I wonder what it was like when someone called you a Christian, it wasn't an insult.
When we were at war, a Democrat would risk his life to pull a wounded Republican out of the line of fire.
When we lost an entire division at the Battle of the Bulge, it made us more determined to win, and the thought of surrender was not even considered.
When we were at war ALL the people actually sacrificed, not just the soldiers and their families. AND thought it their duty to do so.
When the Boy Scouts were encouraged and not run off by the City of San Diego.
When the members of the NRA were thought of as good citizens and not attacked by the President of the United States as a bunch of rednecked, gun totting whacked out right wing freaks.
When you could go hunting and not be stalked by animal rights activists that spooked off the game.
When there was a fight at a party, the winner would shake hands with the looser after the fight was over....instead of coming back later and doing a drive by on the whole party.
Where "honor" meant just that. Like a Marine that was willing to give up his life for his country. Not just Presidential candidates that are the guest of "honor" at a Daily Kos convention.
When it was OK to argue a bit over politics, then go have a beer. Instead of differences that turn into pure hate.
When all the states on the map were green instead of red or blue.
When a few American hostages were taken, Teddy Roosevelt sent a fleet of war ships to go fetch em.
And most of all, where is the America where you could find a machine that you could get a coke in a bottle for a dime. Where the hell did that go?
