I love the philosophy of John F. Kennedy, where it's not what your country can do for you, but what can you do for your country. | |
Now it's just the opposite. | |
What is my country, or what is my state, or what is my city going to do for me? | |
My family is from Ireland. | |
I'm a first-generation Irish-American. | |
The opportunities in America are there. | |
I can become, in one generation, I can become a police chief, I can become a mayor of the city. | |
So can anybody else. | |
else you can just apply yourself and do what you need to do but at the same time you don't want to come in and say i'm an immigrant i'm undocumented i'm illegal now what can you do for me where's the work ethic where's the educational incentive where's that family values all the things that we proud to be american we're missing some of that right now There was a poll research that shows that 60% of young people now wouldn't even want to be drafted if the United States was attacked by an outside country. | |
That means that you just give your country away just by walking away. | |
It doesn't make sense. | |
Where's the patriotism? | |
Where's the sense of pride in your country? |
