It used to be One Nation under God. I believe that is quickly slipping away.

This country was founded on the principle of liberty. Liberty is freedom tempered with civic responsibility and morality. The founding fathers always spoke of liberty not freedom. When I was a kid we took a citizenship class where the words rights and responsibilities were always used together. The civic responsibility and morality seem to be disappearing from the equation. And the "freedom" that so many kids espouse today is just satan's plan to drag this great promised land down.

I'm so grateful for the Liberty of this great nation and the warriors that have fought so valiantly to win and preserve it!

One thing that really bothers me.
We are or were a Republic. It is what our founding fathers gave us. A Republic is governed by the rule of law. Unlike a Democracy that is ruled by majority. "TO THE REPUBLIC FOR WHICH IT STANDS". It seem like since the last election, we are no longer a Republic. It was taken from us by fraud. I still believe the Constitution and rule of law will prevail, but for this to be true, there must be some jail sentences and executions soon.

Ask 100 people on the street if the US is a democratic or a Republic most will hesitate look up and of to the side then say democracy. If one out of 100 says Republic I'm surprised.

When you tell them republic they don't believe you tell you tell them to say the 2and line of the pledge. Then I ask them if they know the difference but don't wait for an answer because they wont and no one likes being embarrassed. They smile and we talk for a bit and they are a little more educated. (Sadly they most likely forget it in less than 15 min)

Despite all its flaws. Fighting among us all. We are and will be forever the best. As long as we continue to fight and question our elected officials. Our elected officials must remember they where elected. They can be removed as well. Fight. Fight. Fight. God Bless the United States of America.

I've wandered the old burial grounds in Boston. Some notable figures from the Revolutionary War are buried there. John Hancock, Sam Adams, Paul Revere, Crispus Attucks and others. You realize you're in one of the most leftist cities in the country and you wonder how that's possible. It breaks my heart.

Well said!!
