Where were you in '62?....

I read this over the weekend and have been thinking about it ever since.
It's true....I believe Ann Coulter had an article similar to this recently.
Folks...we're about 2 steps away from the proverbial cliff.
If we jump....America is probably lost forever and this great god-given experiment is gone into the history books like so many others.
If we pull ourselves back and stand firm...there's a chance...and it's JUST a chance we'll find her; and with that - ourselves again.
There has never been a nation so blessed....so incredible as ours.
Most of us standing today are the direct result of that success and bounty....even if we're struggling and broke.
How....HOW can we let our Founders down?
Do we have the strength to stand firm?
Even though I'm more exhausted than I have ever felt in my life....I have it....do you?

Fifty years ago, in the summer of 1962, America was a far different place than it is today. President John Kennedy was presiding over Camelot and despite fouling up the invasion of Cuba, his approval rating hovered around 80%. Unemployment was 5.2% with the average family income at $6,000 a year.
