Last Chance for My America?

As I watch the 9/12 rally and march on Washington DC, I have a sad feeling within me because I'm afraid that this could very possibly be America's last opportunity to right itself from her slow decent into Socialism. If concerned citizens are unsuccessful in stopping Congress and our President from continuing on their current path, I don't know if we will ever have another chance to reverse direction. If politicians continue to ignore the obvious will of the people and push through their socialist agendas, beginning with a National Health Care program, then our voices just don't carry that much weight as apposed to political favors and pay backs. Even Republicans in Congress are having a difficult time taking a stand against the flow and pressure to conform. I believe the system (the political machine) is corrupt. It has had so much free reign for so many years that "We The People" don't even understand the totality of the problem.

I'm reminded of my dad, who, like many men of his generation, fought for Americas freedom in WWII. He never talked about his time spent as a PFC in the infantry, just calling it WWII or "The Big One". But this I do know: He was inducted into service June 21st, 1944 and returned to the United States on August 29th, 1945. He was assigned as a specialty anti-tank crewman, part of the 10th infantry. He fought in battles and campaigns in the Ardennes, Rhineland and Central Europe. By the time he was discharged he received The Victory Medal of the American Theater, The European, African, & Middle Eastern Theater Ribbon, including 3 Bronze Battle Stars. He received an Overseas Service Bar, Good Conduct Medal and the Medal of Army Occupation, Germany.

My dad died of lung cancer in 1998. On his death bed, under the influence of pain medication, his mind brought him back to "THE BIG ONE". He finally said a few words of his time serving his Country. "Hup, Two, Three, Four!", he would say. "Those who have two good legs, help them with one", he said......................... I miss him, he was a great patriot who flew the American Flag in his front yard every day, illuminated at night.

My dad died well before the terrorist attacks on 9/11, and he never saw the slide of his country into Socialism and the weakening of our defenses. If he were alive today, I would be standing beside him on the front lawn of the White House, once again fighting for the freedom of the United States of America!

Left Scores One

I'm tempted to give the Obama administration credit for pulling one over on the talking heads of the right. After the administration released some details of the Presidents speech and lesson plan for school children, conservatives reacted strongly. The core of the matter was the proposed lesson plan that would have students ask themselves "What can I do to help the President achieve his goals."
Quite naturally, everyone went off on that. We're pretty skeptical of the motives of the President because he has taken this country on a wild ride to the far left. We were concerned prior to his election about his socialistic tendencies and lack of media research on his questionable associations of the past. Since his election, we believe our concerns are justified by the actions he has taken thus far. We all know that in order to change the future, you need to capture the young and the younger, the better. So, here we are with a President asking students to help him rather than pledging allegiance to the United States of America.
So here's the deal. The President's speech turns out to be totally innocuous and the lesson plan is changed to asking students to write about how they can achieve their short-term and long-term goals. The talking heads of the left are using the opportunity to make right sided heads look like over-reacting alarmists by airing clips of comments made prior to the lesson change and then comparing that to the revised speech. To the viewers of these shows (there aren't that many any more) we may have come off as looking kind of petty. So for this, I just might give Obama coo-dos for pulling off a bait-and-switch on the right!

Just as a side note: Glen Beck said that Keith Oberman was going to dig up dirt on him because Van Jones was forced to resign. I watched Keith's show to see what he got so far. Keith said, what more can we tell you, what can be worse than this, the fact that he (Glen) is "Glen Beck"! Hmm.........
