In questions of power, then, let no more be heard of confidence in man, but bind him down from mischief by the chains of the Constitution." --Thomas Jefferson: Draft Kentucky Resolutions

THANK YOU.
My friend and fellow veteran blogger (Pat's Site, blogroll) sent this to me. Sometimes we all get a little caught-up in politics. Sometimes we just need to take a deep breath.
All of our military members should be appreciated. God Bless America.
AA, Thanks for the visit, my friend. I thought you would appreciate this. We didn't get this, but we did our duty.
Mustang, I loved the irony of your essay. The clip was great. I recognize your music. The Semper Fideles I recognize as the song played at the end of Heartbreak Ridge, one of my favorite movies. Thanks for the visit.
AA and Mustang, I saw this bumper sticker today and it drives me crazy everytime I see it, "Dissent is the highest form of patriotism." I guess what we did wasn't worth a bumper sticker.
Right, L&0 "Fighting America's battles" isn't quite deserving of a bumper sticker but DISSENT sure is! Disgusting...I hate to say it, but what other word!?
I am a retired police officer. In an inexplicable moment of madness I then became a high school history teacher in 2002. As I navigate through daily life I am keenly aware that my generation owes the country an apology for the 1960s. Although I was not an active participant, on behalf of all the burned out hippies that are leading most of our institutions of higher learning, I'm sorry!

VERY NICE!
Brings a tear to my eye every time I see it, Lot. Exceptional ... now why can't we come together as Americans to save our country from politicians?
Thought you might be interested in this short essay ... my other blog.
