I served my country with pride and respect for those who had done so before me. I've experienced the rewards that came from the morals and ethics passed down to me by my parents and the American culture of the 1940's and 50's.
I am sad to say that I fear for the country my grandson will inherit, yet I feel some relief that I won't be around to see it.
Nothing in our nation's recent past is more disgusting or embarrassing than the behavior of our congress when it comes to enforcing our immigration laws.
My God, what must our troops in Iraq think when they hear our leaders say they not only refuse to defend our own borders but, they advocate giving lawbreakers more rights and privileges than natural born citizens?
I am an Army vet (drafted June'66 - discharged June'68), a Red Raider ('72), former liberal democrat and X-California resident. I once believed in what I thought were the core values of the democrat party until I built a home near the California coast. My extended battle with 'environmentally concerned' neighbors, some from as far away as the next county, opened my eyes to the fringe element that hijacked the party while I wasn't paying attention. I've paid close attention since then.
THIS IS WHAT LIBERALS TAUGHT ME ABOUT INCREMENTALISM:
When I was a democrat I believed in what I thought was a woman's right to choose. I didn't think about teenage girls having abortions arranged at school without parental consent: BUT LIBERALS did!
I believed in helping immigrant kids learn at their own rate. I didn't think bilingual education would lead to an entire generation of Latino immigrants who couldn't function in our job market ending up dependent on the government: BUT LIBERALS did!
I wanted racial equality. I never thought affirmative action would lead to a new form of discrimination and ghettos populated with crack addicted children having babies. BUT LIBERALS did!
I worked on the very first Earth Day because I believed in a clean environment. I never thought the movement would lead to taking land from private property owners or restricting what lane people could drive in. BUT LIBERALS did!
I believed that gay people were dealing with their own private problem and shouldn't be punished for it. I never though it would lead to men "marrying" their boyfriends, NAMBLA seeking equality in perversion and government paying for sex change operations. BUT LIBERALS did!
Liberals are usually many steps ahead of what the general population is debating. They are dangerous, devious and often seem to be hateful at heart. When well intentioned things go bad ...when programs go astray, you may say to yourself, "I never thought it would turn out this way."
--- Just remember, LIBERALS DID - THEY ALWAYS DID!
SO WHAT WOULD I DO, IF I COULD?
If I were King for a day;
*I would return us to a time when we were governed by a part time legislature of CITIZEN VOLUNTEERS.
*I would enforce strict term limits.
* I would prohibit a candidate from taking campaign donations from outside their district.
*I would limit their pay to the median income of the district they represent.
*I would deny them any insurances, perks or pensions not available to their constituents.
*I would make them subject to all laws governing the rest of the population.
*No elected office holder would be allowed to run for office without resigning from the one they already hold.
*I would make them do their own taxes.
*I would end employer withholding of income tax and make taxes payable in one lump sum just once a year.
*I would change election day to the first weekend after April 15.
*And I would allow citizens to approve or deny the application of their personal income tax dollars to certain areas of government subsidization - such as NPR, NEA.
Here's a great political lesson

Especially, during Fleet Week in S.F. when they fly right down town in defiance of liberal appeasement insanity.
When I get to Heaven if there are no dogs there, I will ask to be sent to where they are...

DO THE NUMBERS!
There were over 50,000,000 people who voted conservative in the last presidential election. If 50,000,000 people each gave one dollar per month to one organization, at the end of the year that organization would have received $600,000,000. If just 10% of those 50,000,000 people gave one dollar to one organization, the organization would still have $60,000,000 at the end of the year and each person would only have spent $12.00 for the whole year on freedom. Can you imagine what one organization could do with $60,000,000? But say instead, that those 10% of 50,000,000 people (or 5,000,000 people) gave one dollar each month to 10 organizations. Each of the 10 organization would have $6,000,000 at the end of the year, a tidy sum. This is the power of numbers and it works.
The problem is; those 50,000,000 who voted conservative in the last election did so to choose the lesser of two evils and really had no one to believe in or put their trust into enough to open their wallets.
ANOTHER THING TO THINK ABOUT:
If we had a powerful leader to believe in and every voter who voted (R) in the last election would recruit JUST ONE single voter to join us the liberals and their socialist movement would never be heard from again. Our children and grand children would be virtually guaranteed a life of liberty as we have been lucky enough to live.
And what about that" HILLARY CLINTON for PRESIDENT?" movie we watched recently?
In October of 2007 Hillary Clinton appointed convicted felon Sandy Berger to her staff as senior foreign affairs adviser. When Berger escaped testimony in his trial for stealing and destroying Top Secret government documents from the National Archives he avoided testifying under oath as to who put him up to the task of helping derail the 9/11 Commission investigation, what the documents were or if he actually destroyed them. For all we know he could have stolen valuable intelligence and passed it straight to Iran, China or S. Korea and may continue to do so if given the chance again.
Hillary Clinton proposed to give him that chance. Had she gotten the democrat nomination for President she would heve received daily intelligence briefings on everything the White House is dealing with in foreign matters and Sandy Berger would have been helping her analyze that intel.
Whether Mrs. Clinton changed her mind about this appointment or not, the fact that she thumbed her nose at America by making this decision in the first place should be all the American voters need to know about the character of this woman who attempted to gain the highest office in the land and possibly become the most powerful politician in the world.
ONE MORE THING!
In 1993, six months after Bill Clinton took office special White House Counsel Vince Foster was found dead, his body apparently dumped in a wooded public park.
The gun in his hand did not have his finger prints on it. His wife said he had a silver gun - the one in his hand was black. The Secret Service reported that his body was found in his car. The most sophisticated security surveillance system on earth in our White House did not show him leaving the grounds, the building or his office on any of more than 300 cameras. None of the manned and gated entry/ exit points showed records of him leaving the premises. Upon Hillary Clinton's orders his office was quarantined and ransacked before FBI could investigate it. The White House said he committed suicide. Every member of Congress and the Justice department, republicans and democrats alike said, "That's good enough for us!" And you have probably voted for some of these people ...case closed.
