I have never seen an administration whose every move is designed to destroy America. They don't even bother to try hiding the fact.

Keep watching. People don't realize who they are voting into office half the time. We need to be more vigilant in researching our candidates. If we keep electing people with no allegiance to our founding principles, one day those people will be making more and more decisions for those who wish to overthrow/destroy the USofA. As Phil Collins said, "I can feel in coming in the air tonight."

Thanks for your reply. We must keep spreading the word in support of our military heroes.

Now another hero and his family needs our prayers. Beverly says it better than I can here:

I listened to this all day and my heart breaks for Travis and his family and all our Troops! We have a quad amputee from Illinois, Sgt John Peck, and he is one of the bravest Americans I have ever had the honor to meet.
“While sustaining the worst of the injuries, he was still trying to help his soldiers, because that is the kind of man he is,” Kelsey Mills wrote. “He is the best man I know, and he does not deserve this pain. If I could take it all away, I would. The only thing we can do is be there for him in his darkest hour and help him find his way home.
“Keep the prayers flowing: It’s the only thing any of us can do while feeling so helpless. He has sacrificed more than anyone can imagine for this country. He is a true American hero, and he deserves all the respect and love in the world.”
Yes, Mrs Mills, Travis deserves all the respect and love in the world.
Travis stepped on an IED, LET ME REPEAT THAT, TRAVIS STEPPED ON AN IED, because our Troops were ordered out of their HUMVEES and ON FOOT, and his wife stated that in an interview today, that Travis was on FOOT PATROL!!!

Below is a quote:

“The counterinsurgency tactic that is sending U.S. soldiers out on foot patrols among the Afghan people, rather than riding in armored vehicles, has contributed to a dramatic increase in arm and leg amputations, genital injuries and the loss of multiple limbs following blast injuries. “

If I had General Petraeus’s phone number, I would call him and suggest he go over and join our Troops on foot patrol, and I would give his phone number to all of you and ask you to call him too! ENOUGH!!! We have done ENOUGH for the Afghan people and not one of them is worth any more of our Brave and Beautiful Sons and Daughters losing their limbs over!!! Please pick up your phone and call anyone you think can make a difference in this insane, cruel and worthless policy! ENOUGH! This foot patrol has got to stop!!! Our Sons and Daughters SHOULD NOT EVER BE sacrificial lambs for anyone, NOT EVER!

GENERAL PETRAEUS, STOP THE FOOT PATROL NOW!!! ENOUGH!!!
