and I scoffed at him. I'm beginning to think he's absolutely right!

In a few more years, this country won't be worth living in, cause it won't be the same USA as it was. And like my son, he's going to Australia and If I had the money, I'd be moving my whole family there!
Dam, I'm mad!

its madness and maddening and it seems as if no one is listening. People are so wrapped up in their lives they let their guard down and their vigilance wanes. All in the name of maintaining the status quo.

Largo, I'm not from the States so I won't pretend to know exactly what you're feeling or all the issues at stake, but us nieghbours to your north are pretty much going through the same thing. I will say this though, don't leave her when she seems to need you the most. I'm sure you're not the only one who feels this way. Make your voices heard. After all, that's how the "few" have gotten thier way and brought about the changes you're talking about.
She was a 1969 36 ft wooden beauty with big blue 440s that we'll miss forever.

Last time I looked at my history book the only true Americans were here when the rest of us immigrants landed on the shore and started to wipe them off the face of the earth. Our culture is made up of all of us here in the country, including Muslims, Christians, Jews, Hindus, even non-believers. We're black, white, red, yellow and brown. Not too many years ago my ancestors were told that dogs and Irish were not allowed in certain places. Our country continues to survive and be a beacon for justice and freedom because we are INCLUSIVE. When you're in a foxhole like I was in 1969-1970 you don't give a rat's ass who is in there with you. Larry, seriously, get out of town and go visit a few places around this country. You may be surprised how great a place it still is.

Randy,

I spent a year in VN myself in 66, I'm also a 60% disabled vet, So I know a little about that. As far as getting out, I've been to South America, Panama, France, Germany, VN, Taiwan China, Okinawa, Spain. Guam, Azores, Hawaii (when it wasn't a state) Mexico, Canada, and maybe a couple of places I can't remember.
So,,,I've been there and done that. I'm not saying, I dislike this country, only what it is becoming, and after the people in our government distroy it, there's not much reason to stay in it. Getting it back will be almost impossible as I'm sure an election will be a thing of the past. We will be controlled by big government, big unions, and people like George Sores will be in charge.

Don't give up on this country. You served it and protected it, even back in 1966 when Johnson was running things and got us mired in VN. Things change and move forward whether we want them to or not. Some of the things we're going through now are part of that change. The one sure thing you can rely on is that we change administrations at least every 4 years, and 8 at the most. But in the meantime all the other politicians and lobbyists are employed for life, making sure that things still run as always -in THEIR best interests - not ours.

That big government that you distrust is the same one that came to your aid as a disabled vet. Do you thing big business would give a rat's ass about your service to our country?

Our democracy will only be as strong as we want it to be - we the citizens, and that's why we still vote. It's easy to criticize one man like Obama, but it's all of US who need to start talking and reaching middle ground, or we'll just be lobbing crap back and forth at each other and getting nowhere. It's ironic that everything you now feel about Obama and where the country is heading is how I felt during "W" and Cheney's years.

To paraphrase one of our founding fathers, I don't agree with what you say, but I'll defend your right to say it.

________________________________________________

No, it was not the same big government of today and the socialist's views of our present day government (obama), that came to my aid as a disabled vet back then. W, was not the sharpest knife in the drawer, but he did not add to our national debt, in the amount from our first president, George Washington, up to the present day, combined, he did not apologize, or bow to all the communist countries, he did betray Israel, and on and on.

No, I do not think big business gives a rats ass about me, but I think they care more than obama does.

It is true that democrats got us mired down into the VN war, one the did not even try to win at the great cost of American lives, and lost it. The dems had it so screwed up that Nixon had to stop it in the best way he could.

On the other hand W went into Iraq and much to the the dems displeasure (remember Ried,,,,,the war is lost) got the war WON. Leaving Afghanistan to the dems, and the war on terror, looks like we may not be doing so well. He has already given the enemy our withdrawal date, giving the impression, he doesn't intend to win, so looks like some more lives lost in vain, just like Nam. Anyone who would send a man to fight without the intention to win, should be hung.
