Rant of the Week
Definition of a Veteran:
A veteran is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to "The United States of America ", for an amount "up to and including my life."
That is honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it.
Our pResident sure doesn't understand the meaning of the word "Honor" . Instead, it seems that his goal in life is to apologize to every second and third world dictator for any American actions against them, both real or perceived, while he emulates their actions here at home.
He bows to the king of Saudi Arabia while treating the Head of State of our oldest ally as if she were the new kitchen maid.
He applauds a would-be dictator when that "democratically elected" President decides that his country's Constitution really shouldn't apply to him when it limits his term in office (thankfully, the military of that nation didn't forget THEIR oaths to that Constitution! Hope ours do the same if the same situation arises here !) He nationalizes our banking system and over a third of our automotive manufacturing with nothing more than a Presidential fiat, with the aid of a willing Congress and compliant Mass Media. He refuses to comply with a simple request mandated by our Constitution to prove that he's a native son; indeed, he spends hundreds of thousands of dollars fighting disclosure of what SHOULD be public record, and is aided and abetted in this by a Supreme Court that has abrogated it's main responsibility to uphold and protect the Constitution.
Tomorrow we celebrate the 233Rd birthday of our Nation. The Founders must be spinning in their graves to see what this last generation has done to their "Noble Experiment". I feel that if Patrick Henry were alive today he would be reminding us that the "roots of the Tree of Liberty needs replenishing from time to time with the blood of Patriots and Tyrants" and that the time to do so is coming overdue.
Please, find a Tea Party in your local area on this July the 4th and spend a few hours telling our government that We the People are still, and of a right SHOULD BE, in charge.
DON'T let Mr. Obama create a Federal cult of personality and run roughshod over the rights of our Citizens. We have the responsibility to take back the reins of power; whether it is done by persuasion at the ballot box, or by force of arms, may soon become the question.
If we do nothing, we deserve the chains that will be placed upon us, and we will DESERVE the condemnation placed upon our memories by our succeeding generations.
