The tyranny at home is self inflicted as we have been asleep for too long. If it can be done quickly, I believe knowledge will awaken the country and hopefully we can wrestle the runner away and get back on course. If not... King George will have to go by other means. <br />As for our soldiers sacrifice... my wife and I always disagree on immigration. She believes illegals should be stopped at the border and rounded up and thrown out. I belive the politicians who offer them the benefits and welome basket when they get here should be to blame. Our soldiers are called on and they always step up to the plate. We may disagree with the coach but that in no way should diminish their service. To whom much is given, much is expected. Should we be abroad for nothing more than freedom's sake? That would be a great discussion. My feeling is yes but... get the damn job done. War is simply killing them until they don't want to fight anymore. But our fights are political and our soldiers die so our leaders can be politically correct. For this I would bring them all home.The Rattler - IIIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16055991858730363760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3801283734349986543.post-16625153201121836192009-08-07T20:47:46.800-07:002009-08-07T20:47:46.800-07:00I have a problem, and I'm hoping you can help ...I have a problem, and I'm hoping you can help me understand this.<br /><br />How can it be that our soldiers in the Middle-East are "laying down their lives for you and me," when we live <i>here</i>, in tyranny?<br /><br />Can they be fighting for our freedom abroad when the enemy is within? <br /><br />I do not mean to diminish their sacrifice, but I think there is a difference between a war for our <i>sovereignty</i> and a war for our <i>freedom</i>.<br /><br />I am not speaking to the moral merits of that war, but to what <i>cause</i> our soldiers are dying, for Iraqi freedom or for American freedom?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06096743545034524940noreply@blogger.com
