Thanks Doug!

Thanks Doug!

Many libs will be happy to see the older conservatives pass away. We yet have right to be confidant in our fighting people, but will our beople have that "abounding detetrmination". And, can we really say so help us God when we aren't allowed to include God in anything and the supposed free world leader says we are not a Christian nation.

I believe there are enough of us still living that it could be repeated today, but how much longer?

Sam
