Supporting our Country and Making a Good Fit

As I am sitting here reading all the posts from our school blog as well as others, in remembrance of 9/11. I am hearing the Thunderbirds fly over the house practicing for their shows this week celebrating Air Force Week. We are on their flight path and very close to them. I have to tell you, it is exciting. I think of all these fine young men and women in our services and how proud they are to be serving their country and doing us proud. They get it, they make a good fit.

But, where did it all go so wrong. We are fighting for something that we sincerely believe in, at least those that have a clue as to the ramifications if we don't.
Why are we suddenly the enemy and the bad guy?
Aren't we the country that is the first to respond to emergencies around the world? Aren't we the first to jump in and help fellow man when someone is trying to annihilate them?

I am tired of the extreme leftist that want to bring harm to this fine country. If we are so bad, why do they stay? Some put out very extreme statements that boarder on treason. How does freedom of speech give them that right? I think it has gotten out of control. I think hiding behind that right to such an extreme is wrong. They don't make a good fit.

Why do they have to demostrate over every little thing. Why do they have to tear this country apart? I hold them very responsible.
If they don't like the elections, why can't they keep their mouths shut and just vote during the next election. Why do they have to act like irresponsible children when things don't go their way? If we are so bad, why don't they leave?
I have to say, I have lost any respect for those that put out lies, on the air, books, movies and any other platform they can find. I don't go to their movies or buy their books, if their objective is to tear this country apart.
Why do they think I want to hear what they have to say? Does being rich make your words more valuable? Have you every listened to one of them speak when they don't have a script in front of them?
I wouldn't give them the time of day or come to their rescue. Why don't they leave? They don't make a good fit.

No matter how you feel, if you are an American citizen or want to become one, you need to support this country in her time of need and give your very best support, you owe her that, if you can't, then it is time for you to leave. This isn't a good fit.
You don't have to agree with everything, no one does and that is okay, that is what freedom is about.

Don't move to this country and expect us to change our lives to accommodate yours. Don't expect us to build you special places of worship and give you time at work and school to practice yours. Didn't you move here to get away from that? Otherwise, what are you doing here? Don't come here and expect us to change. This won't be a good fit.

Our ancestors fought long and hard to make sure we have the freedoms you so covet. If you want to become an American, then act like an American. Otherwise, this might not be a good fit.

People like George Soros and his sick following need to be shown the door, this is not a good fit.

I watched a show the other night of the Kurds. They get it. They have been given their first chance to make a wonderful life and they are taking it and running. They have cleaned up their part of the country. Business is good, security is tight. They love America. Some name their children after our Presidents. They are building incredible buildings, they have new homes, their children are going to wonderful schools. They get it. They are making a good fit.
Now if we can just convince the rest.

Joker,

Thank you very much. As I sit here right now, I am awaiting our son in law coming in on his ship tomorrow. His ship has been on a round the world goodwill tour. He is anchored out there right now and I can see her.
So, I guess when anyone wants to do harm to our country or do something that might harm him, I take it very personal.

I thank God that I was born to a generation that on the whole gets it. I think we make a nice fit.

"We are fighting for something that we sincerely believe in, at least those that have a clue as to the ramifications if we don't."

And that's it in a nutshell, gal...
There are those that still believe we are not at war... SHOULD NOT have gone to war over this.
"It's just a criminal action, and should have been handled in the courts."
They're the same bunch that thinks all prisoners should be granted "Geneva Convention" rights, in spite of the fact that the Geneva Conventions themselves lay out EXACTLY who should be afforded those rights, and this enemy doesn't meet the requirements. There are those that hate the present administration so badly, they'd be perfectly willing to have PERMANENT damage done to our country in order to weaken it.
This cannot go on. At some point the majority will have to make a decision that will determine which direction the country is going. At that point I think the minority may in fact decide they can no longer afford to play the game. Then the real trouble will begin!

I hear to you totally.
I have a very hard time wanting to believe in or vote for or respect someone that is suppose to lead this nation to safety, when they themselves have never put on a uniform. Nor, do they intend to let any member of their family to do so.
Do they forget that Clinton hid out in Europe and Russia so he wouldn't have to serve?
Taken to a vote, I bet the right has had alot more serve than those that have chosen to sit on their butts and complain. To me, it is like the person that doesn't vote, then wants to criticize. If you want to be the Commander in Chief, then you should have to serve first. Maybe then, you will have a clue.
It is always to much easier to do armchair politics, but the posturing is sickening.
Now we have the President of Iran wanting to come here and put a wreath on the site of 9/11. Who is going to believe that is being done for compassion? He wants to gloat. And Shame on Columbia University for allowing him to speak. He speaks with a forked tongue and will not answer a direct question.
And now we have good ole Susan Saradon in a war movie, what is that about?
Some of this is just not a good fit.
