What has happened to America?

This is just my rant for today. 
Ya know. In the 60s and 70s we as Americans could let the kids play in the neighborhood. We could walk down the street with our 22 rifles to the woods to go plinkin, We were safe. We didn't even ever think America would become so over run by Liberal Ideology that the people have no morals, decency or common sense as it has become today. We aren't safe anymore, there is a constant threat of Nut Jobs takin our kids, killing one another and or a terrorist that lived down the street blowing up someone or running in and mass shooting folks. We were at peace. Our Nation flourished, kids had sense enough to not need warning signs on everything. We were good to one another. Our neighbors looked over the kids and our homes. Today, with this insane open border we now have millions of illegals and people that want to change us or kill us. The Democrats (Liberals) have taken the once Great Safe America away and turned it into an melting pot of garbage. I can remember very well walking down the road in an upper class neighborhood with my rifle headin to the woods to go shooting. That isn't even possible today. I would be taken out by the police SWAT team. Life in America as I remember it is gone. Can it come back? I really doubt it. As long as we fill the Nation with people that want it THEIR way, it's just gonna get worse. The Moral decay is rampant. God, Please Bless America Once Again.

You want PC, Ok let's go full blown Politically Correct.

Mr. Goodwin a friend on mine on FaceBook posted this letter to the Chicago Tribune. I had to post it here.

ll HEROS!!!
I think all sports fans will get a kick out of this letter written to the Chicago Tribune.... Enjoy !
No matter which side you are on in the matter of renaming the Washing Redskins, this is funny. This guy is hilarious.
Here is an e-mail sent to Clarence Page of the Chicago Tribune after an article he published concerning a name change for the Washington Redskins.
Dear Mr. Page: I agree with our Native American population. I am highly insulted by the racially charged name of the Washington Redskins. One might argue that to name a professional football team after Native Americans would exalt them as fine warriors, but nay, nay. We must be careful not to offend, and in the spirit of political correctness and courtesy, we must move forward.
Let's ditch the Kansas City Chiefs, the Atlanta Braves and the Cleveland Indians. If your shorts are in a wad because of the reference the name Redskins makes to skin color, then we need to get rid of the Cleveland Browns.
The Carolina Panthers obviously were named to keep the memory of militant Blacks from the 60's alive. Gone. It's offensive to us white folk.
The New York Yankees offend the Southern population. Do you see a team named for the Confederacy? No! There is no room for any reference to that tragic war that cost this country so many young men's lives.
I am also offended by the blatant references to the Catholic religion among our sports team names. Totally inappropriate to have the New Orleans Saints, the Los Angeles Angels or the San Diego Padres.
Then there are the team names that glorify criminals who raped and pillaged. We are talking about the horrible Oakland Raiders, the Minnesota Vikings, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Pittsburgh Pirates!
Now, let us address those teams that clearly send the wrong message to our children. The San Diego Chargers promote irresponsible fighting or even spending habits. Wrong message to our children.
The New York Giants and the San Francisco Giants promote obesity, a growing childhood epidemic. Wrong message to our children.
The Cincinnati Reds promote downers/barbiturates. Wrong message to our children.
The Milwaukee Brewers. Well that goes without saying. Wrong message to our children.
So, there you go. We need to support any legislation that comes out to rectify this travesty, because the government will likely become involved with this issue, as they should. Just the kind of thing the do-nothing Congress loves..
As a die hard Oregon State fan, my wife and I, with all of this in mind, suggest it might also make some sense to change the name of the Oregon State women's athletic teams to something other than "the Beavers (especially when they play Southern California . Do we really want the Trojans sticking it to the Beavers???)
I always love your articles and I generally agree with them. As for the Redskins name I would suggest they change the name to the "Foreskins" to better represent their community, paying tribute to the dick heads in Congress.

Freedom

It is neither free nor is it obligated to anyone.

Freedom is elusive, yet it has existed since the dawn of man.

People have fought for it, died to preserve it, yet many have declared war to steal it from others.

Freedom is not free.

Service is the cornerstone of freedom.

Service is what keeps a country free, and its citizens motivated. Without service, freedom cannot prevail.

This age old paradox of freedom and service is, in fact, one of the great mysteries of God. You cannot have one without the other.

Freedom without service is dependency. Service without freedom is slavery.

Our founding fathers understood this cycle of life between service and freedom so well that they made it the foundation for our constitution.

Every God given freedom written in our constitution must be ensured by our government. It is the Law.

In other words, our government exists to serve the people.

Yet the government as the founding fathers envisioned it, is the people.

Therefore, we must serve. We must serve our country as though the enemy was crouching at our doorstep, with war dripping from their teeth as they prepare to conquer us and steal our freedom.

We must serve as though our own individual freedom depends on the safety and security of each and every fellow American.

Freedom, as our founding fathers envisioned it, stands in stark contrast to the desires of our modern day world and the majority of its leaders.

History has shown us that those who know not service, will also fail to understand freedom. They will find it mere nonsense.

This conflict between service and freedom also exists within many American citizens and politicians that want us to believe our survival and the success of this great nation depends on government handouts and regulations.

This Progressive Socialist ideology is rooted in dependency and has corrupted our two party political system which now casts aside self responsibility of the individual, and self governance by the people as it leads this country straight to servitude like sheep to the slaughterhouse.

In fact, our greatest national security threat is not Islamic terrorism, it is bad policy that resonates from incompetent, narcissistic politicians and lawyers steeped in Progressive Socialism.

We the People can change this tidal wave of dependency.

We, the People of the United States, must claim our citizenship, look past the politicians and race baiters, and back to the minds and actions of our founding fathers.

Only there will we rediscover our direction and the motivation that created this great and powerful country.

Any politician that tells you our constitution isn’t enough to make all people free is a liar.

Any court justice that tells you our constitution doesn’t fit today’s society and must conform, is a liar.

Any activist on the left or the right that tells you their way is the only right way, is a liar.

We the People are the 1st branch of government, where self governance unites all people.

We the People are responsible for looking out for each other’s freedoms and working our problems out before they get to the courts.

If our issues get to the court, We the People have failed.

When We the People stand united we are a force like no other on earth and the government exists to serve us.

When We the People are divided, we become individual slaves, waiting to be purchased by a master or controlled by an enemy.

We the People must not buy into these lies. There is no liberal or conservative, there is only effective or incompetent.

There are no longer race boundaries and poverty has no hold on you.

The perception that in order to have equal rights you must infringe on the liberty of others, is a lie.

Glass ceilings do not exist and your sexuality does not define who you are.

God loves everyone equally and gives freely to those that ask. Only He has the power to judge sin.

There is no ditch too deep for you to climb out of. There are no walls too high for you to scale.

You are an American.

And together We, are The United States of America.
