I didn't ask my twin sons to serve their country, they told me they had made the decision to serve and they enlisted in the Marine Corps. Before they raised their hands, we talked about military service and obedience to orders from the Commander-In-Chief, regardless of their political affiliation or his.

One of them replied: "Our country has been attacked and our fellow citizens blood was spilled on our soil. Those who did it will do it again unless they are stopped. It's about America and our future. My country needs me and I feel the desire to answer the call and serve my country. It's not about politics, Dad."

Congratulations Chief. You are the sole replier in 2 hours! That's kinda brass a Marines has.

Now as for it not being about politics, I disagree. If our leaders/legislators were obeying their Oath of Office instead of following the Communist Manifesto, I would agree with you. The policies differences between the Democrats and the Republicans is so fine that we need a microscope to determine just who writes the Bills nowadays.

Hillary is spouting off about how she supports a secure border and our fine Republican President doesn't have the cajones to think it is his duty to keep us safe from a terrorist who wants to carry a suitcase with a nuclear or bio bomb in it across the border with the illegal aliens keeping a lookout for the Border Patrol. He would rather support globalism than the Constitution.

When there was obvious, clear cut differences between the two parties in every vote that's when politics didn't enter the picture. Today their goals are so intertwined I have to study a Bill to determine whether it was written by a Democrat or a Republican. Key conservative principles no longer exist. Assistance, tolerance and appeasement of our enemies seem to be the main goals of both parties these days and I cannot support them.

I have got that set of principles, them ones that are old,
they get in my way, 'cause they just won't fold.

Some so-called Moms think they're raising boys. You and I were raising men. Sometimes I miss my baby boy, but I'm more pleased with the man he's become. I don't understand why any Mom would want her sons to be babies forever.
