To the Editor:
This is a clarion call to arms, not guns. We’ve been there and done that, but rather a call to hands and mouths in order to take back what we lived and died for.
We lived during or shortly after the “Great Depression” We fought and won World War II , fought in Korea and Vietnam freed tens of millions from dictatorial and repressive regimes, while losing millions of our fathers, brothers, uncles and cousins.
We built one of the greatest economic and strongest democratic nations that the world has ever seen and rebuilt the nations of our enemies while we were at it.
Over the last five decades, while we were working to improve our lifestyle, educate our children and plan for the rewards of a retirement without worry, we allowed socialist minded politicians and “elite academics” (in their own minds) who never did an honest days work, lived off their parents and feed at the troth of government to infiltrate our educational institutions and all levels of government to brainwash our children and grandchildren, demean the family, our Judeo-Christian values, steal our retirement, our legacy and our ability to leave our hard earned wealth to future generations.
Oh yes, not to mention these are the same (ashamed of their parents and our country) radicals, many of whom evaded the draft by going to college or joining the peace corps, marching in the streets, smoking dope, singing “Kumbaya,” gave comfort to our enemies and for the most part were responsible for our loss of the Vietnam War and the lives of tens of thousands more of our sons and brothers. Is history repeating itself?
These lying thieving, elitists, social engineers (regardless of party affiliation) are stealing our legacy and our money at the same time. As we watch, they are hocking the future of our grandchildren and great grandchildren with no end in sight. Time is running out!
Throwing our money into a never ending cesspool of failed social programs, jobs that provide excellent benefits and more unfunded liabilities. Instead of being “The Great Society,” it is now called a “Stimulus Package.”
I doubt that you will be stimulated in view of the fact that our elected representatives have been responsible for the loss of trillions of dollars of our hard earned wealth that, with tongue in check, means we may have to die earlier than we thought we would. Funny. But sad!
Time may be running out for us, and if we let it, time will run out for our children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
If you are not seriously infirmed or in long term care, instead of worrying that you’ll lose your social security (another Ponzi Scheme) or your Medicare and drug program and convinced you are helpless to do anything, think back to the ’30s and ’40s. We did it once we can do it again! Take back our government and educational institutions. Don’t allow them to scare us and take our eye off the ball.
Stay focused!. Write or call your representative, senator (state and federal), our colleges and universities. They want your vote and your money. You’re not some old person whose time has past. Express you displeasure. Hold their feet to the fire. Write to the Supreme Court. They’re letting it happen while we talk but don’t walk the walk. Don’t be all talk and take no action.
Have dialogue with your children and grand children. Tell them what you did and why you did it. They won’t learn that in school. They don’t realize it yet but their future is at risk.
All you have to do is call or write. Frustrating and fruitless as it may seem, the pen is mightier than the sword.
That is a great post, can it be verified at all? I would like to use it in the future.
Thanks
I’ve been wondering for a long time when someone would make the connection between abandoned women and the slide into socialism.
His programs insured that the black gentleman who earned wages and sat at the head of the table was replaced by welfare checks and food stamps.
When we add his years in office to Nixon, Carter, Bush I, Clinton and now Obomba the end result is the totaling of America.

WWI-A needless war that we shouldn’t have entered.
\
WWII- We fought the war that was guaranteed by the ridiculous Versaille treaty, Russia added to their empire and we went home.
Korea-Stalemate against a third-rate nation. HST canned McArthur who would have won the war carrying it to China. Russia would have stayed home.
Vietnam-War waged by stupid politicians that guaranteed the handover of that nation to the communists.
I couldn’t edit something someone else wrote.
You would think, however, the paper would have done some editing, but then considering what’s working at editorial desks these days there’s no surprise.
With a son and two daughters I worried that they'd marry some liberal, but never happened.
My ten grandchildren have grown up conservative as well.
I know you didn’t do that.
Somehow I don’t think papers edit. They can’t even write things THEMSELVES that are correct. (Things really went downhill with the PC and word processing.)
In the old days if a piece such as this was printed, it’d be full of “(sic)” to show the reader that it a) wasn’t their fault and b) it’s not the correct way to write something. Double job, which probably helped keep people in line about grammar.
But enough complaining off-topic....
MacArthur's strategy of "denying the enemy bases" by definition involves continually advancing to prevent the enemy from developing new bases. Somehow I doubt a full-fledged invasion and conquest of a Red China of well over half a billion people backed up by a nuclear USSR was a good idea.
The Declaration of Independance says:
“ That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government....”
I say get rid of this one and get back to the Constititon as written.
