These are the times that try men's souls ....why have Americana's forgotten?

Why have American's forgotten that we are a nation built on our commonality of people. That we are now bent on self and instant gratification vs. helping others at any price, just floors me. Where are the Thomas Paine's of this century! Instead of the lame news media and liberal dribble that is spouting how evil America is. How could Paine's words from The American Crisis be forgotten!

''''These are the times that try men's souls: The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of his country; but he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman.Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph.''

But then again I remember from history leassons that the Democrats hated Abraham Lincoln too! And as President he trampled the contitution and held poltical prisioners...oh how soon we forget.

From a soldier in Iraq!

Amen. Stay safe. ''Four score and seven years ago, our forefathers brought forth on this continent a new nation concieved in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal, and now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation can so long endure.''
