Have Americans lost the war against terrorism?

"Oh, say, can you see, by the dawn's early light,
What so proudly we hail'd at the twilight's last gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars, thro' the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watch'd, were so gallantly streaming?"

This song has much meaning for different people in the United States. It is often sung before sports games, on new years, and among church groups--especially around the fourth of July.  But have you noticed what the song implies?

It speaks of "broad stripes and bright starts."  These are symbols of purity, valor, and justice!  This comes from the flag of the United States of America!

Somehow, this flag has been taken out of homes, destroyed publicly, and sometimes banned from schools!  This makes no sense!  The confederate flag is flown more often than the American flag nowadays.

It seems that America is now being taken over from the inside.  Terrorists of many kinds have been infiltrating our system.  There are some who take lives, but there are many more who steal freedom, liberties, and righteousness.  

Personal flags are being cut down:

Rogue apartment managers are requiring the removal of the symbol of freedom:

Even police officers are denied the right to show their patriotism!:

This begs the question: Have Americans already lost the war against terrorism?  They are allowing the terrorists against freedom to destroy our government values.  They are destroying our symbols of hope.  They are diminishing our rights!  This is only the beginning.

What ever happened to presidents of the United States who actually DEFENDED the Americans?  Once, in 1961, it was said, 

"...my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you — ask what you can do for your country."

The invitation extended further:

"My fellow citizens of the world: ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man."

Don't we want the freedom of man?  Who would not want that?  Only those who wish to have power.  Those who desire money more than brotherhood.  Those who want to terrorize our rights.

What will happen next?  Will Americans step up to the plate and once again ask themselves, "what can I do for my country?" or will they continue to beg the terrorists to dictate what they can and can't do--such as the case with the supreme court ruling fad.

Here's a tip: Don't look to the supreme court to rule this country.  Take control of it yourselves. 

This country is not made up by its government!  This country is derived from its citizens!
