20th Century Man Continued

  I'm a natural born twentieth century man. I come from a time when men were men and women were glad of it. From a time when every man woman and child of us were proud to be known as an American. Similarly, also as it still is today, America was the place to be, we were then, the trend setters of the world. And as it still is today, people from all points of the globe wanted to be here. So beyond just our simple pride, we understood our gratefulness, as there had been two world wars and America had never had a bomb one dropped on us. It wasn't us who had to rebuild our civilization. In both of these world wars, America had remained unscathed. Recently, we recognized the great cost of freedom, Memorial day, a day when we remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom and died for us so that we remained free, and we did. Even today, America is still free. No greater sacrifice can be made than for one to lie down his life for others. To be clear, it isn't that we haven't fought wars on this land at all. We have, since as late as the nineteenth century and back to the Revolutionary war, had foreign troops fighting in our country. We did in various lesser wars, but the most deadly of all with the largest numbers of Americans killed, was when we killed each other in a Civil War. It still the record holder for most Americans killed in a war. But again, in the twentieth century on up to the Y2k, the brink of the 21st century, no bombs fell on the United States of America. 

  Enter the twenty first century. Y2k should have alerted us, that this new century, the 21st, was going to be vastly different. About a year into this new century on September eleventh of 2001, we were bombed from within by Islamist terrorists. The hateful extremists hit multiple targets, specific targets, designed to really hurt. They stabbed at our financial pride by attacking the Twin Towers. They stabbed directly at our government  by attacking the capital city itself. They even targeted the heart of our military prowess, by attacking the Pentagon in Washington DC. There was another target in our capital city that was targeted, but that plane never made it. Because every day citizens like those in the past, didn't cower in fear, but fought back and saved many lives. Brave, gritty, tough, take no nonsense Americans sacrificed their lives to save others. Sound familiar? This was the beginning of a whole other time, one of fear and confusion. 

  So yeah, you can say I'm a twentieth century man, I wear it as a badge of honor. But in staying with the theme. The twentieth century club is not only one you join by your age, but there are also females within our ranks. People who love the truth and hate lies! And more importantly, people who are willing to stand unashamed against the madness and say NO! Enough stupidity, no more leading with hurt feelings, but rather return to common sense. We need men to remember manhood again and be themselves. This country desperately needs more Alpha males, or as the left calls them, toxic males? Toxic Males, it has a nice ring to it. Someone, hopefully me, will start cranking out Proud to be a Toxic Male tee shirts. I can see the sportswear brand already.
