Sweet Land of Liberty

We put them in power, and then we do nothing but complain. No matter what they do,we stare at them with utmost disdain. We who work and hold America so very dear, Are not smashing windows in Portland in stolen riot gear. We do not put criminals up, to bow to nor to behold. Those cracking this country with destruction, and joy untold. Some of us do really honor the Red, White and Blue. We love the USA and all divisiveness, we most heartily eschew!

Amen, Pangia! My sentiments as well! I spent 30 years in the AF to uphold the right to complain but not to condone the inane destruction that is being done by rabble. Someone had better rein them in soon or this great country that I love will sink without a trace. GRRRRR!!! Bob

Wow! Your comment Disappeared, I don't know how I got it back!!TRAVIS AFB IS CLOSED here due to ongoing fires. Thank you Bob, for those years of service. I cannot imagine what it feels like for you to observe hatred for all things right, bright and beautiful. Butterflies and flowers are loved and written about. The beauty of America? HAH! Sometimes I do cry watching the news. Evil is honored. Good is spat upon. Our history ...........llied about. Removal of God from the pledge? But we take a knee to criminals that are shot? Welcome to Crazy Town.BTW we won't sink. Have faith and pray, Bob Hugs from Pangie xx

Yup! Like they used to say about 'mental illness: 'I can't afford to be mentally ill -- Too expensive and too time-consuming!!' So too with all that unproductive complaining! :) gw

An excellent POV.i am worn to a nub hearing endless meowing, complaining and worse, citizens spreading unbased fear of the future to this. Nobody uses Snopes , or TRUTHORFICTION.com. Wizards just love to scare us, today's Nostradamuses. LOL. On a serious note, we have a virus here that kills the human spirit. Called.."Rank Ingratitude for Anything!" Panagiota xx

Tom...my comment to you disappeared?! Will try again))) I said there was more peace here than craziness.FAKE NEWS specializes in twisting the truth like a pretzel. They are shameless snakes. And a right arm of negativity and lies. Ugh! Pangie xx
