I get the feeling that being patriotic these days, is something for us “older farts”. Or only for the few months following a tragedy, like the sad day of 9-11.
It seems in the modern mass media/population of America today.
The cool thing, is to besmirch her, tear her down, and point only at the dark days of our short history. These days many just want a day off of work, a BBQ and a few beers, and fireworks for the 4th of July. They don’t want/care to know the history, of this great country’s founding’s.
But, this grand country was founded by a few God fearing men and women. Who gave their all, spirit, blood, sweat, tears and lives.
To give us a piece of paper called, The Constitution of the United States of America.
These brave people wanted nothing more, than basic FREEDOMS.
That they did/could NOT, have in their home countries.
Related to family values, freedom OF Religion, freedom of speech/travel, keeping what you rightly labored for. And formed a limited government, that was not controlled by a king. But by officials who are elected, by the people for the people.
They did this with, what us country folks call: God, guns and guts!
This country in the past, has been called a big melting pot. Due to good folks immigrating from all over the world, and becoming Americans.
They bettered themselves, their families and communities. They LEARNED to speak English, as a national language. They worked for what they had. (no free lunch) They had many hardships of disease, dying of famine, thirst, starvation. They banded together, and explored this vast land, from sea to shinning sea.
And built churches, communities, city’s, farms, ranches, towns, roads, rail roads, and canals along the way. Thus, connecting all these together.
And making one country, that we proudly call AMERICA!
Remember this: You do NOT see a mass exodus, of folks running AWAY from this great country, but flocking TO it.
Why is that?
Why does EVERY new country that starts up.
Place their FAITH, in OUR type of Constitutional government?
Because it works!
I will get off my high horse, before I really get into some deep doo doo!
But, I guarantee you this.
I will always defend, stand tall, & proud, because I am an American!
For with the grace & providence of God.
Our forefathers had the strength and courage, to give us the freedoms we all have today. I will continue to fight for our God given rights, flag and country. As I still think she is worth dying for, until my last breath.
As a Patriot, I pledge allegiance to the American flag.
When that pisses off Liberals, that’s just too bad!
Take care, be safe.
GOD BLESS AMERICA
God Bless our soldiers, and our citizens.
