America! Oh How We'll Miss You!: From The Left

From The Left

I stumbled upon this blog today. This is what America is up against. Take a look, and read this blogger's profile and a couple of the posts and comments there, especially the one about the Arizona immigration law. You'll find intolerance, derogatory name-calling and hate abounds. How do the progressives have the temerity to call us conservatives intolerant?

And then there was this from the W.C.Varone Blog, which I found interesting, especially the part about continuing to push for change...

This one from Michelle Obama:

Will you sign Barack's birthday card, WC?

WC --

Every year, our family tries to come up with a fun way to wish Barack a happy birthday. And this August 4th, when he turns 49, I have something new in mind.

This has been a big -- and hectic -- year for him. After signing the Affordable Care Act and Wall Street reform into law -- and completing his first year as president -- I think it's safe to say we will remember it for a long time.

And I know full well how much he credits this movement, and the work of supporters like you, for the change that we've accomplished.

So I'm putting together a birthday card that I would like you to sign. Together with supporters -- and me, Malia, Sasha, and Bo -- we'll wish him a happy birthday and let him know that we're ready to take on the year ahead alongside him.

Will you wish Barack a happy birthday with me?

Wish Barack a happy birthday

This year also brought a lot of surprises -- some good and some bad.

Supporters like you have helped him make the best of it -- by contacting Congress to help push stalled legislation forward, by re-engaging supporters in the political process, by giving back with service projects across the country, and so much more. And while we can't know what the coming year will bring, all of us, working together, will continue pushing forward for change.

Will you help make this a memorable birthday for Barack and wish him a happy 49th?

Thanks so much,

These are the musings, opinions, and yes, the rants of a concerned American citizen. They are published for your entertainment, enlightenment and information, but mostly to make you think and make you question. I refuse to be labeled politically - I'm neither a Democrat nor a Republican. I am a conservative American and a supporter of Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness. I believe in the Constitution and The Bill of Rights as they were written. I do not believe they are "living" documents, but the concrete foundation of America. I have witnessed, over the past 45 years, a slow but constant erosion of the ideals and principles that made our country the greatest nation on earth - ever. That erosion has intensified dramatically in recent years, but particularly in 2009 and 2010. And while we may have slowed that erosion through the elections in 2010, we have yet to stop the flow of progressive sewerage that causes that erosion! There have been other great civilizations, but none that have contributed so much to world evolvement in such a short period of time. And as you undoubtedly have realized, none of them are around today. I don't want that same fate to visit America. I loved the America I grew up in; I miss that America today. I have done a lot of research, and in a word, Progressivism has deminished her, and continues to erode her strength. If we do not actively engage in the process to stop and reverse the erosion, she will be destroyed. And history will compare her to a beautiful shooting star - gone, all too soon.

"The alternate domination of one faction over another, sharpened by the spirit of revenge, natural to party dissension, which in different ages and countries has perpetrated the most horrid enormities, is itself a frightful despotism. But this leads at length to a more formal and permanent despotism. The disorders and miseries which result gradually incline the minds of men to seek security and repose in the absolute power of an individual; and sooner or later the chief of some prevailing faction, more able or more fortunate than his competitors, turns this disposition to the purposes of his own elevation, on the ruins of public liberty." - George Washington about the two-party system

'In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American... There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag.... We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language... and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people.' - Theodore Roosevelt 1907
