Every day on my ride home from work I would get to a corner where there were war protesters exercising there Constitutional right of assembly. Even though I thought there signs were silly(war for oil,Bush lied,people died) and predictable, I admired in some way the fact they took there time to state there viewpoints.
Since the last Presidential election, I haven't seen them. To the best of my knowledge, the war is still on, as a matter of fact, more troops have been deployed.
If any of you anti-war protesters are still out there, where are you?

Channon Christian and Christopher Newson
As the trial begins for the murderers of Channon and Christopher, keep in touch with this story for follow the complete miscarriages of justice and the proof of the fact that the hate crime law was nothing but a travesty.
“There is absolutely no proof of a hate crime,” said John Gill, special counsel to Knox County District Atty. Randy Nichols. “We know from our investigation that the people charged in this case were friends with white people, socialized with white people, dated white people. So not only is there no evidence of any racial animus, there’s evidence to the contrary.”
So the only thing you need to do is dated or even knew someone of the group of people you decide to torture and murder and "hate crime" if off the table.
If the brutality of these murders doesn't fall under hate crime, what does?
I wonder how long defenses like; "My cousin knew a Jew" or "My sister dated a black guy" will last.
Or do the libs only see, "I knew a white guy" as a proper defense?

Rights Part II
Let's take someone we know is a right and compare it to something that people think is or should be a right and we will see the silliness of this thought process.
2nd Amendment, "right to bear arms"
Now if bearing arms is a right, does that mean the Government should be providing me with arms, or does it mean Government can't interfere with my RIGHT to bear arms.
Now class, if health care is a right, does that mean Government should be providing health care, or that Government can't interfere with your RIGHT to have health care.
I think you're starting to get it.

Rights
Freedom of Speech is a right, but that doesn't mean that Government provides you with free speech, it mean they can not interfere with you exercising free speech.
Now in that context, is Health Care a right, it is in the sense that Government can't stop you from having health care, not in the sense that they have to provide it.
It's implied in the Constitution that you have the right to travel, now of course that doesn't mean that Government has to provide you with transportation, only that they will not impede you from traveling.
Of course you can all see that this is the bi product of an uninformed and ill educated group of people, including the President of the US and Congress who must have never had a civics class of even studied law as they all or most so proclaim

Congressional Jet Plan
It has been planned that after Health Care becoming a Constitutional Right, so too has been private jet ownership.
College educations, health care and private jet ownership are all things you can expect when you enter the USA illegally.
Come one, come all and get up to speed quickly.....
We need someone to pay the bill

Why Don't We Name Our Heroes?
Starting with Washington,Patrick Henry,Nathan Hale and too many more to name to make my point,into Grant, Lee, Sgt York and Audie Murphy.
Do you know who those people are? Correct,they are American heroes. This was back when we took pride in and heroes and gave people both a name and a face to the cause.
Now through that last years, we name the collective of heroes: NYPD NYFD after 9/11 and of "The Troops".
But what happen to putting a name and face to the cause?
A Nation without Heroes is a nation destined to fail.
Let's start naming our heroes and remembering them as the individuals they are,not the nameless faceless collective and the vapor and illusions of hero, but the true meaning of being a hero.
Do we what to go down in history as the generation with no heroes?
Starting adding to the list: Jefferson, Lincoln, and who?

Ugly American
After a wonderful trip to Italy one of the things that made me originally not want to go what the story that "other countries" don't like us. Bush this, imperialism that and all the other lines that go with it.
After spending time observing people from the world in Italy, I came to the realization that the reason other coutries made not like the USA or the UK for that matter isn't because of politics or status. The reason other countries don't like America is because of Americans.
I watched people complaining that "no one speaks English" or asking "do you have American coffee?"
I know it's easy to blame politics past and present on the world's opinion of us, but if you want other countries to have a good opinion of America, act respectful when you're abroad
That simple
