Why Grandpa?

Have you ever thought about explaining where our country is and how we got here to your grandchildren? Really, when I think about it, at their age, I had to go to a phone, it wasn't in my pocket. Homework required a trip to the library or a set of encyclopedias, not surfing the net for the needed info. Music came from a transistor radio, eight track, or an LP. I'm comfortable sitting around a holographic simulated campfire, (To reduce carbon footprint), explaining all those innovations and how they influenced our lives, but I'm not comfortable answering this.....

Grandpa, what was the country like before socialism? You know when it was a free market republic. How did our economy bankrupt itself and a world currency come to be? What was it like to be truly free before they implanted the microchips in our money and on us? Was it fun to own a gun and go target practice and hunting? Were you ever sued by a deer? Was it fun to drive where you wanted, when you wanted, before government transportation was mandated? What's religion? Before the government controlled our electricity and our fuel purchases could you be comfortable in your home? Did you get an allowance when you were my age from your parents like the government gives us now? Grandpa, what was it like to be free?

I reply, "Those are all great questions son. The answer is simple, we took that all for granted. Now Grandpa has to run to the eco-friendly government transportation for his appointment to review his health care account and how much more treatment I'm entitled to."

Please go to You Tube and search for the 11 part series entitled Freedom to Fascism, by the late Aaron Russo. He was the producer of the movies Trading Places, Wise Guys, and The Rose. This is an incredible, informative documentary and needs to be seen by all. Each clip is about 10 mins long so you can break it up into segments. Please invest the time to watch this and be informed!

I'm sure I don't have to remind anyone today is the anniversary of that historical day America was attacked and changed forever. Please take a moment and joint me in a prayer to remember the families of those who gave their lives, and for the preservation of freedom in our God fearing country. "LET'S ROLL!"

God Bless
