JiminSTL Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 May I say this, and then go to bed? It is only SUFFICIENTLY SHARED VALUES among a sufficient number of people that make a nation. Diminish the values, diminish the number, and diminish the shared community of people, and you reduce/remove the essence of nationhood. Our founding fathers had it so right: only an educated and moral people would be able to sustain our representative form of government. In fact, they were the only "worthy" ones. It pains me so greatly that even the LAST BASTIONS of our sense of honor and integrity and faith and duty--our military armed forces--have been so politicized that their calling is promotion within politicized ranks and system, that "American" conveys so little of what it used to mean. I say that with a father who was a 1938 graduate of the USNA (fought 2 wars), I was a 5-year Naval officer, and my son a 4-year Marine Corps officer. My advice about country and duty and honor is very different today with the "leaders" and system we now have. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mungkiman Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 Ironic travesty. Lars Where do you think most flags that will be displayed this coming 4th of July were manufactured? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtimer Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 I would wager that a high percentage of American flags being flown this weekend were not made in America, especially if they were purchased at Wal-Mart. How sick are you now? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karsoncookie Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 I,m aware of that. That has no dilution on this situation. Just cause the neighbor's kids are drug addicts, does that mean you'rs are excused to be also??? I'm really surprised you guys are reacting to my feeling this way.

oldtimer Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 You use an avatar of a comedian then display no sense of humor. That's surprising to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derrickdj1 Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 It's not made in the USA. I don't think most of the fire works used to celebrate the 4th of July are made here either. What is the point. American have jobs relate to making the product, distribution of the product. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
