Actually, it's the country that all our forefathers fought for. Quit whining and be thankful that they didnt sit around whining like you do. Instead, their hard won prize is what gives you the right to sit around and whine.My apologies then. I thought this was another one of those scary Mulsim thread. My bad.
Quite frankly, I think you need to wake up and smell the coffee. I don't know you from Adam but I wonder how you relate to the "disappearance of America"? Nearly everything that this country was founded upon is very quickly being either a., purposely bred out of us or b., being legislated or adjudicated out of us.
I'm an old man. I have lived a good life as an American citizen; but this is NOT the country I grew up in.
We denegrate and belittle those (like me) who profess a belief in Jesus Christ on a daily basis. We pass laws that stifle the free expression of Christianity ANYWHERE but a church. God help us if we offer a prayer for our country in public. I attended my Grand Son's "Winter Extravaganza" last night and never once was there a mention of "Christmas". Never once. But the last song was all about "inclusion". inclusion of WHAT, exactly?
Yet, we are told CONSTANTLY that we must make "allowances" for Muslims, and their beliefs and practices. Why exactly? I was traveling on business several years go and had a layover in Kansas City. The "Muslim" cab drivers were striking to get "foot baths" so they might pray on company time. I heard later that they struck, yet again, to refuse to accept any passenger that THEY felt was intoxicated, or had been drinking at all.
I can only imagine what the uproar might have been had a, say, Baptist or Lutheran done the same thing.
Again, this is NOT the country I grew up in. We use to open each day with a prayer and the pledge of allegiance. Try that now and, most likely, you will be thrown into Federal prison.
I can relate to every word you said.
I remember a commerical for Oldsmobile some years back that said "this isn't your father's Olds".
Same for the country...not the one I grew up in and although still the greatest nation on earth... not one I particularly identify with any longer. But like you, I too wil be able to live the remainder of my life pretty much the way I lived the first part. The next generation isn't so lucky. They just don't realize it yet.
Don't like it?
Don't let the screen door hit you on the way out.
