2nd Amendment
What happened to the US? Companies make dime store attempts at patriotism to try and make a quick sale, politicians ruin lives to make a buck, our leaders have lost contact with reality and being politically correct means giving up basic rights and freedoms so the shallow end of the gene pool doesn't have to work. I can't be the only one disgusted can I.
simple rules for flying the flag.
1. don't let it touch the ground = freedom should never be tainted or stained
2. light it at night = keep lady liberty flying bright in the darkest of times
3. half mast = let the flag show respect for those that died defending her.
4. everything else falls to simply respecting her and what she stands for.
if I forgot something feel free to add it in.
Like common sense, an informed electorate is no longer common. The man(or woman) on the street can tell you who got voted off the island on survivor or the biggest loser but can't tell you who is the Vice President or even who their legislator is. Lets hear it for term limits for the House and Senate.
It's that daggone political correctness.
Taking down the 10 commandments from historical courthouses. The pledge of Allegiance debacle in the schools etc.
I say it is time for a LEGAL/DEMOCRATIC!!!! purging of our current government.
You left out "proper disposal" of a flag, fractured.
To hengst - 2010 IS COMING, SHOW THEM HOW YOU REALLY FEEL !
Ohh I will Big O, Always do
The current Congress will never impose term limitations on themselves. Since the states elect their congressmen, then the state level is where the term limits should begin. If each and every state had a push to enforce rules on their congressional leaders, then we might have something that wouldn't have to be nationwide all at once.
The congressional argument agains term limits is going to be "what if your area likes their congressman and he/she is doing a great job?" My answer to that is to do consecutive term limits. If an elected congressional member is limited to two consecutive terms and must take a mandatory two year break, then we can be sure to get some new blood in there. We also would have to opportunity to get back in those who do a great job.
It makes me very mad that I wasted 27 years in the Army trying to prevent some of the crap happening here now!
Sorta makes me wish was I young enough to move to Israel a least Netanyahu has cojones enough to DEFEND his country and not destroy it.
Moishe, I agree and for so many reasons I whole heartedly support the oath I took especially the part about defending the Constitution. I believe in the 1st 2nd and 10th Ammendments, States rights and there are times I feel I'm doing the same. But I know that we as a whole need to stand up for ourselves and in 2012v hopefully the ones who have woke up from their haze and got a good dose of a reality check will remember this crap and vote in better officials.
In 2012, when the Republican jihad happens, will it really be any different?
'Bama-ites are making a career out of blaming everything on Bush. As conservative as I am, I still can't help thinking that in eight years you should be able to do something! A chunk of that time was dealing with the eight years of "straightening out" that the Clintons did.
Maybe our gov't needs a "reset" button. If it were only that easy to get us to a level economy, with common sense laws to protect us and give us our rights as individuals.
Have we ever had that? Maybe that's the price of a country that tries to be all things to all people. Have we EVER been, as a nation, without war, threat of war, economic issues or internal unrest? I don't think so.
You can't totally undo what's been done .. I'm not saying that Republican Pres or Dominant Congress would be any better. But I don't think we would be indebted by the trillions to CHINA!
We need to vote out the problem children.... but that is hard to do at times and some of them pull the wool over alot of peoples eyes with empty speaches and promises to get what they want to only tax the h#ll out of us.
We are not children and do not need the gov't treating us as if we were.
The younger and even a medium population of the older and middle aged generation expect the Gov't to hand them everything hand over fist from welfare (states) to health care, medicare, etc (federal) Hmmm Welfare, Health care, medicare all started by democrats... I think that party should be dissolved.
The Democrats also are the first to make everything about race and the injustice committed by Republicans and also the first to deny any wrong doing though their hand was in the cookie jar as much if not more so... Also they add pork bills to everything they try to pass or pass.
I think if we really wanted a strong rebirth as a nation we as a whole (all races) need to come together and work together and not be divided by the past which is thrown in our faces everytime the Democrats, Al Sharpton, Louis Farrakhan, NAACP, ACLU, SPLC get a chance to muddy the water with racism remark to prevent any unity.
I think we need to rethink our world power strategy and go into a period of isolationism to rebuild our foundaries, companies and our pride and quality of products. We need to balance out the trade (import and export ) by matching our prices and tarriffs (taxes) on both imports/exports.
We once dominated the steel, copper, gold, silver and agricultural industries on a global scale not to mention clothing (cotton)
We have become so accustomed to higher pay for less work and companies have become accustomed to more work and cheaper labor (out sourcing) that it's results are catching up to us.
NAFTA what a peice of garbage that was... good plan bad implamentation
Bailouts ... Should've let them file bankruptcey and start a new or fall.
We also need to get the UN out of our country and Illegal Immigrants, Deadbeats and our Crimianl Justice System under control. Want to save money quit payin for free cable, 3 hot meals and put em out on the road gangs cleaning up the roads and freeing up the DOT to fix our crumbling and neglected bridges, tunnels, railheads, levies etc. Mimic/Adopt the taxctics of the Sherrif in Arizona.
86ram I think your talking about Joe Arpio... living in AZ I have to tell you the man is one of the few who are still willing to stand up for what he believes is right.... don't get me wrong sometimes he goes to far but he's always been there supporting the law obiding community, he was even placed in jail for doing what he felt was right.
Among the important dates circled in red on my calendar are April 15 when I will join my fellow Americans for a Tea Party tax protest and the first Tuesday in November when we get to vote out the first round of bums. If you're not part of the solution then you're part of the problem. Public Enemy Number One was elected by what? 53%. Now the hardest thing to find in America is someone who will admit he voted for the bozo.
Sourdough, Your so right, I have a few (very few "Liberal" friends, now when I ask em "How's that "Hope & Change" working out for you? I seem to get the "One fingered SAAAAAALUUUUUUUUUUUTE" a lot! ;)
all i can say is this country is headed the wring way and it makes me sick
