WHERE HAVE ALL THE PATRIOTS GONE?


SPECIAL POST

Harry S. Truman.  Dwight D. Eisenhower.  Ronald W. Reagan.  George S. Patton.  Abraham Lincoln.  Daniel Boone.  Patrick Henry.  There is a long list of great and patriotic Americans who have served this country in the past, too long to list here.  To the one, they have rallied to the cause of American democracy time and time again, waving the flag and standing up for the ideals upon which our nation was built. 

Where are they now?  Who in today’s America can we point to as being worthy of being mentioned in the same paragraph as those above?  Conservatives would be quick to mention Rush Limbaugh or Glenn Beck, but even these “giants” of conservatism do not have the stature I’m talking about.  I’m talking about the kind of person who would readily give up their wealth and health to further the causes of the country. 

Where are they? Where are those who would epitomize the word, "True American Patriot?'

The Lord knows that we desperately need that true American patriot to lead us out of this horrible mess we have allowed to fester around us.  We need someone who has the guts and the fortitude to take the political risks associated with telling both parties to quit their self-serving bickering and to get on with the business of running the country, someone who is willing to stand up and tell the Obama’s of the world to start packing and to apply the rules of treason to those who seek to sell our secrets and subvert our democracy. 

Why is everyone so afraid to take on the role, to shed the shackles of “political correctness” and to find a common course toward restoring America and taking back our ship of state from those who are systematically destroying it? 

That’s MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted.
