MY COUNTRY, RIGHT OR WRONG

The Gunny was raised to be a flag-loving American, proud of his country and Stephen Decatur, a US Naval officer captured that spirit when he wrote:

"Our country! In her intercourse with foreign nations, may she always be in the right; but our country, right or wrong."

So what the hell is wrong with the scumbags who seek to drag us down? The First Wookie stated that she was never proud of her country until Jug Ears was in the campaign! What the HELL was Ol Junk in the Trunk thinking? Maybe they are just people who happen to accidentally just live here. Once upon a time, the Gunny was thinking about enlisting in the French Foreign Legion, after they came to Oakland California to recruit, and he was out of the Corps after his first enlistment expired and he was jobless . Dad said to never do anything that would forfeit your God-given grace of being born an American, in a free country, that millions wanted to flock to every year. He was dead on the money.

The Gunny once observed the Old Man with TEARS in his eyes at a baseball game, as the anthem played. Was he thinking of his WW buddies who never made it back? Perhaps the Gunny attacks liberals so viciously because they seek to change our nation from one of exceptionalism to one of European feebleness and thus, negate the sacrifices of veterans and folks on the homefront made over two centuries. How many of us see the flag wave in the breeze and somehow, feel better for it, no matter how shitty our day is going? How many of us have stood at attention during colors, heard the national anthem, and felt it in our hearts. Corny? Maybe. But only a scumbag anti-American would not feel that pang in their heart. The Gunny still finds it amazing that there are Americans, or rather, just people living in America, that are not moved by the flag, the anthem, and the greatness of America.

How many families have sent their sons, and now their daughters, to the military, to serve with silent pride? How many of us have served with unrecognized distinction, the only reward being that WE knew WE did a helluva job. One Marine stated about the medals awarded on Iwo Jima, that a few hundred more Medals of Honor could have been awarded for individual bravery above and beyond except that all of the witnesses were dead or the singular act was unwitnessed. But The First Wookie was only proud of her country when Obowmao was in the race. The Gunny proudly embraces that his family has a long history of service to this nation and there are millions and millions of other REAL citizens in this country who can claim veterans in their lineage, some going back to the Revolutionary War. Dare the Gunny say that WE are the citizens while the rest are merely here courtesy of the luck of the draw on their birth or their ability to swim the Rio Grande. Those who serve and those who support us are the real Americans, those who oppose us, who vandalize recruiting offices, who spat on returning veterans, who undercut our funding in Congress, who seek to disarm us, they are the domestic enemy. The Fifth Column.

In the military, when watching a movie on base, we stand for the anthem and watch the film clip being played. Why do they not do this across the nation? When the anthem plays, we should take a moment to remember those who have given the ultimate gift to America and to remember that freedom is not free, we have to fight for it every single day. How many families were devastated when the one they loved sacrificed their all for our freedom but took solace in the fact that their sacrifice was not in vain. They had paid their dues on the altar of freedom. Who could have known that liberals and their country club Republican lickspittles like Grahamnesty, Collins, and Snowe would turn this nation upside down. From "all gave some and some gave all" to “few give a lot for the entitlements of the lazy.”

Liberals and liberalism have turned this nation from one of hard work, luck, the American Dream into a nation of the right to a free ride courtesy of someone else, the right to various entitlements, and the right to claim more rights. One of the Gunny’s ancestors came here at age 13, from the Austro-Hungarian Empire, to go to Ellis Island, get checked out, make sure he had a job, a sponsor, and a place to live, and then went straight into the coal mines. One generation later, we were out of the mines and catering to the miners! But liberals today demand that we allow illegal aliens to come here and sponge off of us, to the tune of BILLIONS a year in welfare, medicare, court costs, jail costs, etc, simply because they are just coming here to work, to have a family, and that they’re not hurting anyone in doing it. Tell that to the cops murdered in Arizona. Tell that to the folks in Phoenix, now the #1 kidnapping for ransom site in America, thanks to illegals. Tell that to the hundreds of sex crime victims after their rapists run back into Mexico to escape justice.

The Gunny’s ancestors, like millions of others, came to this country because they wanted to be free, to be Americans, to pursue the American Dream and they damn sure thanked God for getting them to America. They stopped speaking their native tongue for English, they adopted the customs of this nation, and they sent their sons to war, gladly. THIS was THEIR country, it was great, and it was allowing them to live free, They happily endured the hardships to get here and they freely assimilated into our culture. They became proud Americans. Liberals have destroyed that what with their quest for multiculturalism and forced diversity. The Hell with footbaths for Muslims in airports. The Hell with Muslims refusing to allow dogs into their taxis because “they” think dogs are unclean. This is America, suck it up. WE are getting the shaft by liberals who seek to change this great nation from one of AMERICAN CITIZENS to one of a bunch of people living in 57, oops, 50 states, ruled by clowns inside the Beltway.

Liberals allow these illegal aliens to flood through our southern border and rest assured, Comrade Obowmao WILL legalize them through an Executive Order, they who do not respect our country, who do not follow our laws, who do not respect our culture but instead, bring their own culture here, who spit and burn our flag, who refuse to speak English, and who are not here to make the NATION great. No, they want US to learn to speak Spanish and give them jobs, so that they can send money back to support their home country’s economy! They are nothing but takers and they fit right into the Democrat’s agenda since THEY are takers as well. They seize our wages for a bankrupt Social Security scam. They seize our taxes for the benefit of the parasites like Peggy the Moocher and her illegal alien brethren. They take our God-given right to utilize our resources and profit for them for their enviro-nazis allies. Take, take, take, that is all these vermin know. This fifth column within our midst is weakening our country.

There are two classes in America and they ain’t rich and poor, they’re Americans and non-Americans. Americans are pissed off and outraged at what liberals and their RINO henchmen are doing to America while the non-Americans are working in concert WITH that fifth column. We’re PISSED OFF that illegals are milking the system and that Liberals are ALLOWING IT TO HAPPEN! Legal immigration, as our ancestors went through, is the right way but the illegals coming in here, taking what our ancestors fought for and sometimes died for, is a slap in the face to Americans. The non-Americans, especially those non-Americans who were born here, should be held in contempt by those of us who remember the greatness of America because they no longer remember what being an American is really about and furthermore, that they don’t CARE to remember. They’re just along for the ride.

It is time for Americans to ask themselves a few questions and they are:

Do I deserve to live in America?
Do I love America enough to fight to make it great again?
Do I want America to be the Exceptional nation it used to be?
What have I done to contribute to America?
Am I simply a person living in a collection of states?

Freedom is not free. Freedom is not an entitlement. We are free because those who went before us fought for a nation they loved and embraced the principles what made this nation a nation of exceptionalism. They gave everything they had, can we do anything less?
