23 February 2007, Not much happening today. They moved the ceremony for SGT Hughie to Saturday here as they had the first ceremony where he was stationed in Nuristan province today.
I'm actually quite tired and thinking about going to bed early tonight. I managed to stay in the office for most of the day, lately I've been running around a lot.
Many of you have posted about the way Congress is acting these days. I am glad to see that not everyone has lost their marbles. The Democrats, Speaker Pelosi and Senator Reid made grand gestures about changing and reforming Congress, to make it better. This would indeed be a modern day miracle as it appears the only thing on the agenda is....how did they put it....yes, to "slow bleed" the troops. Yes, they support the troops so much they are willing to sacrifice them for their political gain. Now, this does not pertain to all liberals. Clinton and Obama are way too busy to even show up for work these days. Both are out on the campaign trail for an election that doesn't even take place for another 20 months. As Obama becomes the poster child for the Dems, let's look at this from a different perspective. Let's say a guy was hired to be the general manager of a car lot. Now, one week later he's telling you that he wants to be the CEO for General Motors. He hasn't proven himself yet even though he did write a book about cars once. And by the way, he hasn't been at work yet either because he's in Detroit trying to convince General Motors that he needs to be in charge. Hmmmmmm.
I do think we should take a note from their book though and start our work of replacing these people in Washington now. As you know from reading my blog, I try not to classify people in the Democrat and Republican labels, but more into liberals and conservatives. This comes from being raised in Oklahoma. Oklahoma is a registered Democrat state, no doubt about it. However, the majority are conservative Democrat and proud of it. I looked at the National level when I was just a young'n and found that the Republican party was more in line with my own values. Oklahoma just doesn't fit in the National spectrum.
Regardless to how you are registered, it's now time to find true, honest Americans with sound values to run against those in Washington that wish to see us destroyed. Yes, that does sound harsh, but anyone who is willing to sacrifice our troops for their own gain, anyone who can't make a decision to solve the immigration problems, anyone who is weak on Homeland Security needs to be replaced. Representing the people of the United States of America is just that, representing. It's not about what you can get out of it. It's not about seeing that you get life time benefits and health coverage and retirement after working one day. It's about making sure the people are treated fairly, that everyone is treated the same, that we can continue to stand for what is right and just in this world.
It's time to get active in our future to make sure we still have one. Be safe and have a great day. Happy Dance Friday too.
