Cdl Lopez-Trujillo Makes Good Waves

Cdl. Lopez-Trujillo is by no means a fellow who engages in 'diplo-speak.' He says what he thinks, clearly and usually forcefully.

If we pay close attention to all the great things the USA has done, all the way down to the grassroots level, and all that we share with other nations, rather than hoard, the only logical conclusion is that there is a lot about the USA that is great and good and righteous and which deserves to be acknowledged, especially in the face of such an obvious agenda by the lefties and the libtards and the democrats to swing the pendulum in the direction of our enemies.

Yes, we are the good guys. I challenge those opposed to the USA: if we’re so oppressive why do so many people we oppress seem to rush here at first chance? It’s because they like us, get it?

Happy Birthday, America. Be strong, be brave, and be proud. May God Bless the USA.

God bless!
