This respectful ethic has carried us since the first boat got here.
And it does appear along the way a portion our society has fallen to wanting more for doing less and worse subscribing to a sense of entitlement that then they use as justification for getting whatever they want by any means, without regard to civility, and without actually doing the work to get it. And if there is something they want and can’t get, then casting oneself as a victim becomes the method to demand things from others.
Geo I think is right, in that our enemies see that. But I think those same enemies know what happens when you wake the silent American majority.
9/11 proved that.
I think we will be alright and just hope it does not take a 9/11 to wake the sleeping Eagle that resides in us all.
And for those that elect to not shoulder their responsibility, we will wave at you in our rear view mirror knowing we offered the assistance and that you’d be riding with us had you just offered to do your share.
