But why we're having to stand up and move forward this time is a little much for me. My dad and uncles on both sides of the family, nazi Germany and Japanese aggression....check! I wore the uniform for 4 years and gladly took the oath. But now...Biden is old, libs eat babies, and just look at the price of eggs?! Please. Part of me thinks, as a people, we've blown well past the point of being worthy of salvation. We're certainly not worthy of the sacrifices our ancestors made.
