Brother nothing is just handed to you, it was entrusted to me to preserve and protect not to use for personal gain. Just like Americs, it was left to the people to protect not to use for personal gain. That is hard work.
You said you didn't need money in a bank to secure your retirement because you have land. Now you're saying the land is not for personal gain. Your story isn't adding up.

They were given nothing but an opportunity and freedom to work hard for what they accumulated and preserved. My ancestors accumulated what has been entrusted to me to protected and preserve and pass on to my decendants.
Oh, excuse me, it wasn't "handed" to you, it was "entrusted" to you. Yeah, that makes all the difference in the world. LOL

Like the free ride your getting on the backs of your ancestors?

Americans have been fighting to protect and preserve the freedoms and rights of its citizens since the birth of our great country.
And who have they been fighting? Other Americans. All threats to American freedom have in fact come from Americans themselves, there have been no exceptions to that pattern since the birth of our ever-conflicted nation.

The greatest and strongest counntry ever in the world was the Roman empire but it did not fail from an invading army it failed from within by greedy crooked politicians. Today our precious America is faced by the same forces of evil and corruption the Demon-crat swamp dwellers.
The Roman Empire was far from the strongest country ever in the world. It's just the classic example of an empire as taught by the the Christian perspective on world history. But I understand your point, indeed it was internal forces that brought Rome down.
There's actually been a lot of analysis on the parallels between the fall of Pax-Romano and the current state of of Pax-Americana. One of the patterns that seems quite clear is the disconnect from reality that governments and society alike indulges in. This is exactly what I see in Trump and his supporters, a blatant disconnect from reality.

We have a President with backbone that is fighting to preserve America and what it stands for. You may not like his style or ways but a fight for survival has no rules, it is fight or die.
Yeah, none of that is true. Trump has no backbone, he's too wishy-washy and hiding that behind his "keeping people guessing" act is only going to fool people for so long. He caters to people who are loyal to him and he doesn't even try to represent the rest of America, which is about 70% of us.
No, I don't like his style. He's a 2-bit slime-ball. And I would understand making exceptions for that if he was in fact fighting for America but he's not... He's bullshitting America. So I don't see any reason to respect him.
And stop being such a drama queen, we are NOT in a fight or die situation. We have some massive problems to solve but if we act like adults instead of chickens without heads we might have a chance.
