First, thank you for your service and welcome home. Second the PTSD was a joke response to your PDS comment. I came home unharmed and much more appreciative of liberty then ever. You ring up pretty easy for a Marine but I truly respect and bow to any Marine anywhere, anytime. If I offended you I apologize you deserve and have earned my respect.

Now to the Issue. I have been a great fan of Palin. Have an autographed book and have donated nontrivial dollars to her PAC and to her. My issue comes from seeing her save the election for John McCain a man I both honor and consider a treacherous politician harmful to the conservative movement. The other thing that has given me pause is her unwillingness to hardline on immigration. Wishwashy doesn’t look good on her I had hoped for better. There is still time and she is the least worse of the republican lot. I am, by the way, not a republican, I am a conservative I left the party after it started moving left, in my view, under Bush 1. I do not subscribe to blind loyalty except to my God, my country and the constitution.

PS I am Gen 4 Californian and it breaks my heart to see what has happened to our state. Fourty Six was the year of my birth by the way.

Have a blessed easter .... He is risen.

Thank you for you service also. Welcome home, brother. I too meant no real offense, and apoligize for my sarcasams in the heat of political discussion....

I believe that Palin’s stance, as a potential 2012 Presidential candidate, will of necessity, always be stated as following the Law in a positive manner... ie “I support legal immigration.” Remedial policy to deal with illegal immigration is best left for after her election. I trust that, given her obvious Patriotism, Palin, as President, will address illegal immigration forthrightly. She will need a conservative Republican Congress to help her.... We already know what the Democrates have in store for us.....Holy heck! They intend to sell out/dilute our birthright as Americans in order to cement political power for the present, and for the distant future......

When Swartzkoff returned from Vietnam, he had decided to put an end to his military career and resign his commission, because he did not like the attitudes, ethics, politics, etc that had evolved in the Post WWII Army . A General convinced him that if he really cared about the Army, and his Nation, he should stay in, and be a force to
improve/rebuild the Army. It was a convincing argument and I believe that the Army, and the country benifited from his decision to stay.....

Change always comes easiest from within.... thats why Sarah always says that she is a Republican, despite it’s current flaws......I, like General Scwartzkoff, intend to stay and fight for the soul of the Republican Party, and for the soul of our beloved Republic.... would you consider returning Home and helping me in this struggle from within?

Yes, “He has Risen” and that fact alone gives me confidence in our nation’s future......Be of stout heart, and good cheer.....Dedicate yourself to our nation’s Rebirth....

Happy Easter.........

I believe that Palin’s stance, as a potential 2012 Presidential candidate, will of necessity, always be stated as following the Law in a positive manner... ie “I support legal immigration.” I take that at face value.

Statements defining remedial policy to deal with illegal immigration are best left for after her election. Its thae nature of politics.

I trust that, given her obvious Patriotism, Palin, as President, will address illegal immigration forthrightly. She will need a conservative Republican Congress to help her.... We already know what the Democrats have in store for us.....Holy heck Batman! They intend to sell out/dilute our birthright as Americans in order to cement political power for the near present, and on into the distant future......

Yes I understood “’46” was the year of your birth....I mis wrote in my response....boy time has flown hasn’t it? I’m getting senile...LOLOLOLOL

Happy Easter Breto......... 1849er LOLOLOL
