We’re Trying …

We slept while decades of over-spending dug the hole in which we are now fully submerged. We thought we could trust those we elected. WRONG! We know that now. Sorry for our irresponsibility and complacency. Forgive us! We are awake now … at least some of us are. We will work to repair the damage we have allowed on our watch.

Stand up, AMERICANS!

We inherited a wealthy America, a HEALTHY America, but we ruined it. Our Christian heritage built this nation not on religious principles, but with an honorable morality. We’ve allowed this to erode into the moral vacuum we see now in America. Kids killing other kids, having babies, abusing babies. Adults trying to be friends to their children instead of parents training their children to be morally responsible, productive citizens. We CAN find our way to a FREEDOM found in healthy moral boundaries, but we must start now.
