My post from 2008 (excerpt)
I have always been a person who has looked at the glass as being half full, I have taken heart in our small victory’s of revealing political malfeasance in office only to see them remain in power. I have seen the people we have elected and believed in, go to Washington and become nothing more than washed out shell of why we elected them.. I have been naive in believing that our country would always be on the side of right and our that our Constitution would never be abridged. I, naively, believed that if we were on the edge of destruction, true patriots would emerge and fight back and save our nation. I have seen none, they are not there, all we have are politicians with their main goal is self, clutching to their power as a child would of his security blanket.
I love it. That was wonderful. I would probably change the ending if it were me. It is a bad order to say that right after the wonderfully strong statements about terrorism. It is a good statement that applies and I am sure people will get it. I’m just me, I would have tweaked that a little.
[true patriots would emerge and fight back and save our nation. I have seen none, they are not there]
I think you may be referring that part, if it is, I can understand.
Things HAVE changed because we have two that are true patriots fighting for our country.
