Swamp

Politics is an ugly word. It reflects in a picture how messed up our society has become. Liberals have lost their minds. There is no more common sense or morality in those that lead and represent and report the news. I know there is dishonesty in politics all the time, but the level it has reached in this era is mind boggling. Outright lies, made up stories, deep deep deception and schemes.
Watch the liberals closely, (and I mean the ones who are basically socialist, think America is bad and needs to be taken down) many times what they blame and point fingers about to others is exactly what they are doing. I see it again and again. Just like with all this Russian collusion accusations. They have been trying for over a year to pin something on Trump with that and have found Nothing. All the while knowing that is was them who were colluding with the Russians. And to find out now that the so called dossier was paid for and directed by hillary and the gang.(which anyone with half a brain has known for a long time) Back in the news again too is the whole uranium sale to Russia, which I knew was shady back then and we find out now how truly corrupt at the highest levels that was. There is no reason whatsoever to ever sell uranium to Russia.
I'm so tired of all the corruption and nothing ever happens to the guilty parties.
There is so much hypocrisy on the left it's almost laughable how brazen they are if it wasn't so sad what they are doing to the country.
I can hardly stand to hear any news because the crap just keeps coming. Thank goodness for conservative radio to weed through the lies and garbage and let us know what's really going on and all the good things that Trump is doing. We know the main stream faux media/ news reporters will never tell us that.

Patriots

What happened to patriotism? I know it's still around, but not to the extent I grew up with .The media would also have you believe everyone hates America by what they broadcast but we know that's not true. Just drive around and you will still see flags flying proudly. Go to high school or college sports and you will hear our great national anthem. Even so, it does seem patriotism, love and respect for America has declined. I don't think kids are being taught love of country or given an understanding of our founding and exceptionalism. We are truly unique in the world and future American generations need to be be taught about it or we will loose what we've built.
One thing I miss from growing up is when the anthem was played at ballgames. Then, it wasn't just played and people stand, the whole crowd would proudly sing along. It wasn't so much a performance by someone as it was a community together honoring America and the freedoms we enjoy. I wish that tradition would start up again. The situation that inspired the anthem is nothing short of inspiring. The strength those soldiers had to hold out against the British and keep our flag flying is beyond amazing.
Over the years the flag has been a beacon of hope, an inspiration to achieve greatness and an encouragement to go on. It has meaning far beyond a piece of cloth.

Allegiance

My thoughts on the kneeling in the NFL .  It's important to respect the flag and what it means. There are other ways we can protest or work to correct injustice in America, but disrespecting the flag shouldn't be one of them. We need to be thankful to live in this country, despite some flaws it's the greatest country there is. Respecting the flag shows honor to those who fought and died for or freedom and those currently doing the same and sacrificing for our country.

I think the flag represents the citizens and the ideals of America. I feel disrespecting the flag equates to disrespecting the people. Protesting can be a positive thing and our founders made sure to include that in our freedoms but I think there are appropriate and inappropriate ways to go about it. Even better than protesting is doing things in the community to make things better. The biggest problem in America is a heart issue...from taking God out and letting government be the caregiver, but I guess that's a whole other issue. We look at the same situation from different lenses so see things differently.

I think we as a nation do embrace all people.  The fringe wackos that don't..don't represent America, not what America stands for. (Its just that they get all the media coverage so it's all people see) I know a lot of people work hard to help things in America to improve, we have made great strides in the last 100 years though there are still problems. The thing today is everything is so upside down, what's good is bad and what's bad is good. I'm sure God grieves for us and the things going on not just here but all over the world. The flag is most definitely not above God but it deserves respect nonetheless. I don't think respecting the flag means you don't care about the issues our country faces. The flag should be a symbol to bring us together not be used to tear us apart. We are all God's children of equal value. One thing I know for sure is that God is in control no matter what and we can trust in that..no matter the chaos or craziness around us.
