I Remember America

I remember the days when highschool and college marching bands could play patriotic music by Sousa without fear of reprisals from the ACLU or some other group of nut-cases who get their knickers in a twist over patriotism.

I remember when every school day started with the Pledge of Allegiance and no one complained or sued over it.

I remember when neighborhood associations and home owners' associations didn't ban the flying of the American Flag because it might offend Muslim terrorists.

I remember when signs were only in English.

I remember when people could be proud to be Americans and not fear being assailed for expressing patriotism.

I remember when The 4th of July meant cotton candy, marching bands and American flags and not illegal aliens rioting in the street waiving Mexican Flags and demanding US Citizenship be sold for $2000 in so-called "fines".

I remember when George Washington was the First President instead of a philandering evil white male slave owner who wanted to oppress minorities.

I remember when people immigrated to the US legally because they believed in American and what it stood for and not to suck us dry by demanding and collecting welfare and Social Security they never paid into in the first place.

I remember what it used to mean to be an American before it was the fashion to be a 'hyphenated American".

I remember America......and it's rapidly slipping away.

No Hable Ingles.
