Memorial day

On the day our country chooses to honor the fallen I wonder what those heroes would think of the present state of our nation. What would you tell the fallen hero about the carelessness with which we chose to treat our liberties.

We have a government that now thinks the way to lead is to take over private ventures. Even worse we have business leaders and labor asking to be taken over with no care for the freedom they relinquished.

Instead of people looking to take care of themselves everyone is looking to blame someone else for thier predictaments. The government blames greedy bankers the bankers blame government regulations and the deadbeats act like they couldn't possibly know what they were doing. Mean while the solution they come up with is to have the responsible pay for the irresponsible.

So on this day not only should you remember our fallen soldiers. Let us also remember our falling country and fight to preserve the freedom and liberties that are being so cavalierly tossed to the side.

  1. Bob,

    Well said. Concur on both points. Not to be an alarmist, but we are in danger of losing our country.

    Glad to see you started your own blog. I know you have lots of good points to make and views to share. I'll be stopping by regularly to see what's new.

    Bill
