Thanks Bevos. Looks like there is someone out there who gets as riled up as I do when it comes to contempt toward America. My husband was a very patriotic sailor and I loved him with all my heart. The only things I can do for him now, for he passed five years ago, is honor and protect, as much as I can, what was of importance to him. My avatar is part of that - he served aboard the Hazelwood, during the Cuban missile crisis. He was so proud of his service - almost as proud as I was, and will always be, proud of him. My grandparents also instilled in me my devotion to America. they were immigrants from Italy and literally kissed the ground when they were accepted here. Their devotion was such that our beautiful f**g flew for every national holiday.

So what has happened to us Bevos? What happened to our citizens post 9/11/01? It was inspirational to see f**gs flying everywhere, even from cars, with no hatred, no bias toward race or religion, and nothing but gratitude toward the police, firefighters, and first responders. All those courageous souls who entered those burning buildings TO HELP while the rest of us ran as fast as we could AWAY FROM that cloud of smoke, dust, and incinerated bodies. Both of my sons worked in N.Y. - my youngest, a mere block away from the WTC. He was chased by that ominous cloud and, though he returned to me, (Thank God), he was never the same. He said he would never forget the sound of the planes as they hit the towers, nor would he ever forget the sound of the people who, in desperation, jumped from the buildings.

So how did we get from that populace, UNITED in one cause, to this division in which we have become so angry with each other? When I consider what changed us, what brought us from American allegiance to alienation, I remember the words and actions of a man who expressed his disdain for our country and who mentioned, in word and deed, his fealty to an ideology contrary to ours!!! It was Obama, who spent TWENTY YEARS in a church whose Rev. spewed "God Damn America"; Obama who proclaimed: "I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction;" and who launched the fund raising for his P**********l campaign in the home of Bill Ayers, a leader of the Weatherman underground terrorism organization, who posed for the front page of Chicago Magazine STOMPING ON THE AMERICAN F**G. Ayers and his comrades bombed the Pentagon, the Capitol, and a Police Station, and then Ayers had the temerity to remark that he was sorry he COULDN'T DO MORE!! It was Obama who APOLOGIZED for America in foreign lands, in front of foreign leaders; who BOWED before foreign leaders; who stood with his hands clasped by his crotch while the National Anthem was being played, yet declared the MUSLIM call to prayer as "one of the prettiest sounds on earth." Obama recited it to me, with a "first rate (Arabic) accent" said Nicholas Kristof, during an interview which was published in the New York Times. The t***slation of the call to prayer:

"Allah is supreme, Allah is supreme, Allah is supreme, Allah is supreme. I witness that there is NO GOD BUT ALLAH." (How's that for a professed Christian?)

"There have been times where America has shown arrogance and been dismissive, even derisive." (April, 2009 - Strasbourg - in front of 2000 French and Germans)

"I also believe that all too often our government made decisions based on FEAR rather than foresight; that all too often our government TRIMMED FACTS AND EVIDENCE to fit ideological predispositions." (May 21, 2009 - Remarks by Obama on National Security)

Think about that last, vile Obama quote. Is there one other Head of State that would define their country as cowardly, corrupt and culpable? It's SHAMEFUL!!

Is there any wonder that the Pledge of Allegiance to America and her National Anthem has been so degraded and why we have to fight to restore it. How about some PRO-American protests for a change? If we can't walk in a protest demonstration, how about bombarding our representatives with correspondence demanding respect for our iconic symbols? We shouldn't just complain. Let Trump know that using the First Amendment to allow desecration of the f**g and disrespect of our pledge and National Anthem is ludicrous, even illegal. Referring to the Rees Lloyd ~ Oct 2, 2017 ~ News With Views - article which Don Dinsdale posted may just be what is needed. Trump's sincere allegiance may be our last chance.
