I agree that it's time to think of ourselves as Americans first. My ancestors were from Scotland, Ireland and Wales but they never thought of themselves as Scottish Americans, Irish Americans or Welsh Americans. They were Americans and proud to be so. Their heritage was important, but they felt blessed to be living in the land of the free and the home of the brave. The divisiveness of our our modern society was perpetrated by progressives for the purposes of angering us toward each other. Divide and Conquer! It's time "Americans" of all nationalities wise up to the fact that they have been and are being used for a lesser good and rise up against it.

I watched the interview with Dr. Carson on Sean Hannity's special program the other night and was blown away. This man was articulating everything my husband and I have been saying for more than four years - since Barack Obama appeared on our political radar. Why is Mr. Obama doing whatever he perceives is in his power to force American citizens to bend to his will. The answer lies in the book "Obama's America". As for the time and place of Mr. Carson's statements, I say what better time and place. The pulpits of the thirteen colonies were largely responsible for the American revolution. It's high time we used them again to take back our government. Oh, I forgot, the IRS would never allow that. Prayer breakfast it is.
Being a Boomer and being onto Obama's evil feats of legerdemain from the first, I'm hoping to live long enough to see this evildoer's agenda exposed and put paid to. Right now I'm in excellent health and do what I can to remain that way, but I fear some unknown heading my way like I never have before. But you're wrong about the Boomers embracing his reform. They finally figured out AARP has been lying to them all along and did not vote en masse for Obama in 2012.
The concept of the modern American farmer is so skewed that it's going to cause what is left of family farms to give up in favor of collective megafarms. The belief that there are really no small family farms left only huge farms that employ hundreds of workers is crazy. I heard someone say this very thing on Fox News one day. That there are no family farms anymore, only large farms with farm managers. What!!! We live in Texas but own farmland in Kansas. We have two families that farm our land. I can tell you that they are not getting paid to not farm. We grow wheat, milo and soybeans. The past couple years we have taken it on the chin as the result of the drought. Even with crop insurance, we are receiving little to sustain us.
Every time I look into the beautiful faces of my grandson (2) and granddaughter (almost 1) I see the faces of the millions of beautiful children who never got to see the light of day and fear for those yet to experience the same fate. That to me is the saddest thing of all. If a society is truly judged by the way it treats the least among them, we are in serious trouble. There will be no forgiveness for this.
Obama didn't really win. That's what's so scary about all this. Indications of voter fraud big time are showing up right and left. 100% to 150% voter participation in some precincts. 99% of the vote in many precincts going to Obama. Even in a third world dictatorship you don't see these numbers. And isn't it interesting that Romney didn't win one of the swing states when he was close or ahead in most? When our elections can be so skewed to favor one party, we are in worse trouble than we even thought. In short, a vote against the favored candidate is actually a non-vote. This has proven true when people's votes for Romney kept defaulting to Obama and then when the Romney vote "stuck", they discovered it had not been counted.
Sounds a lot like the 1950's when I grew up. The Pledge and the Lord's Prayer were said each and every day in school. All the other things mentioned existed too. My grandparents lived in town and only used a drop latch on their screen door in the summer. Government offices were plain vanilla and the people that worked in them made a living if not much more - kind of like the workers in the private sector. Where did we go wrong? We got complacent. We began to stand for nothing - and fell for anything.
Yes, he is way off on that one. I worked for an oil company for many years and I can tell you that whenever the government was looking for a scapegoat for anything going on in the country, they went after the oil companies. The fact that they can make any money at all surprises me. And Bill may be good at history, but when it comes to economics, he hasn't a clue. Yeh, I'm ready for Laura to take over - permanently.
And I quote, “Here is how crazy this is. If you take a flight lesson, the feds get a heads up. But you can buy a machine gun and they don’t know.” I read somewhere that same day that not only were illegals still taking flight lessons, but it is illegals who own the flight schools where they are being trained. That reminded me of the re-issuing of a visa to one of the perpetrators of 9/11 after he was already dead from the attack. It's obvious to me the problem isn't a lack of rules and regulations as much as it is an over-bureaucratic government that is so bloated it can't manage the rules and regulations we already have. And Bill's been wrong about a lot of things lately. He's reacting from fear the same as liberals do.

And Miss Piggy and Kermit. I must say good-bye to all my beloved Muppets. They've become too intolerant and political for my liking.
