To the editor,
What a glorious time to be alive. I was sitting, relaxing after a hard days work, watching an Eagles concert in high definition on my 60” flat screen. I reflected back to my youth. The Ed Sullivan Show was about to come on, featuring Elvis Presley. I watched him singing and writhing on our fuzzy black and white television. We have come so far.
I listen as Obama preaches how we need to change and I can only laugh. An African American who went to the finest schools and became a United States Senator, is very wealthy, and is saying we need to change. His wife denounces her own country that gave her family so much by saying that this is the first time she is proud of her country? I don’t get it.
I sit and watch my flat screen, comforted and at ease knowing that I gave my best, six years of my life during a time of war, my life at risk, to protect the opportunity to enjoy so much freedom in the greatest country in the world.
I can’t understand the ones that follow behind slick-talking politicians. They follow with empty heads, suffering from shallow common sense believing the rhetoric that things are terrible. In addition to that, most have never experienced wanting for anything, except apparently wanting to not have to sacrifice and work for it. Liberals are at heart, pessimists. What a glorious time to be alive in the most prosperous nation in the world.
