We really should be ashamed of ourselves...why?? Okay, sit down and
let me explain. For those of us that are "graying" and feeling the daily twinges
of pains that weren't there yesterday...you can recall this. Simply
put, in the old days nobody, NOBODY messed with us...the
United States of America....nobody!! You want to play "tough guy"...go ahead but
don't flex your biceps at our friends or any American town or member of our
population – WE (unified!) will put you down!...let
me go off the rails for a moment...Today at "Zeb's Lunch Bunch", a good friend of
mine brought me a life size cardboard cutout of John Wayne, standing tall and proud
with his holstered Colt .45. What was eye catching to me was that he was
placed just in front of our revered U.S. flag....WOW! I sat there
honestly mesmerized with the "visual" of one of America's most iconic and respected
"actors" in front of our flag and … it hit me! John Wayne playing Davey Crockett
at the battle of the Alamo, giving his life for Texas independence. And John Wayne
playing the part of a crusty old sheriff willing to give his life to bring the "bad
guys" to justice and support what's right and denounce what's wrong. The John Wayne
swagger...the John Wayne "look" and the John Wayne "don't tread on me" attitude
is so desperately needed today. John Wayne loved this country and it really
showed in his recorded album of "America, Why I Love Her", when you listen you can
feel the tears and the proud heartbeats...he loved this land! I've thought many
times how great it would be to have "The Duke" here today. I'd have him look Obama
right in the eye and tell him to "tough up, act like an American and do your
job!" I'd love to see him go on a college campus and have some "wet nosed punk
know nothings" condemn this country and disparage our flag!....Ole John would
have them in water troughs and beggin' for mercy! I'd love to see "The Duke" address
the United Nations and look at all the phony world leaders with their sneering eyes
and tell them to straighten up or else!...and he would follow up
on the "else"! What we have today, are a mixed bag of fruits and nuts and
cream cheese wussies that simply put don't have the cajones of an amoebic cell to
lead and dominate! So...where are we? Right here! Never
let anyone dominate you, control you, force you, coerce
you, and demand of you...NEVER! Stand up for what is right
and fight hard to put down what is wrong...do not weaken your principles. If
we all did this and acted like the John Wayne image...I feel America would
be respected again! The Duke may be gone but you and I and many more are
still here...so what do you say, "Pilgrim"....God
Bless America!
Sorry that this "Cowpies" is a lil' bit late. I ran into a brick wall of health
problems and it took me out of the loop for a few days. However, thanks to the
Good Lord Above and my beautiful wife....we're back in the saddle...Head
'em up.... move 'em out!
Don't forget Dr-History.com! Exciting episodes of the old West!! Now in 85 countries...85!!
And not one of them has said they're offended!
God Bless America!
Our Pledge
of Allegiance:
I pledge Allegiance to the flag
of the United States of America
and to the Republic for which it stands,
one nation under God, indivisible,
with Liberty and Justice for all.
Dear Lord: Please Bless and heal this land with your grace and power.
Help us to realize YOU are in charge as you were, as you are
now and like
you'll be in the future. Forgive us for "straying off the trail" of what's
right
and what's wrong and help us to appreciate what you've blessed us with,
the greatest Country in the world...America!
In Jesus Name.....Amen
Look up Luke 14:11
GOD BLESS THE USA!
