I have my criticisms of the film Saving Private Ryan, but Miller's dying exhortation to Ryan bears repeating:  "Earn this."

I fear, we are not doing so.

Too many feel entitled to the American Heritage, it is owed them for simply existing.

The have been indoctrinated with the idea of unrestricted freedom. They have not been taught Liberty comes with Responsibility.

The American birthright must be earned by keeping it alive, and helping it grow.

AHEM I *think* you mean the Prophet Mohammed.   Better still, add PBUH as well.

Say, remember all those MSM articles that refer to something regarding Jesus, and call him "Jesus, the Messiah"?  Neither do I.

Oh, I don't think anyone has called him Lord since the 1940's, and that was only in speeches by politicians during the war. Since then, I don't think it has happened.

They could take a page from Biden, double the price, and blame it on Putin.
