how can any kids born today be a liberal or democrat?
knowing how the world is today. knowing that liberals and democrats will not secure the country. knowing that the republicans are stopping attacks left and right. and the democrats would have allowed so many attacks to come through.

just wondering how anyone could be one?

We finnally find 500 muntions of WMD in Iraq, and what happens? Nothing. I don't care how old they are, the weopons were still lethal, they could still kill. Why does no one care?

Although the New York Times was within its First Amendment privileges, was it right to publish an article exposing a secret program to monitor terrorist financial activity overseas?

I saw a news clip that made me think.
Latinos in Miami were complaining about the weather services inability to broadcast storm warnings in spanish.
The last I heard to be a citizen here people had to read and write english to gain a green card to live here.
If they cant understand the language of the land (and a lot are illegal) then why is it that we as taxpayers have to foot the bill for this?

FREEDOMS PRICE
When people say that they're proud to live in the land of liberty,
Do they know the price it really costs for them to say that they're free?

Probably not.

Do they remember the man, who fought in trenches on foreign soil, through barbwire and mustard gas and today can hardly breathe,

The one who went away a boy, and came home a physically scarred man?

Not really.

Or maybe they recall the one that pushed in the haunting gates at Auschwitz,

To stop the tyrannical reign of a madman bent on annihilation and world domination, Who can't sleep well at night because the faces, in his dreams, still haunt him.

Never heard.

Or, could it be, the one at their local bar that acts like an overgrown college frat kid, Who dug graves for his buddies, with a pot hat and bayonet, in the frozen earth near a lake, And is now remembered, by others that also survived, as one of the "Chosen Few".

That guy?

No, it's probably the teenager that went to a jungle paradise halfway around the planet, And spent his nights working as a ghost, in a program our government still denies happened Who no longer exists, even though you can see him, and did the things no one else would Because the job needed to be done and so it was with deadly accuracy and precision.

Who's that?

Could it be the young second lieutenant that crashed in a medivac chopper, And spent the last minutes of his life frantically trying to grasp a gold band left on his bed, Not realizing he was burnt so grotesquely that he no longer had a wife or any fingers left.

Didn't know.

Maybe, it's the one that burned in when his chute didn't deploy right, and drowned in the ocean off the coast of a small island in the Caribbean going to protect some students at a University, when some radical dictator tried to take over.

Where's that?

Let's not forget that fourteen year old, uneducated farm boy, that walked in front of his unit,With nothing to protect himself with, but his guts, two sticks, and a snare drum, On a green field that ran red with the blood of 56,000 dead, outside a town in Pennsylvania.

Kids fought?

Nope, it's the guy with two plastic hips, a composite knee, half a shoulder muscle missing, a scar from his spine to his breast bone, and another from his chest to his groin and nerve damage in both arms so bad from having his elbows broken that he can't feel fingers,but still found it in his heart to mentor a snotty nosed moron who didn't know his *** from a hole in the ground because he owed that kids dead father ten bucks for a cab ride twenty years ago.

Who'd thought.

Could be that Special Forces sniper, who jumped out of a perfectly good chopper with a buddy, to protect some wounded comrades on the ground, ran out of ammo, and fought to his death against an African warlord, and had his naked corpse drug through the streets for his efforts.

Wasn't aware.

How about the guy who spent seven years in captivity, enduring torture and mind games, Who tried to remain strong with his friends, who were also at the Hilton, tapping messages and felt he couldn't look his father proudly in the eye when he got home, because he broke.

Forgot him.

What about the guy who ate sand for six months, in a godforsaken desert in the middle east,That made sure he just did his job right, so his buddies could have some relief from the heat and today can't figure out why the left side of his body is palsied, and not working right.

Oh him.

How about the three, who represent the many, in a grave yard in Virginia
Guarded by a spit and polished, poster boy private who's proud to say,
I didn't know them but it's important that I stand their eternal watch.

He's there?

It has to be the one that launches an eighty million dollar aircraft out on the deep, That doesn't understand the importance of what it is that he does yet, He's just pissed that he's old enough to die, but he can't have a beer in his own country yet.

So what.

How about the one, who's aunt basically spit in his face at Christmas dinner, When he sat there in his dress blues and she said that if this war calls for draftees She already had a fund for her sons to go to Canada and sit this one out.

Her choice.

That's right, it is her choice, it's freedom of choice, _expression, assembly and speech The exact things that make this country free, and what we have defended through many conflicts.

All they ask for is a look, a nod, a handshake, a simple thank you, that means more than any medal, A chest full of ribbons, a body full of scars, and a mind full of ancient memories is what's carried, By those that go in defense of freedoms that you enjoy each and every day.

The flag that some burn, is the one which they have, do, and will defend It's the one that they salute, that drapes their coffin, and is presented to their families when they fall.

So remember that freedom comes with a price, and it is one that is great,A price that not everyone is willing to pay, but some are willing to take for granted. Remember and give thanks, for those, who have, do, and will pay that price so that you can live free. Do not take for granted that which has been given to you by those who came before.

Do not forget them, do not desecrate their memories, do not take their gift for granted. Many paid the price for your liberty and freedom, So remember them with honor, dignity, and respect.

Liberals think for some reason because they can sing or act, all of a sudden they received a dose of brains.

Don't they remember in high school and college they were the same dumb *ss people who could not pass advanced math and science, or any other course which was taught and graded with objective reasoning?

Local reports indicate that drug and human trafficking has already been reduced. There are fewer vehicles in the area where the fence is under construction—proving again that having a presence and taking positive steps to do SOMETHING to secure the border reduces the flow of illegal aliens, potential terrorists, drug and human traffickers, murderers, rapists and thieves in these areas.


And New's reports say-they are ahead of their scheleded time. And the next area has already begun.

Doesn't it look like Americans know what to do within the law to protect their people?????
