Native American Indians do this now, in allegory, telling the story of thier once great nation and heitage to thier young. <br />As I helped bury my Brother in law today, who was in my graduating high school class in 1972, I have been reflecting on our conversations over our past years. We often wondered how the political landscape shifted way to the left and how stupid and gullible the American people are. We would watch O'Reilly and both get rilled and give our arm chair comments. I will miss him and our chats. Life is short. I am constanlty kicking myself in the ass for not knowing learning more about our government when I was younger. But "life" chews up a lot if time. And I wated a lot of time. I am playing catch up now so that if we lose the Constitution in my lifetime, I will be able to tell my grandson of our once great nation.

Patrick Henry, Nathan Hale, Crispus Attucks, Thomas Paine, Ethan Allen and John Parker are men who no longer exist. Their like is no longer being produced. We have carpet baggers leading us now and that won't change because the people of America have changed. We are nearly outnumbered by those who live in America but have no use for the values you and I share.<br /><br />I want to believe there are enough of us left to turn back the clock, but I fear it is already too late. All that may be left to do is go out with a bang when the sparks start to fly. That won't be too long away I fear.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5183651835847025449.post-35938960311067496372013-02-02T22:52:11.790-06:002013-02-02T22:52:11.790-06:00That's pretty much the point I'm at as wel...That's pretty much the point I'm at as well. The symbol has been stolen to mean the opposite of what it originally meant. I want to salute the flag and all that for what it used to mean, but as the abuses pile up, I'm having a harder and harder time doing so, because of what it has come to represent.<br /><br />I wonder, at what point did colonists in America start viewing the British flag in the same way? It had to have happened way before 1776.<br /><br />WIIIAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
