We lost a little boy last December, who was 14 months old, due to birth defects and subsequent surgeries. Obama’s healthcare garbage is the thing that really got us moving...so Joey didn't have to lie around dying in the future while government made us fill out forms in triplicate. All tallied up I'm sure Joey's medical bills wouldn't have balanced to what he could offer society so we feared our government would be more than happy to let him die via denial of care funding. In the end, the Lord took him mercifully, in his sleep, one morning right after Christmas. We GREATLY miss Joe. We still need to look after the future of our daughters...that is why the fight continues.
In the end, I don't want my kids looking back at my actions and asking, “Dad, why didn't you do something to save the Republic and bring us back to Constitutional government?”
But following the status quo, twisted power grabbing, politics-is-a-career politicians that naturally tend toward compromises to hold power...that is a recipe for the destruction of our Republic. It may already be too late. Too few are waking up too slow and getting out of the party rut. We have all been conditioned by history and the status quo...and it's not a good thing. Compromise by compromise, precedent by precedent...we drift further from Constitution no matter which party is in power.
Off of soap box....back to day job...
Bless you and your family. You are a brave man.
