Is this really America any longer? Are we willing to sit back and lose it all? Our country is changing as we become less tolerant of each others opinions but more complacent while our enemy advances. America I hate losing you. I loved the America we grew up in. I will pray tonight that we are not attacked tomorrow and I will pray for our country as so many have no idea what Independence day even means

Good post and spot on.
Had some discussions on this very subject last week.
I know the liberals feel picked on when you say this, but they alone have allowed the practice of attacking anyone, and in any way, who says something contrary to their agenda.
People ask for a conversation on race, but I am afraid that is impossible in today's world. If you say something that is not in TOTAL agreement with the liberal side of things, you can be assured that you will be labeled a racist.
Express a fear of radical Islam, and you get a label.
Express your disagreement with gay marriage and you will get a label
It goes on, but in addition to the words, if you make a statement on race, not only will you be labeled, you potentially face actions.
We have seen how actions accompany the words regarding gay marriage or Muslim activity.
Nothing inside me has hate for blacks, immigrants, Hispanic or gays,BUT should I express any concern about any of those issues, I stand to be condemned or punished if possible.
And that condemnation comes from those who express their sensitivity to ALL. That ALL does not include anyone who may have a differing opinion.
Free speech is being killed slowly and surely. Through history we have received warnings about the freedoms that will be attacked, but we are now so tied up in our own political "stuff", the country has become second to political victory.
