I am a Veteran who Values Gays and Lesbians in the Service

This post will not concern itself with the general disrespect for those who are gay whether in the military or not; it will focus on the many gays who serve our nation honorably and valiantly. I am a veteran who served honorably in the United States Navy from 1972 until 1982. Not that it matters, I am straight, and I am appalled that those who are not straight have to be subjected to so much harassment from a government for which they risk their lives. So that we can get a better understanding... Sign in to see full entry.

Senator Allen Denigrates Our Troops in Speech . . .

This veteran read the most astounding quote in a story about Senator George Allen of Virginia and his opponent, Jim Webb. A particular quote by Senator Allen got my ire up and I wrote the following: The Most Honorable Senator George Allen has no faith in the intelligence and perspicacity of our troops. In one of his recent statements, a most un-American statement I should add, he essentially said that we should not discuss Iraq in any negative way because it will demoralize the troops. Nothing...

Can you believe some people?

I'm all for protesting and a peaceful world, but the there's something wrong when people demonstrate against us for killing a known terroist who is responsible for thousands of death. All it cost us was some gas money for jets and the cost of a couple 500 pound bombs. We got a bargain on this deal. Wait till Zarqawi <sp?> finds out that not only are there no virgins awaiting him, but that there is only pain and torment for his soul, wherever he is. Sign in to see full entry.

So, Fellow Veterans . . . .

When are we going to begin to uphold our sacred oath to defend the Constitution from enemies foreign and domestic? It is the domestic enemies that offer the biggest threat to our Constitution, starting with President Bush, going down through his cabinet officials, and leaking into the formerly hallowed halls of Congress. It is time for a revolution, and I am not advocating armed revolution, yet. We have the most powerful weapons within our grasp: our votes. Before long, those will be so... Sign in to see full entry.

Patriot Act?

What a joke! The current administration is ripping away individual liberties every day. When are we going to get sick of it and put a stop to it? Is it time for another revolution? Sign in to see full entry.

Hooray for the Death Penalty

Hooray for the Death Penalty – Now Let’s Fix It It is presumptuous for any human being to take the life of another. Isn’t that God’s job, to judge and to make life and death decisions? Who are we to make such a difficult choice? Who are we to deign the wisdom to decide who dies and who lives and for which crimes? Sure, some guy on death row may have killed off an entire family, or perhaps she or he was a serial killer with dozens of deaths notched on his soul. Perhaps he will reap the ultimate...

This Veteran says to you all . . . . .

that it is never right for a search of any of our personal items, our homes or our conversations without due process, including a warrant prior to a search. It is never right for the government to track our reading. I read about bombs, I've built bombs, yet I've never hurt anyone. What business is it of the government what I do, so long as I cause no harm? Sign in to see full entry.

We are beign attacked daily . . . .

And our government is doing nothing to curtail the attacks. Each day, each hour of every day, illegal aliens cross our borders to steal from us. They steal our jobs, or welfare benefits, our educational benefits and our very security, for who knows what terrorists sneak in along with the more benign (yet still illegal) border crossers. It is time, folks for us to demand our government start treating illegal immigration in the same light as it would an armed attack on our country. Write your... Sign in to see full entry.

We are Treading Dangerously

Congress is endangering our country in their most recent debates on pulling troops out of Iraq. Whether the war was right or wrong, whether we should be there now or not is moot. If we pull out now, we are asking for disaster and more bloodshed. Bloodshed in Iraq and in other countries, including our own, will increase if we pull the troops home before the new Iraqi government is stable and secure, able to protect itself. What we will do if we pull out of Iraq prior to the job being done is send... Sign in to see full entry.

George Bush is a Democratic Party Plant

He is showing his socialist colors daily. If he is a conservative, I am Daisy Mae. What kind of aq conservative spends tax money as if he were a drunken sailor? $200 Million to Katrina victims? Blalderdash. Where were the state and cities? Where were their insurance policies? No, I am not heartless, but a nation that depends on government to bail out individuals will soon lead to a nation of heartless citizens. Let'sget back on track. Let's find a true fiscally conservative candidate for office,... Sign in to see full entry.
