It is very strange that the last six decades, which gave you and yours all the many comforts of your century of improved living standards, are being denied the status that we elders saved and worked for in these United States.
A better life is what we elders desired, dreamed and worked to bring you and yours. Giving is our true joy. Now we elders are being scorned, denied and dumped. What are all of you and your generation giving back to us elders, as we wished for you?
Congress is now Judas. To see our ethics being spat upon; do you really think that we now care of labor in vain? ? No.
Regretfully, as my husband”s people would say, “White eyes talk with forked tongue.” To me it was an insult for Obama to mention my husband”s people at Fort Hood. He is biracial and should know not to inflict such insulting words, to offend, as he chose to do and to rub salt in a wound. The original Native Americans had nothing to do with instigating such a massacre. African Americans continually scream racial discrimination ? why are the Native Americans not taking a stand against such an insult to their forefathers?
All the suffragettes of 1917 who stood in front of the White House would be ashamed of the silence of today”s women. Where are the concerned women of the country? You birth the children, yet where are your voices to give them a strong, secure future that we gave to your generation?
That youngster who refuses to participate in the Pledge of Allegiance is beyond my understanding. Since 1776 is that not why Americans have laid down their lives ? in order for those words to live? Give that youngster a tour of Arlington Cemetery ? the parents, too! “A picture is worth a thousand words.”
