My wife, Barbara Jean, joined a pitifully small group of 50 from our
great state of Vermont. I embrace her and that group as real patriots
who feel frustrated that subversive community organizers had the power
to elect our current leader with votes from possibly fictitious
citizens.
Before we allow another $9 trillion debt in the name of medical
insurance reform to pass on to our grandchildren, together with a
"bailout" that has taken the hard-earned money of our citizens to pay
millions in retirement gifts to retiring corporate executives, we
should insist upon a public referendum.
When I pulled a fragment of shrapnel out of my buddy's chest that had
Chinese lettering on it, I never could have imagined that my country
would be paying $8 million in interest to the same country for a debt
that continues to escalate.
All our fiscal problems would vanish if we had a leader who is
courageous enough to announce a one-year moratorium upon all foreign
aid. For jobs, look to the years following Pearl Harbor when every
capable citizen worked in our own steel mills to build a powerful
military machine or revisit the CCC and WPA that took us out of a deep
Depression. A draft could help to clean up the acts of our recalcitrant
teenagers, build our military strength to what it was in the 1940s and
bring back our National Guard from that futile war in Afghanistan to
reassign them to their original mission, protecting our borders.
We had a chance to put a military man in charge of this nation at war.
We chose an eloquent speaker from the crooked Chicago political machine
who has never looked down the barrel of a gun. Wake up, America.
Socialism has a disastrous history.
Thank you, Barbara Jean, for being an angel of a wife and a great patriot.
