War Veteran and vocal defender of freedom & American values/Open to adult debate, not ridicule/NO DMs. The Republican party is no better than the Democrats.
I only have 4500 or so followers so I know this probably won't be seen by many, but I felt the need to write this anyway.
I live in the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!
Land of the FREE, because of the BRAVE.
Home of Baseball, Hot Dogs, Apple Pie, and Chevrolet.
A place where people will give up everything they have to come and pursue their dreams.
I was fortunate enough to be born here, as were my parents, grandparents, great-grandparents, and their parents. My skin color does not matter. My age is 59. I served this country and my community for all of my adult life. This land is my land.
I don't want the version of "progress" that is taking place right now. I want the country I grew up in to be STRONG, UNITED, FREE, & FUN. Not weak, divided, censored, & full of hate, where disagreements are displayed through violent riots instead of meaningful dialog.
I want a country where men act like men and women "make the World go 'round", as my dad once said. Where we can all agree to disagree, and not be disrespected and hated because our values and beliefs may not align.
I want a country that is safe and secure. Where punishments fit the crimes, where people are held accountable for their actions, and personal responsibility is paramount. Where people are accepted for who they are as individuals, not divided into collectives.
A country where every individual has the same opportunities to make as much pursue their dreams, become as prosperous as the can, and help whomever they choose.
And a country where people have not lost every ounce of common sense only because of their hatred for ONE man who'll pretty much be irrelevant in 3 years.
I want a government that can work together and solve problems for the people they represent. Not a government who works only to enrich themselves.
As a nation, we cannot survive being torn apart by weak and feckless men who are jealous of what we have built or those who've illegally invaded our home to rob us of our culture and our resources. We must remain vigilant, strong and UNITED.
This is MY country, THE United States of America!
Love it, or leave it.
And ๐ if you don't.
