Many years ago a person was visiting the docks, I think in San Francisco and he heard a Dock Worker talking. He was surprised at the breath and width if his knowledge and to make a long story short the Dock Worker was Eric Hoffer who ended up writing some good books. I remember one comment he made and it related to a Lawyers convention in which he pointed out the Attorney's had invited the then head of the Black Panthers Movement and who preached nothing but hate for the US. When he was done spilling his hate at the convention the Attorney's stood and gave him a standing ovation. He used this as an example of cowardness. When does coward behavior stop and care of the country begin? Is it being a coward to stand by and watch a number of Cities being taken over by thugs? Is it being a coward to stand by and listen to people shouting to rip down USA history, whether buildings or statutes? You can add the rest examples of being a coward. Who do you hold responsible for letting any of this happen? It is being a coward by omission rather than commission. When is it time to not reward bad behavior and to ensure consequences for those who allow anarchy to be part of the fiber of the US? :ohdear:

Well said! It sickens me to know that this has been going on for far to long.

Really? Que Kumbaya? Look to history.

Frankly, I could furnish, with links quotes from folks you consider great or wonderful, or I believe you do, saying very very unpatriotic things. But two things would happen....I get deleted and banned, and you type in fake news, env though I could supply video and the actual quotes.

Anecdotal talk has no weight at all with me, although I would guess you are fairy accurate although out of context.

Others where one parent abuses the kid(s). There are 2-parent families that have no love within the home. There are 2-parent families where the parents are criminals. There are 2-parent families...etc. etc. etc.

That comment is true but out of context. There are exceptions to everything. Think back to the 1950’s, 60’s and early 70’s when 2 parent households were more common. Children were brought up differently. Children were disciplined when needed they were not your friend like some parents and kids state. Schools had discipline or the student was punished by the teacher or the parents. There was much more respect for one another. When I misbehaved in school not only did I get whacked by the teacher but my parents would kick my a- - as well. Ask any teacher, discipline in school doesn’t exist because if the teacher disciplines a student he or she will be suspended or fired.
