Agreed. I worked and lived in many countries. We have a middle class here in the US, something many countries do not. While I traveled to places like Egypt, Turkey & China, then Germany, France, Brazil, as mentioned, Australia, NZ & S. Korea, we are definitely the very best the world has to offer. Even our small towns are better off than many other places in the world. Our 'poor' people frequently are seen as wealthy, when compared to those who are 'poor' outside the US. We are many, made into one. I realize how blessed I am to have been born here to 1st generation immigrants who imparted those values of hard work, diligence and taking opportunities as they arise.

We live in the greatest system of governance in the history of mankind. Too bad people we entrust to run the shop keep trying to screw it up by practicing the seven deadly sins.

Let's also remember the words of Fanny Lou Hamer back in 1971:

"We're not free until we're all free..." https://academic.oup.com/mississippi-scholarship-online/book/29348/chapter-abstract/244099842?redirectedFrom=fulltext

"GOD BLESS AMERICA, LAND THAT I LOVE".

I wish ALL of you a Blessed 4th of JULY.

I believe in our republic for which it eternally stands. However, in this instance you’re partially wrong in my opinion when you say anyone who claims that a candidate will bring down the republic if elected should be ignored.

You can’t ignore them completely because some of their grievances have merit. We are dealing with a faction of politicians who have the singular goal of destroying the country, ripping up the constitution, installing themselves as dictators and turning us into a socialist society.

In the same manor I’m sure people in 1935 Germany thought when opposition said Hitler would bring about the end of the German republic, maybe they thought the same as you are saying now. “It can’t happen” the country is bigger than one man.

Point being while we can’t be all doom sayers and it’s very true that the republic is bigger than any one person. However, it doesn’t take a lot. Wouldn’t take a lot for that to be changed and wiped away. Look only as far as Covid to understand how quickly the first amendment can be suspended and your right to go to church or speak freely can be taken away with a stroke of a pen. In those cases the republic is only as good as its leaders. It’s right guaranteed so long as you have people in charge who respect them.

You can ignore me. You can just say “well that will never happen.” But I say this. If a dem or Biden wins this election either fairly or theft. The world will burn by 2027.

If the liberals win this election you will never see a democratically elected president ever again.

Nearly 250 years after the declaration , we are sitting in a new war of revolution. And we have a decision to make. Do we change course and push out the wokies who threaten that republic or do we stick to the status quo and change who we are as a nation. Get ready. Nov can’t come soon enough.

The German “republic” of mid 1930’s was an unstable mess less than two decades old, descended from a Kaiser ruled empire, in a massive depression, and still dealing with a the aftereffects of losing a war the likes of which our country has never faced.

The preservation of civic virtues and the ideals promulgated in the Declaration of Independence require persistent and unyielding teaching and enforcement by all who value liberty, freedom and justice. Being lax in their teaching and indifferent to their practice will harm our country by undermining it from within. Every citizen has a responsibility to preserve and protect and enforce them.

FDR was a democrat. Son supported him at inauguration. They did what they could to conceal his disability from polio. Didn't want the country (world) to think his polio would hamper his ability to do his job. Weakness instead of strength. Concealment and deception. Smoke and mirrors. It's what politics are about.

Yes but FDR’s mind was fine and he was an engaged, lucid President until near the end, 13 years after being inaugurated. Biden is in a rather dangerous state of infirmity and his people are obviously lying about it to this day. And the media’s role in covering this up and showing no curiosity or concern is disgraceful, particularly as we know a Republican could never get away with this.

God bless America anyway.
