TOO MANY DO NOT REALISE OR CARE TO SEE
Today I sat and worked with my son on his American Government and History assignments. I read things I have not in a very long time. The very things that make America great and sadly the things we seem unable to stand for now.
Too Many Do Not Realise or even care to see what it is America is all about. They want to change this land and make it something it has never been. The securing and spreading of democracy was the whole of the plan from the beginning. We started as a nation escaping dictatorship and royal controls. We knew then it was a fight and a daily war, that life took hard work and that, In the words of Thomas Jefferson without sacrifice of "lives, fortunes, and honor" there could be no freedom. Why do we now think it is any different and why do we not see spreading democracy as the only means of preserving it? If and this is a big "if" life now is harder and more complicated than it was in the time of our forefathers, do we think the way will be or should be so much easier. How in the world do we expect to survive as a democracy if we do not spread the truth by fighting with a vengence for that which makes us free. I am deeply concerned witht he basically lazy, subordinant, "peace can save the world" attitude so many now portray. What hits me even harder is the fact that many of those that cry "peace peace peace" are the very people that in their own homes are unable to create it. If you can not create peace in your own home without rules and regulations then how can you expect it to develope in a world of chaos such as the Middle East without the rules, regulations, and reeducation of the masses. If they are to have nuclear weapons theyn they need education first and yet we are unwilling to stay the time needed to do exactly that. In my opinion - we are asking for trouble if we do not stay the fight and teach the ways of democracy to those that have no conception of such, then again maybe we as a country are as much cowards as the French, it does seem that is the path we are on.
