Our Country Has Changed

The world that you and I grew up in no longer exists. I grew up in the 60s and 70s surrounded by relatives that we knew and trusted. Parents never thought about someone snatching a kid, child molesters or mass shootings at our schools. During the Vietnam era Cassius Clay and Lou Alcinder changed their name and religion to avoid military service. Islam would not allow them to kill another person, and this was an exemption to the military. Today radical Muslims are free to roam the country looking for Christians to kill. For the past four years thousands of murderers and child molesters have been flown and bussed throughout the country landing wherever they choose. Many child molesters use fake identification so they do not have to register with local law enforcement. I wonder why. They will often intermingle with the local community just to have access to children.
