We’ve lost respect and honor

While the world slept, in walked liberalism. At first you think, “I guess this isn’t so bad,” and 30 years go by and suddenly the not so bad is added to, and it’s permanent. Our grandparents are the only ones that remember what should be. Now you have a world so changed that grandparents can no longer babysit their own grandkids or great grandkids.

Discipline went away 50 years ago, respect went away 50 years ago. Honor, achievement, marriage and sacrifices are just meaningless words.

In Europe it’s too late. Their demise began with fascism, to communism, to socialism. Too many foreigners have settled in, some are even in the governments. America, it’s not too late to save our heritage. We are the only superpower left. We are the only nation that has given so much to so many for so little. We can still save ourselves and stamp out that which is changing us to reflect values which most Americans don’t believe in.

God save America.
