A positive message it was as if I was swept back 40 years and listening to Ronald Reagan.

Well produced

I'm surprised it's still there.

THAT was heartfelt

Tears of gratitude for being adopted by Uncle Sam! I had flashback to my citizenship ceremony. I was the only one in uniform. It started snowing in the South.
I am committed to never take this gift and privilege for granted. God bless the USA 🇺🇸

It's a shame so many Americans hate America.

The Republic is gasping for breath. My heart is breaking at how so many of its people want to destroy the United States.

Our heritage is being destroyed, our history mocked as racist white privilege and our values of freedom and liberty replaced by tyranny and communist control.

As painful as it may be...it is in alignment with historical context.

Interesting in that "Tolerance and Open-Mindedness" is both the pinnacle of maturity and the tipping point for decline.

Quote:
At some point an empire’s success induces complacency, arrogance, corruption and other manifestations of decay, as the comforts of civilised society give rise to expectations by the middle classes that the status quo will be maintained. The transformation of an empire from ‘barbarian’ to ‘civilised’ is now complete, and over time it will become ripe for domination by another aspirant. In the early stages of overextension, the cost to the economy of running an empire is no longer compensated for by revenue. The empire then begins to increase its debt burden, preventing a rise in military expenditure precisely at a time when it is most threatened by new challenges.
But most sheeple have the attention span of a chicken....

That is what is so inspiring about America! The chance to lift yourself up, the freedoms and Liberties we enjoy and the incredible synergy when we do come together. I also saw this today and it is important to realize...
