I'm relatively young and impressionable. I haven't served my country in uniform, and will probably never have that honor. But this is my take on our current predicament. I look at our slowing economy, and then at the Democratic rheotoric. The Democrats hate this country the way that it is fashionable when one is thirteen to hate one's parents. They will say, or do anything, to try to push on boundaries. And never have anything good to say about the country. The issue is that the people of this country, for the most part, do not have the will or pride to say "No!, you have reached a boundary. Time to stop now." We see whole generations of men (myself included), who have not been taught to be men. And parents with no understanding of role-modeling. This is not to say that my parents were not good role models. My parents were excellent role models and I owe them my life. What I am saying is that society and schools do not teach men to be men. An overly simple example of this is that in a book store there is a whole section of Women's Heath or Women's Studies. But there is none for men. Men are never taught how to be men by society, and when parent role modeling fails (in the case of drug use and physical/verbal abuse), it makes for very adult looking boys. In the same way women are not taught to be women and having the freedom to choose career and women's lib seems to have turned into anti-mother anti-wife sentiments in some circles.

We live in a society that eschews the mere thought of nationalism. What happened to our pride? What happened to our love, or eros,  for this country?  It has, like drops of water on stone, been eroded away by decades of adolescent rebellion acted out by liberal adults who never grew up to be men and women. We need some good ol fashioned national pep rallies. We need to show the liberals that hating one's country will not make it any stronger, and supply them with reasons to be proud to be American. How we do this, I really do not know, but I trust in God and the American spirit to breath pride back into our hurting country. Give the people pride, and our country will be just fine.

Like many of us, I harbor many conflicting emotions concerning the future. Our beautiful Nation is under attack, yet who will defend her. Our political hope is weak in that he is not ours, but the alternatives are potentially nation-shattering. What are we to do? How are we to speak? It is far more than a battle of ideas, but a battle for Nation and Identity. Times are accelerating, forcing us to not look to the past as guide to the future, and so we are doomed to repeat it. History has been rewritten to such an extent that those who cry for liberty support tyranny, and those who are supposed to give liberty, give only lies. This is a crucial time for the world and for our nation and we must acknowledge its severity.

America is being attacked from every possible direction. The attack is coming from the south, as aliens swarm our borders pillaging our cities and attacking our citizens. It is coming from the the Far East, as China looms like so many locusts. The attack is coming from the Middle-East, as Islam attacks our troops and our nation itself. And Europe, our ally apparent, is a sluggish amoeba allowing their culture to become infected by Sharia law and a culture of domination and submission. To make matters worse, our blessed country is being eaten from the inside out. Liberals and leftist threaten our very existence, using hate speech and "civil rights" to effectively silence their opposition, and use the MSM to brainwash young society into believing that there is no conservatives left in America. Obama, their leader, has huge rallies, and speaks with a silver tongue. He is wildly cheered while deprecating his own nation, and the media represents him as a messiah as such. This type of leader sounds eerily familar, an echo of 1933. Thus, it appears that the conservatives are the only one's left to defend our country and the West.

And we are here, and we are hear en mass. On every side we are threatened, we are slandered, and we are pushed back. The left, in their quest for heaven on Earth, has left their reason behind and become the noble savage that never existed. Relying on emotion, these progressives further sow their own doom as well as ours, their self-hate cutting off their mind to calm their over medicated hearts. Yet, it is in these heaving times that greatness is found and hope is born. Hope for ourselves and hope for our children.

Obama and Hillary want the American people to trust them with America's hope. I say that this talk is the talk of of lies and of tyrants. I say that the only place hope should be, is with who won it over 200 years ago; The American people.

And it is because we are Americans that we have courage for our future, all melodrama aside. We have courage to hold out until the Left finally gets it. We have the courage to fight the war of ideas that must be waged. We have the courage to fight the war of arms that will be waged. And we have the courage to fight for our country because we are Americans.
