      history, something said or done so long ago that still applies today. hopefully our newly elected and future leaders will take history into account to lead forward and not destroy what many have fought to leave them.

      What a great image. This country was founded by individuals with the fortitude to create their own destiny. I hope we haven't lost our way. We need to be reminded what made this country so great (it wasn't government).

      Globamamania will blow up. When it does, there will be a lot of disappointed people.

      Indeed! Our Founding Fathers were suspicous of big government for many good reasons. But when you have to fight to earn your freedom, the lessons regarding how precious it is sink in deep. Unfortunately, far too many in our nation take our freedoms for granted. Now we are willing to hand them over to any politician that promises to "give" us something for what appears to be nothing. Sad... but... not totally irreversable... ;)

      Thank you for the great words of wisdom. It is true and very sad that so many are so blind. Blind following of blind leaders inevitably becomes a massive meltdown of our once great country.

      thats dead-on !
      The Founding Fathers hoped for a Nation that would do as it did for the 1st 125 years...then it steadly went to schitt due to "ULTRA" liberal & Concervitave thoughts & actions.
      THE CONSTITUION is our guide & its meaning , standards , goals & limits are clear & unbending yet flexiable enough for individuality to shimmer like the crowning jewel of true freedom...it not to be twisted & bent all ta'hell to the left or right.

      Sad to say the current Admin. is ultra way not evin close to being pro-America nor pro-freedoms...they ARE NOT WHAT THE FOUNDING FATHERS HOPED FOR!!!!!!!
      (But in fact they are exactly what they feared , glad they were thinking men & knew this might happen so they put Freedoms on our speech & if needed that 2ond amen. is in there for when its time to refresh that for witch it stands...)
