Remember --

When undocumented immigrants were illegal aliens When folks proudly sang the National Anthem When striking a police officer was a heinous crime When marriage was between a man and a woman When a woman wouldn’t give up her baby for anything When the elderly were respected not assaulted and mugged When America set out to win wars When women sighed over a ‘man in uniform’ When National Socialism and Communism were the enemy When the terrorists were not all Islamists When folks cheered the President’s motorcade… Folks, you’re not gonna have to remember this much longer ‘cos you’re gonna witness most of this again by 2028

Congratulations on your POTD GW! Fun times, when we turned a blind eye to the reality of Wallace's segregation forever, Asian prison camps, police beatings, lynching, swinging clubs etc. The United States of Amnesia! Karma bites. Enjoyed ~Anaya "being Christian or God-fearing means caring for everyone, taking the hard road, not the peaceful path of complicity. lefties = justice for all" Even Jesus was a bleeding heart ;)

Congratulations on POTD, Gershon. A well-deserved recognition of excellence for poetically speaking the truth of reality that many of us remember all too well. Only time will tell if we can keep freedom and democracy alive and well for future generations. Kudos again /// Terrell

Cometh the hour, cometh the man! He’s draining the swamp and the bottom dwellers don’t like it. Common sense is common again. It was all worth the wait. Congrats on your POTD. Long live 45 & 47!

Dear Gershon: Glad it is not only me that lamented the loss of all decent things. Whatever ii needs to bring it all back- I’m for. Yes, simple decency and consideration is a good start. Thanks for writing .SuZ
