In the last couple of years we’ve seen all the circus surrounding CA octomom, who decided to have 14 children (6 older children and octuplets) without a husband and without any means of supporting them. We’ve seen Lohn Gosselin, who appeared on John and Kate+ 8 and who left his family with 8 children. But let’s remember the McCoys, this great family from Carlyle Iowa, who in my opinion represents what’s great about this country.
Bobby and Kenny McCoy are parents of the first surviving septuplets. The whole community came to their aid. They received a 5500 sq.ft house, a van and hundreds of hours of volunteer baby sitting from the community. This couple reported that challenges experienced by them only made them stronger. Two of their septuplets: Nathan and Alexis, were born with cerebral palsy and were told that they will never walk. Nathan is walking now and Alexis is walking with the aid of a walker. You can watch the clip posted above and see a great family and great kids.
For the last week we were watching successes of the US Olympians. Among them is a gold medalist in gymnastics Gaby Douglas. What is remarkable, is not only a strong routine of vaults and saltos that Gaby did, but also the fact that a Midwest family in Iowa took Gaby in their home, gave her a room in their house, fed her, treated her as their own for a couple of years in order to help this girl become a great gymnast and an Olympic champion. They did it without asking for a cent, out f goodness of their heart. This white Midwestern family did not care, whether Gaby is white or black. They simply showed generosity, the same generosity and adherence to the golden rule that enabled Midwesterners to recover from flooding and droughts and fires and tornadoes: neighbor helping neighbor. This recent administration has been probably the most divisive in the US history, sicking race against race, one group of people against another. It is time to go back to values that made this country great: helping each other and help end this divisive administration.

What’s made this Country Strong are all the past Great Patriots.
The Greatest Patriot we have at the Present time is our Great Leader Dr. Orly Taitz, Esq.
“Smilin’ Pete Gabriel you seems to be attacking our Great leader’s INTELLIGENCE. She is a Doctor, Lawyer, and speaks Five Languages.
Does that equate to a dumb person to you?
Oh, “Smilin Pete Gabtiel” how do your Academic Accomplishments stack up against our Great Leader’s Academic Accomplishments?
Now tell the truth Pete, your Academic Accomplishments fall way short of our Great Leader’s Academic Accomplishments don’t they.
Pete if you are Brilliant, why are you making us all think you are a Complete Idiot by making such Idiotic Postings, here on our Great Leader’s Web-Site. Just be thankful that she let’s you post at all.
