MEMORIAL DAY
Memorial Day began shortly after the Civil War and commemorates U.S. men and women who died in military service. With the celebration of the recent success in capturing Bin Laden and our continuing War on Terror, it is easy to forget the price many heroes have paid to secure our freedom. But we must always honor those who have died to keep us free. Their sacrifice is the greatest of all.
No group of Americans better demonstrates what sacrifice means than those fighting and dying across the world for man's freedom. Regardless of your political viewpoint, you must support and respect the Americans engaged in wars and conflicts in the defense not only of our free country, but also in support of oppressed people across the globe. With instability and uprisings worldwide there's no more important time to stand for freedom. Men and women in the U. S. armed forces live on The Freedom Train every day.
I am strengthened by each and every soldier, veteran, and military family sacrificing for this great country, and I grieve for every fallen soldier who returns in a wooden box. I pray for the day when military conflicts worldwide are a thing of the past and all countries live in harmony alongside each other.
But until that time, our military makes sacrifices many of us would not make. From the bottom of my heart, I thank you.

THEY DON'T GET IT!
All day today the radio/TV has had pundits proclaiming the demise of the Republican party. Even the Ever Present Gibbs (Obama press secretary) proclaims that the Republicans are destroying themselves with a big split within the party.
Well, I disagree. It's time the Republican party got a good scolding. They have been too non-conservative for too long, many of the Bush years included, and now "the chickens have come home to roost."
So let the mud begin. I mean the mud slinging that O'Donnell is going to have to endure for the next couple of months. You know that the Dems will try to destroy her, but now the Reps too? My, how far we have fallen.
Anything in her past will now become fair game. But at least her past is public, any failures, conflicts, college records, financial records, everything, all out there for public scrutiny.
Unlike Obama's records, ALL OF THEM, which are hermetically sealed in a fruit jar in a secret safe room somewhere, never again to be open to the public. It's a secret, don't you know? After all, he's only the president, the most powerful man in the world. But golly gee, he shouldn't be required to release anything about his past for us, his subjects, to peruse.
So let me give you my position on O'Donnell. Even if she "kicked the husband and the kids and the dog on the way out the door," she'd STILL be less evil than the old RINO's in Washington.
Even if she used campaign funds for something personal, which is just an accusation, it's still far better than the permanently-in-place politicians who continue to pass bogus stimulus (can you say spending) bills by the hundreds, along with health care packages, and union bail outs, just so they can funnel OUR TAX DOLLARS to their equally bogus special interests.
Talk about ethics and the use of money? No one defies ethics better than the RINOs and DEMS in Washington.
RINOS, welcome to the NEW face of the Republican Party. The old men are being replaced with young men and women who are fighting to bring some fiscal responsibility and the Constitution back to Washington.
The old men don't know how to combat this revival of the party and they are running scared.
I say keep running and Good Riddance.
