Those who did not live through the Cold War know nothing of Communism. Our schools don't teach the history of Communism and the millions that were killed everywhere it was tried and failed. The schools also don't teach how great America is. Our children refuse to stand and pledge allegiance to the flag because of ignorance of our history. They embrace socialism which is the next step to Communism. I fear for the countries future, between a corrupt bloated Government and a dumbed down electorate America may very well be doomed.

It's sad. They treat our flag with the utmost of disrespect. The number of men and women who died to keep that flag up and flying high is a tragedy and some of these younger thugs are so disrespectful. Even the teachers get involved in the act. Not moving in a good direction for SOME from my standpoint. Obama brought on a lot of this disrespectful attitude....with law enforcement, with the military. Eight years of his CRAP has brought on a certain distaste toward patriotism for some. It's a sad state of affairs. Now on the bright side Trump is trying to bring that feeling of patriotism like we had right after 9/11. Remember everyone had flags flying in all different directions? Nine eleven was a very sad day, but it brought us ALL together. We were unified as a country. Did we have one day like that when Obama was president? Hell no! Many who fight for this S/M/C attitude would have a different take if they spent any amount of time in Viet Nam.
