“Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children’s children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.”
– – President Ronald Reagan
I used to get to be around the Man A lot when in the Corps . A True American.
It is very sad to be living during the death throes of a once very great republic. Reagan was out last good president. Since then, it’s been down hill at an increasing pace. I thought we could slow the process down with Trump as president. He just can’t keep his mouth shut! I’m afraid this latest with his comments about women is the last. Of course no one takes notice that Bill Clinton raped and seduced his way from Arkansas and thru the White House while his wife destroyed the victims to cover up Bill’s transgressions.
Well put Oren.I will still vote for Trump. Where was Hillary at 3:45 am when the calls came for help from
Benghazi … why didnt she answer her phone and why wasnt there someone else in her dept.?? her to accept the call??? Lightning
every 70 – 80 years we must fight for our freedom.. The fighters remember, and the next generation forgets and tries to legislate or give it away.. Something for nothing or at the expense of everyone else is always attractive to a certain subset of the population. It’s the worst kind of entitlement to think you are more deserving than someone else. That is what ease produces though.. entitlement. We become soft.
Eventually sheepdogs emerge to drive and lead the charge.. and save us from ourselves.
When we forget who made us we will lose .. or perhaps that is a way to make us remember who made us. In times of hardship there is a growth and a spiritual awakening .. always. Unfortunately sacrifice is always necessary It is the only thing that teaches the values necessary because it is all we have to give.
The clowns running for office have nothing to do with that.. they are just actors.. bad actors.
We are being tested. It’s that simple. All we can do it our very best and hope we are not found wanting.
