they are attacking our american values, our schools, our economy, our security. we are a failing nation. we are a nation in decline. it does not have to be this way. our decline as a country is not inevitable, it is a choice and i think we can choose a better pathway. lawrence: it s up to us. we travel near and far to celebrate the season. supper is good, warm. going to the beach. going on my boat. sleeping in for sure. eating outside and having a good time. small boat, sunset, glass of wine. a cold yoana outside. the troops and all the people, and the boats. fleet week, i was on the watch in 1993. i m old now. i m a local from new jersey. being back here and being able to have summer again. and seeing people out and about in the city. it s beautiful weather. it means a lot. we related to barbeques and having a good time. but it should be a day people understand it s because of the veterans that have gone before us that we are able to do what we are doin
religion and sports team or participation. religion takes dedication and accountability. it s hard work. and we have become spoiled. it s the same thing with patriotism. you can say i don t like this country, you can say all these things and there is no consequences for it. there is very little threat to what they are claiming. i think it s more of accountability and responsibility on decline. but when need to get back to those. i m not a religious man as the all. but i respect the moral codes that come from religion. even though i may not want to sit in a church, the messages going on, i can respect those. and i think it s important to have those. especially in our schools. just respect and getting back to what we need. is it p patriotism and decline?
