Some days are like that – where are the young people and the American Dream. The American Dream is something we all had on our minds and the “sky was the limit.” It seems all we hear is – it is a nightmare trying to build a life these days. What happened was we allowed all of this to sneak into the picture show and now we see the re-run every day on TV with the bad guys on all stations.

So, what do we do – vote these Democrats out of office who don’t know how to run anything much les their mouths.

It’s a mess for sure.

The change the Democrats were talking about was – they would change all of the good things and steal even the change in your pockets.

Words Have Meaning

NOSTALGIC THIS MORNING…

Sep18by roybeaird

I guess that is a part of the aging process in life, but I find that more and more, I am turning back the clock in my mind, drawing pleasantries from my memory banks, and reflecting on them.  In our politically correct world with the thought police, food police, belief police, and all the other activist groups seeking to control and direct our lives, thoughts, and actions, I REMEMBER WHEN…

• I remember when the government did not micromanage or seek to micromanage every facet of our lives.  We were not so over-regulated that we almost have to have a permit or license to breathe the air God provided free of charge.  We live in a time when if you offend some liberal leftist activist group, you are in danger of not only being castigated but could face some type of trumped-up criminal charge.
• I remember when being identified as Illegal was not a badge of honor, and if you were in this country illegally, you would be deported. Still, today, if you are here Illegally, you are almost honored, and in the words of Jeb Bush, you committed an ‘act of love.’  

To the Democrats, you are ‘guaranteed votes.’  To some unscrupulous, you are potentially ‘cheap labor.’  Sorry, no matter what the business, I do not support anyone hiring ILLEGALS.  If they are here illegally, they have committed a crime, violated our laws and constitution, and have no right to be here. 

There is a process for coming here, and while it needs to be overhauled to make it easier for the qualified people with skill sets needed in America to come but, to slap America and Americans in the face and come Illegally should never be ignored.

• I remember when people could leave their doors unlocked and not fear that someone would steal everything or enter to commit mayhem.  Today, even in the rural setting I grew up in, that is a NO-NO!  We almost have to have bars on our doors and windows today and to fail to have a security system, guard dogs, and be armed is almost like hanging out an engraved invitation for someone to break in.
• I remember when believing in God and identifying yourself as a Christian was not frowned upon.  I remember when being identified as one who respects the constitution and expected people to ‘earn’what they got was not considered extreme, hostage taking, domestic terrorism, intolerance, bigotry, and hatred. 
• I remember when America was still viewed as a Constitutional Republic, there was still a separation of powers in the three branches of the federal government, our military was vital, keeping us safe, the authority of parents was still respected, gasoline was affordable, our service personnel honored and respected, and if you came to America, you were expected to learn the language, our laws, and assimilate.  You were free to maintain your ethnicity and beliefs, and in your home, if you chose to speak your native tongue, you were allowed and even encouraged to do so, but in public, ENGLISH was expected. 

Today, we have a Politically Correct (PC) World in which Americans are expected to change to accommodate any and all others rather than have them assimilate.  To express belief in the Constitution, the Rule of Law, the Bible, Traditional Family, and America is to be considered intolerant, bigoted, and unacceptable, at least to the powers that be. 

I am nostalgic and long for a return to AMERICA, the beautiful the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave, the America I remember, the America the founders gave us, and the America our heroes fought and died for!

God bless America, and God bless you!

We don’t have to put up with this, you know!
