Our children have already been robbed of so much that can never be replaced, but thanks be to God, enough parents are standing up, speaking out, simply more or less beating back. The men and women who stepped forth in 1941,had children and grandchildren who are br@ve and hopeful as were
the families that brought them up. We may not see the change because we’ll be gone but we can live out our last days with hope because of these young people and in spite of Biden’s i*****l i*******ts from every country on this planet. It isn’t his plan because he’s not bright enough to put together such a dumb plan but all those in every country who have studied Lenin can do it. Let’s just see that our people grow up the right way.

Have missed your posts, this one as all are is on target. I also, now that I'm older and have been dealing with health issues. I fear for the young. I know my years in service meant something then. Now all I have is my voice and v**e. I can still teach my grand and great-grandchildren to love God and America. Try to give them the sk**ls they will need in this new world. Wish things were different, but have to face the enemy that is.


Right there with you, sadly!!!

I know the feeling when you say your years in Service meant something then. Now I feel like the 100 year old World War Two vet who broke down and wept when he said, "We did all that for THIS??" When I thibnk of so many of us who took our oath seriously and put our lives on the line to "protect and defend against all enemies, foreign and domestic" I have to admit that I also shed a tear or two. With him, for him and for all of us.

Of all the things that occurred because of the p*******c, the awakening of parents to the horror that is our uneducation system is is an overwhelmingly positive thing.


That no one can seem to do much about. Or little. The CDC adding the poison shot to the v*****e schedule for school attendance will (hopefully) cause more and more parents to pull their children out of public school. I have been talking to several people and attorneys about starting a class action lawsuit here in Illinois to NOT PAY the portion of property taxes that are allocated to education if public school has become a hostile/toxic environment for your child. Because it's good and fine to home school your kids, or put them in parochial school, but FUNDING the monster also needs to stop.

But when thinking about the whole nation today, there is a strangeness feeling, as if there is something wrong in the air, on the ground, or shaking under the ground. It is highly disturbing, out of the ordinary, even alarming, and most certainly unlike it was in past years. Sensitive noses can even detect the smell of fear in the wind, the unspoken reaction to others around us as if they were not the friendly people they used to be, not just the fear of the p******c we all have had, it is different, a feeling of isolation and uncertainty.

It should not be that way. We are being robbed somehow of our heritage, our patriotism, even love of our fellows. Why? What is happening to America that this miasma can be sensed almost every time we go out?

Polarization of our politics play a central role, as does the realization that half of our population is strongly hostile to the other half, even calling us terrorists! This other half is deliberately fostering the dissolution of our government, our economy, our well-being, and our valued customs, traditions and institutions, what's more, they are weakening our military and our police.

No wonder the land smells of fear and puzzlement that so many of our citizens seem to have suddenly discovered a wholly new way of thinking and acting, and an ideology to buttress it mentally. The ideology seems to center on Marxism, which is so far away from our normal American way of thinking and doing, that it is indeed making strangers of us all. It is as if they want it all, for nothing in return. No work, just handouts.

Then too, there have been some very odd events in the last years, in principle because of how the 2020 e******n turned out, never mind the further oddity of the e******n of an i***t in the place of a Doer, allowing hidden hands to call the shots. We went from plenty to scarcity, from knowing to dumbness, and so many other demoralizing situations that are unbelievable to think about. They are spending us into bankruptcy.

There has been no better nation in the world than the one I grew up in, with a Constitution and the right to change it, the freedoms and liberty we have had by the grace of God, and the generations of incomparable patriots that have defended us till now.

Soon, I will be gone, but I h**e to leave this nation in such dire straits, and the world too, obviously. But, there isn't much besides wielding the pen I could have done anyway. There is not time enough left for me to contemplate the needed bold actions in aid of our country. I trust that others will act with great courage and fortitude and rescue our country from the heathens, the savages at the gates, and the t*****rs in our midst.

That “Doer” is at the heart of a storm of illegal thinking and action. Our politicians reflect a shift towards narcissism reinforced by this very format. Power and the money it commands are the grassroots of f*****m. We are on our way there just like the N**is, who blamed their political opposition for everything they could not understand or control. Nut case fringe science ruled the day , and the internment camps.
Look in the mirror, accuse others of wrongdoing, and then say how you personally would change it for a better world. Then go out and do it.
Write here tomorrow with one idea and I will v**e with you. Right now I.have no one to v**e for.

Good for you. Thankfully I live in a red state/small town. Though you have to watch the books/curriculum the principle/other educational authorities are pretty much common sense educators.

=========================

Then v**e against the current group of c*******ts.

So, you want someone to post an idea for you? Beyond v****g against the current nonsense, why can't you come up with a rationale for moving forward yourself?

Of course, I cannot ignore the idea of setting forth some first principles for you to contemplate, but I will be very brief:
1. Freedom and Liberty are precious God-given rights for everyone.
2. All individuals are sovereign entities entitled to these rights.
3. Mankind has employed the essence of the Natural Law ever since the first city of any importance, Ur, was founded. Any government that violates the Natural Law, and its parallels, Natural Rights and Natural Duties, is totally unacceptable. (See the 5000-Year Leap by Skousen)
4. Governments are meant for one purpose: care and defense of its people and their means of livelihood, and it must be designed to be of, by, and for the people, in the famous words of Lincoln.
5. The American Constitution has been created and nourished for over 250 years that follows the above principles precisely. It must be defended!
6. There are Change Agents at work in the nation today that want to do away with the Constitution, and they are manning much of the current government by stealth and prevarication, wanting to revamp our entire way of life, not just the government itself. They go by many names, but mainly Democrat, or Liberal, or Progressive. If you believe in the fundamentals I mentioned above, you must v**e Republican all the way.
7. When 2024 comes around, you must v**e for the Republicans again. There is no other choice, regardless of any reservations about individuals (the Doers). Any other idea you might entertain is disastrous. We do not want Sock Puppets in power.

You are lucky! We have thought of moving, but it's just not doable, so now that I am mostly retired I'm going to be a thorn in the side of the lefty lunatics who have run Illinois into the ground for TOO LONG. Only 3 or 4 out of 300+ counties in Illinois v**e blue, but sadly Cook county contains Chicago and other densely populated suburbs, so basically dominates the state. Although, between the new "Safe-T law" that ends cash bail and most protections for everyone not a criminal, and horrendous "progressive" school policies, I'm hoping enough people pull their heads out to v**e red. We'll see. Either way, I feel strongly about a******n, particularly late term, and education, and know a lot of people. Also fairly good at public speaking. So we'll see.

And sadly, it isn't so much that the Republicans are great. Many are spineless/self-serving opportunists who cannot be depended on to stand for principle. But compared to the Democrat/C*******t Party...whose goal is to "fundamentally t***sform" this nation into a left-wing/socialist/c*******t/f*****t style government...with themselves having perpetual power/control, Republicans are almost statesmen. So as you say the only choice is v**e Republican...or turn over your individual liberties/freedom of speech, as well as all the other benefits our Constitution affords us. We can then weed out the RINOs...I seriously doubt the useful i***t faction of the Democrat/C*******t Party even realize they have been swallowing false narratives for decades...they just parrot what they are told
