Listening to the conservative pundits, the minions eat up their sermonizing about how bad it is in America. We are so blessed to be here!! We have so many freedoms and liberties other societies and cultures would enjoy... but don't/can't. Our children and grandchildren have more opportunity that we ever thought of having. What we enjoy as Americans is protected by the very best military in the World. Few countries have the opportunity to elect their representatives and leaders. Few countries would see the likes of Faux Noise telling us 24/7 how bad the "gubmint" is... without suffering severe consequences. Yet, they continue to bestow nothing but negativity on a government and Constitution that allows them to do so.
This is NOT a "bad time". Would one rather be living through the Civil War in the 1860's? Or, maybe you'd rather have lived through the Great Depression. As we were growing up, folks were building fallout shelters because they feared the Russians would be attacking at any time. The "Red, White, and Blue" has come though many hard times and continue to fly proudly over our Country. Thanks to the sacrifice of many, I enjoyed rounds of golf the past two days... am free to worship where and how I please... owe not one dime to anyone as our home, cars, etc. are all paid for... have children and grandchildren who are doing well in their family units. We live in a "good time" as far as I'm concerned!!!!!
