I received an email this morning from a reliable source that contained an article allegedly written by one Dave Ramsey. I replied to the email asking if I could have Dave’s original email because I wanted to contact him. I don’t know if this is the same Dave Ramsey that I knew back in 1965 when he was a fresh-caught 2dLt. out of TBS. The Dave I know graciously wrote the Foreword for my book. I was his first plt sgt in Co B, Schools Demonstration Troops (SDT) at Quantico, VA, in 1965. Dave retired as a Col, USMCR. It may not be the same Dave Ramsey. It could be the Dave Ramsey from Ramsey Solutions, but it doesn’t matter.

Dave says it all. I’m certain any one of us on here could have written it exactly as he did. We live in a strange, upside-down, aggravating, dangerous, and frustrating world. I am of the opinion that our country is on the brink of total disaster, much moreso than many countries throughout the world. To even consider that there are countries that are doing very well today, while we slowly crumble. Sadly, we have no one to blame but ourselves.  And it appears the only thing we can do about it is await the second coming of the Lord.

Here’s Dave’s article:

“This morning, I realized that everything is about to change. No matter how I vote, no matter what I say, lives are never going to be the same. I have been confused by the hostility of family and friends. I look at people I have known all my life, so hate-filled that they agree with opinions they would never express as their own. I think that I may well have entered the Twilight Zone. You can’t justify this insanity. We have become a nation that has lost its collective sense of direction. We see other countries going Socialist and collapsing, but it seems like a great plan to us. Somehow, it’s un-American for the census to count how many Americans are in America. People who say there is no such thing as gender are demanding a female President. Universities that advocate equality discriminate against Asian-Americans in favor of African-Americans. Some people are held responsible for things that happened before they were born, while others are not held responsible for their actions at present.    Criminals are caught-and-released to hurt more people, but stopping them is bad because it’s a violation of THEIR rights. People who have never owned slaves should pay slavery reparations to people who have never been slaves.After legislating gender, if a dude pretends to be a woman, you are required to pretend with him. It was cool for Joe Biden to “blackmail” the President of Ukraine, but it’s an impeachable offense if Donald Trump inquires about it. People who have never been to college should pay the debts of college students who took out huge loans for their degrees. Immigrants with tuberculosis and polio are welcome, but you’d better be able to prove your dog is vaccinated. Irish doctors and German engineers who want to immigrate to the US must go through a rigorous vetting process, but any illiterate gang-bangers who jump the southern fence are welcomed. Five billion dollars for border security is too expensive, but $1.5 trillion for “free” health care is not. If you cheat to get into college, you go to prison, but if you cheat to get into the country, you go to college for free. And, pointing out all this hypocrisy somehow makes us “racists”! Nothing makes sense anymore, no values, no morals, no civility, and people were dying of a Chinese virus, but it was racist to refer to it as Chinese, even though it began in China. We are clearly living in an upside-down world where right is wrong and wrong is right, where moral is immoral and immoral is moral, where good is evil and evil is good, where killing murderers is wrong, but killing innocent babies is right. Wake up, America. The great unsinkable ship Titanic America has hit an iceberg, is taking on water, and sinking fast.”

Thank you, Dave, wherever you are, my friend. God Bless!
