United We Stand, Divided We Fall.


United We Stand, Divided We Fall - John Dickinson 1768

 Those words used to mean something to all Americans.  Our forefathers understood the importance of this philosophy.  We still understood the importance of this as late as the 21st Century.  September 11, 2001, a tragic day in America.  The ones of us who are old enough to remember that day remember exactly where we were when we got the news.  We also remember the impact.  Immediately after 9/11 flag sales skyrocketed.  We raised our flags high and proudly.  We were ready to come together and fight.  Nothing else mattered.  Not political affiliation, not race, not financial status, nothing.  We truly were #AmericaFirst.  When exactly did being Americans and wanting to take care of America first become a bad thing to some?  How could it possibly become a bad thing?  Who or what changed the way some Americans think?  At what point did we become more concerned with other nations than our own?  I pray to God that it doesn't take another 9/11 to bring us together again.  We are One Nation Under God.  We have people in America trying to turn that into a bad thing.  Using labels like Nazis and Nationalists.  A Nazi is a member of the National Socialist German Workers' Party.   A Nationalist is simply a person who advocates political independence for a country.  If we have to have tragedies like 9/11 to bring us together as a nation then we are doomed.  We'll truly destroy ourselves from the inside.  I weep for America if we can't get ourselves back into the proper mindset.  We are one nation and we are one people.  We are citizens of the greatest country in the world.  We also have the power to crumble it to the ground if we stay on this path of division.  Take a knee and pray for America.  That's the best first step that I can think of.

“America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves.” -- Abraham Lincoln

Illegal Children of Illegal Parents

         I haven't written in this blog for a long time but I feel it's time because people are losing their minds.  I'd like to start with one very important question: What is your solution of what to do with the children?       The options are very limited.  The parents have broken the law and are detained.  Logically, what choices does that leave us with for the children?  Do we send them home with no parents or maybe to live with relatives in their country?  We are feeding them, housing them, and providing people to watch over them.  This is all being done with the taxpayer money of Americans and it's not even being done for Americans.  I would think people would be grateful.  The parents broke the law and got in trouble.  What happens to American kids when this happens?  They are either taken in by relatives or they become a ward of the state.  How is this different?  They ar...

Charlottesville, VA

The racist attacks in Charlottesville, Virginia today have sparked an onslaught of arguments on social media.  When I was growing up in the 70's and 80's we were past racism like this.  We had moved on from the hate of the 50's and 60's when the KKK and Black Panthers were at their peak.  Now, here we go again.  This storm started to stir again 4 or 5 years ago.  This time with white supremacists and Black Lives Matter.  Why?  Because people started being offended by everything.  Today's protests started because some local governments are trying to destroy American heritage and memorial monuments.  I don't mean to sound like an old grandpa but these things didn't happen when I was younger.  We didn't agree with everything that happened in American history but it was still history and was to be preserved.  I'm a southern boy and proud of my heritage.  Contrary to popular belief, it wasn't the south that was racist, it was democ...
