U.S.: Circling the drain

| August 22, 2021 1:00 AM

I’m 76 years old. I was brought up to believe it is MY responsibility to my country to 1) serve my country (I did, 1962-1969 active duty); 2) to be informed about the country’s politics.

My mother was on the right. My dad was on the left, an immigrant from Scotland fed up with the ruling class. I listened to both and found my own place. I am a conservative.

I have voted in every election since I legally could. Many times I wish I could say I DON’T CARE but that’s not in me! Many friends over the last 20 years have said “you’re too negative,” only to come back to say “you’re right.”

America as it was founded IS LOST. The future is blacker than what you can imagine because too many people are not informed.

To be informed takes time and work! For the time being, information is at your finger tips, maybe not for long.

YOU are in control of the destiny for your children. Do not let them down. I’m not a prepper with lots of food, nor am I a gun nut with lots of guns. When the uprising starts, I will fight for my country as I have done before because I am American. Can you say the same?
