There was a time in America, a better time, when:
We openly and proudly expressed our love of God and country;
we did not lock our doors;
our streets were safe to walk and drive;
we honored our heroes;
we cherished our founders, their gifts, their sacrifices, their courage, and their love of America;
we sang 'The Star-Spangled Banner';
we pledged allegiance to our beloved country;
we respected our system of laws and the Constitution;
and we worked, raised families and prayed together as one people under one flag.

Is that America gone forever?"
