Feb. 2003... (3.00 / 3)

while visiting my parents for the weekend my father and I had several talks about the times we live in and the times he has lived through. Not wanting to sound like a conspiracy theorist or paranoid or something I kept a couple thoughts to myself but father, a soldier during WWII, starting and raising a family during the McCarthy era, having fought the Civil Rights battles of the early sixties, said to me that for the first time in his life he was afraid of fascism in America.

It was that moment that I stopped thinking of it as paranoia or tin foil hat territory and finalized my decision to get involved.

And neither of us knew anything about all of this at the time.

These are serious, serious times folks. It cannot be stressed enough. If you love your country and the values it was founded on, if your ancestors fought in the Revolution or were immigrants (of any time) coming to America to find that dream... they you (and me) have an obligation and a responsibility to right these wrongs, defeat this enemy within and set this country back on the track of democracy and freedom. They have made a mockery of both words.
