A One Month Cruise

Well, I decided I'd look out after my adult children, my brothers and sisters, my dad and my in-laws. I made reservations for them all on a one month cruise! I reserved beautiful rooms with balconies, a pre-cruise and post-cruise stay at a posh hotel so we wouldn't be rushed, and made reservations at a 5-star restaurant for the night before we set sail. I made first class flight reservations for everyone too. What a guy I am! I hope you all enjoy it! Oh, you have questions? How much is it going to cost? You mean with air fare? What ship are we going on? How are we getting to the pier? Do you have to stay in a hotel pre-cruise and post-cruise? Are any excursions involved? What are the ports of call? Well I have to tell you I don't know those answers. I didn't read the contract. Silly of me. I just said yes when the call came in. You can afford it, can't you? It IS something you want, isn't it? No? Oh. Hmmm, sounds like maybe I should be a member of Congress. I have the knack, don't you think? Hmmm... Wake up America!!!

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
