We quickly became the most powerful nation in the world. We were the sleeping giant in WW2... the deciding factor of that war. We struggled through a civil war, depressions, and hundreds of federal experimental laws.
And within the past 50 years, we've raised a nation full of wusses. We ended up with a president who bowed to other leaders, pretending to 'lead from behind' while not really leading at all. One who drew lines in the sand and then quickly buried his head in the sand. It was so embarrassing for us, to be so leaderless. As much as I disagree with Obama about EVERYTHING, I still could have followed him if he'd have just taken up the reins. But he didn't. He committed the one inexcusable sin--he wussed. In my opinion, he was a traitor.
And now we have these snow flakes committing acts of violence while wearing masks in protest of a guy who's finally leading the country again. Not protesters. This is not comparable to Martin Luther King or Rosa Parks who boldly defied authority and bravely dealt with the consequences. This is COWARDICE. And there's just nothing worse than a coward. My family members went to jail in the sixties for taking part in civil rights protests. In the 80's, my mom went to jail 5 times for protesting abortion. These 'protesters' today should be lined up and shot. Not for protesting, but for trying to do it anonymously.
President Trump, despite his big mouth, has back bone. It's refreshing. It lets me know that all is not lost. There's still some fight in this country.
