On Patriotism


Uncle Sam is pictured here rolling up his sleeves. Not to start a fight, but to get to work. America used to roll up her sleeves and work when she had to, but lately she has been laying on her back. It seems that Americans don't want to work hard anymore, or so some would have the world believe. When the left tells us that we are "entitled" to a job or to money because the times are tough, well Americans used to get going when times got tough. In the eyes of the left I am a simple man, who clings to God and His grace because I don't know any better. I am a simple man and I am proud to say so. I don't take kindly to Americans apoligizing to the world for America's past. We cannot erase our past, it teaches us things. When we forget where we were, we forget how we got here and then anyone can tell our children lies about our past. It's not a perfect history, but we are doomed to repeat the mistakes of our fathers or maybe, their successes. We are in tough times, it's no secret, but in the lean times as in times of plenty, I cling to God. No matter what people tell you, America was founded on the priciples handed down to us by God in His word. Our Constitution, Bill of Rights and the Declaration of Independance are the foundations that hold the United States together. "Life, Libery, and the Pursuit of Happiness" are inalienable rights, not health care, unemployment money or houses that we didn't pay for. The next time someone says the words "Obama money", "free money", communism, socialism, or imperialism your ears should perk up. Pay attention to what is happening in America, because if you don't, this dream, this noble experiment that we call The United States of America will become a nightmare, and you won't know how it got that way.

Russian spy scandal

Is it just me, or did that spy swap sound a little fishy? What did we get out of the deal, besides our own spies back? Putin gives his fellow spy-types a heroe's welcome, but our own government just wants to get rid of them, instead of punishing them for trying to influence policy and possibly steal state secrets. It seems to me that the White House doesn't seem to take this seriously, as a potential national security risk. Just another reason that I think the Obama administration is soft on terror.

politics

I am a fanatic of politics. I am a conservative, Christian, patriot who loves this country. I follow politics daily and watch how things unfold and who says what. It seems like lately, people have forgotten that they can make a difference in this country. Regular people are doing it as we speak, moms, dads, kids. If you like this country, don't let people "fundamentally transform it" into something we don't even recognize any more. Wake up people!

Driving

I do a lot of thinking while driving, and things just seem to come to my mind as I drive. I always wanted a way to preserve my thoughts so that they wouldn't be lost. I had the greatest time in South Carlolina this weekend. Thank you so much to the Florea family, you always make me feel so welcome.
