Thus, the desire to remove from the country that has become and return to the country that was.mamabearCali wrote: . . . When I was in school and pledged allegiance to our country. I was not pledging allegiance to the name only, but to everything the country stood for. When the country's very nature changes to something opposite of that which it was it raises very serious questions that need answering. Recently I have felt like the Israelites in Babylon as a stranger in a land that is suddenly very strange and not at all what it used to be. I am still working out my thoughts and feeling on this and what it means.
A sentiment I can subscribe to, although I very much doubt that we ever will return to that ideal, if it ever existed.
When I was a child in school we got a liberal propaganda rag that we were forced to subscribe to, "The Weekly Reader" was supposed to be some sort of news magazine for kids, but it always seemed a little suspicious to me, and I feel that where we have gone has been much the way they were attempting to point us.
Of course I was always somewhat suspicious of school in general, too.
