Me too.........but then a feeling of relief that the apathy will and must finally come to an end puts a smile back on my face. For too long, we've been doing too much bitching and not enough doing. We didn't get into this stinking pile of crap overnight, it's been creeping up on us for decades. For the first time, I feel like we have an opportunity to take our country back, like people are finally waking up. We've known for along time that the current path isn't sustainable, yet we've continued to tread, now it crumbles beneath our feet. I'll leave you with two quotes from Ike: Here in America we are descended in blood and in spirit from revolutionists and rebels - men and women who dare to dissent from accepted doctrine. As their heirs, may we never confuse honest dissent with disloyal subversion. Dwight D. Eisenhower History does not long entrust the care of freedom to the weak or the timid. Dwight D. Eisenhower
I know Ole Ike pretty well. He's family; warts and all.
It makes me tear up thinking about it. My apologies in advance for having to mop up after me.

"If you love wealth more than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, depart from us in peace. We ask not your counsel nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you. May your chains rest lightly upon you and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.”—Samuel Adams

Do you know how many good people are going to die to preserve freedom in America ?
