I served my country with pride and respect for those who had done so before me and experienced the rewards that came from the morals and ethics passed down to me by my parents and the American culture of the 1940's and 50's.
I am sad to say that I fear for the country my grandson will inherit, yet I feel some relief that I won't be around to see it.
Nothing in our nation's recent past is more disgusting or embarrassing than the behavior of our current congress and administration when it comes to enforcing our immigration laws.
My God, what must our troops in Iraq think when they hear our leaders say they not only refuse to defend our own borders but, they advocate giving lawbreakers more rights and privileges than natural born citizens?
I am an Army vet (drafted June'66 - discharged June'68), a Red Raider ('72), former liberal democrat and X-California resident. I once believed in what I thought were the core values of the democrat party until I built a home near the California coast. My extended battle with 'environmentally concerned' neighbors, some from as far away as the next county, opened my eyes to the fringe element that hijacked the party while I wasn't paying attention. I've paid close attention since then.
THIS IS WHAT LIBERALS TAUGHT ME ABOUT INCREMENTALISM:
When I was a democrat I believed in what I thought was a woman's right to choose. I didn't think about teenage girls having abortions arranged at school without parental consent: BUT LIBERALS did!
I believed in helping immigrant kids learn at their own rate. I didn't think bilingual education would lead to an entire generation of Latino immigrants who couldn't function in our job market ending up dependent on the government: BUT LIBERALS did!
I wanted racial equality. I never thought affirmative action would lead to a new form of discrimination and ghettos populated with crack addicted children having babies. BUT LIBERALS did!
I worked on the very first Earth Day because I believed in a clean environment. I never thought the movement would lead to taking land from private property owners or restricting what lane people could drive in. BUT LIBERALS did!
I believed that gay people were dealing with their own private problem and shouldn't be punished for it. I never though it would lead to men "marrying" their boyfriends, NAMBLA seeking equality in perversion and government paying for sex change operations. BUT LIBERALS did!
Liberals are usually many steps ahead of what the general population is debating. They are dangerous, devious and hateful at heart. When well intentioned things go bad ...when programs go astray, you may say to yourself, "I never thought it would turn out this way."
--- Just remember, LIBERALS DID - THEY ALWAYS DID!
SO WHAT WOULD I DO, IF I COULD?
If I were King for a day;
*I would return us to a time when we were governed by a part time legislature of CITIZEN VOLUNTEERS.
*I would enforce strict term limits.
* I would prohibit a candidate from taking campaign donations from outside their district.
*I would limit their pay to the median income of the district they represent.
*I would deny them any insurances, percs or pensions not available to their constituents.
*I would make them subject to all laws governing the population.
*No elected office holder would be allowed to run for office without resigning from the one they hold.
*I would make them do their own taxes.
*I would end employer withholding of income tax and make taxes payable in one lump sum just once a year.
*I would change election day to the first Tuesday after April 15.
*And I would allow citizens to approve or deny the application of their personal income tax dollars to certain areas of government subsidization - such as NPR, NEA.
Here's a great political lesson

AND I LOOOOVE the Blue Angels...->
Especially, during Fleet Week in S.F. when they fly right down town in defiance of liberal appeasement insanity.
When I get to Heaven if there are no dogs there, I will ask to be sent to where they are...
Years of competitive bicycle racing taught me volumes about teamwork, sacrifice and what's in my own heart when the wind is in my face and road tilts up!
Sports don't build character, they expose it!

HILLARY CLINTON for PRESIDENT?
In October of 2007 Hillary Clinton appointed convicted felon Sandy Berger to her staff as senior foreign affairs adviser. When Berger escaped testimony in his trial for stealing and destroying Top Secret government documents from the National Archives he avoided testifying under oath as to who put him up to the task of helping derail the 9/11 Commission investigation, what the documents were or if he actually destroyed them. For all we know he could have stolen valuable intelligence and passed it straight to Iran, China or S. Korea and may continue to do so if given the chance again.
Now, Hillary Clinton proposes to give him that chance. For when she gets the democrat nomination for President she will get daily intelligence briefings on everything the White House is dealing with in foreign matters and Sandy Berger will be helping her analyze that intel.
Whether Mrs. Clinton changes her mind about this appointment or not, the fact that she thumbed her nose at America by making this decision in the first place should be all the American voters need to know about the character of this woman who is attempting to gain the highest office in the land and possibly become the most powerful politician in the world.
ONE MORE THING!
In 1993, six months after Bill Clinton took office special White House Counsel Vince Foster was found dead, his body apparently dumped in a wooded public park.
The gun in his hand did not have his finger prints on it. His wife said he had a silver gun - the one in his hand was black. The Secret Service reported that his body was found in his car. The most sophisticated security surveillance system on earth in our White House did not show him leaving the grounds, the building or his office on any of more than 300 cameras. None of the manned and gated entry/ exit points showed records of him leaving the premises. Upon Hillary Clinton's orders his office was quarantined and ransacked before FBI could investigate it. The White House said he committed suicide. Every member of Congress and the Justice department, republicans and democrats alike said, "That's good enough for us!" And you have probably voted for some of these people ...case closed.
