Surprising Response

Friends, Americans and Patriots-



I would first like to say thank you for all of the funny, supportive and very true comments posted to my facebook account. I was pleasantly surprised to have that much of a response in such a short time. It is encouraging to have the support of ones friends and family. I also received a very good lead on a source of information which I have now added to my "resource library". I must say that I am embarrassed that it was not already my top resource. I sometimes get caught up in the politics and lose sight of the importance of a strong faith in God. In God we trust. One nation under God.....these principles are of paramount importance. Without them we have nothing and we are nothing. We might as well give up the keys to the world power muscle car that we have been in the drivers seat of for the last hundred years or so. Not to worry though because we can trade it in for a nice tin can hybrid. Of course when we are puttering around in our eco-friendly death wagon (which does not fit everyone so dissenters will be left behind) and the country that purchased our "trade-in" for pennies on the dollar plows into us we will no longer have the protection of those thousands of pounds of American steel. We will be at the mercy of all of the muscle cars, big rigs, and suvs on the road. Keep in mind that not all of those "drivers" are courteous and attentive and many are also uninsured. The point being that the United States is the most compassionate, giving, moral, and heroic nation there is. We should be the number 1 superpower because we earned it. Who comes to the aid of nations which are oppressed by tyrannical dictators, ravaged by disease, devastated by natural disasters, plagued by famine, and faced by threats by surrounding nations? Each and every person who has the privilege of being a citizen of this "The Greatest Nation On Earth" should get down on their knees and thank God each and every day. They should beam with pride at the playing of The Star Spangled Banner. They should feel a tingle every time they see Old Glory displayed. The United States of America has sacrificed more for freedom, justice and humanity on a WORLDWIDE basis than any nation in history. We give and we give and we give never asking for anything in return. Our "agenda" is not one of conquest. Ours is one of doing the right thing whether that is as a liberator, a response team, or simply as a "never-ending bankroll". We should never feel bad or feel compelled to "explain" our actions to our so-called allies or even our known enemies. The right way is not always popular. It does, however, stand strong as it's own reward.

My Take on Common Sense

Friends, Americans, Patriots-

I ask one simple question. What about the Constitution? Has this most noble of founding documents which was borne of the the blood sweat and tears of thousands of Patriots, which was conceived by some of the greatest thinkers this great nation has ever known, and which has stood the test of time through countless hardships and attempts to destroy the very liberty which it was designed to ensure become obsolete or irrelevant? I don't believe that it has. Any attempt to downplay or rationalize actions taken by our elected officials which are in direct conflict with the very explicit language of our Constitution is both irresponsible and uneducated. I would even go as far as to say that it is treasonous. The day to day political issues which the media hypes as "life or death" and "if we don't get it done now we may never get it done" are irrelevant when speaking of the outright assault on our Constitution and the liberty which the rest of the world covets so desperately. They are no more than smoke and mirrors. They serve no purpose beyond stimulating a strong emotional response. Most of the issues that are "important" enough to be labeled a "crisis" are very fleeting and usually turn out to be trivial in retrospect. The lion's share of our "elected politicians" couldn't fill a thimble with the integrity they show in their voting records. It doesn't matter the party affiliation because most of them are in the back pockets of one or several special interest groups. I believe that we need a "changing of the guard". We need elected officials who understand that a government with too much power and reach is a truly dangerous thing. It is a short road to the loss of all of our freedoms when we become complacent or mesmerized by the haunting melody of a chant for "change". Change that seems outwardly positive but essentially tears down the foundation and the time tested principles to which the greatest nation in history has been steadfastly anchored and which have not ever failed those who are promised freedom therein. The only "tax" to be paid for success in a truly free nation is paid in a currency called "hard work and perseverance".


God Bless us all and this Great Nation as well
