I love my country and I'm proud of what it's done in and for the world, but I fear that it's lost, at least the version that was so great before the liberals took over. I just pray for my country daily now, and I pray also that it won't self-destruct for at least seven years, so that I can at least retire and move with my dogs and my guns to my isolated retreat somewhere far away from the turmoil.Murphy's Lawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17164780742334950772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684531976778247960.post-18231254913559324052015-07-17T16:43:55.252-07:002015-07-17T16:43:55.252-07:00And oh yes, that can be a challenge!

The one thing I would disagree with you on is that I could not, in good conscience, vote for a Democrat these days. There was a time when there were many democrats who I didn’t always agree with on social issues, but who were also rock solid on national security. But the days of John Kennedy, Scoop Jackson and Sam Nunn are gone a glimmering. <br />Now the Democratic party is so far left that it scares me. Look at how rock solid Congressional Democrats have been in enabling everything that Obama has proposed. From nuclear weapons availability for Iran, to gay marriage, to transgender military service, to a disastrous immigration policy (or lack thereof), to a national debt that threatens to put us in the same condition as Greece in the next few years, there isn’t a single issue I can think of where Democrats have been on the right side of the issue.<br />This nation desperately needs someone in the Oval Office that is willing to reverse a vast number of policies and programs to get us back on a track toward economic stability and national security. <br />Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15482185271178889753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684531976778247960.post-60926699434795576782015-07-17T10:11:42.862-07:002015-07-17T10:11:42.862-07:00I think you're right about the lack of integri...I think you're right about the lack of integrity thing.

Not life threatening, but one of those surgerys where one seldom hears good outcomes of, especially if you are active in the outdoors. Ah well, age will do what it will do and one just have to adapt & overcome. Not are choice really. Just hope I can keep my job and the insurance until it is done.<br /><br />Every day odious event occur, yesterday murders being a tragic example. Martial law perhaps? Regulatory agencies out of control, Judges making law instead of enforcing existing law, Executive out of control and not accountable to Congress, the list goes on.<br /><br />As to the world, meh. It is hosed. We should wholly destroy our known enemies, make no apologies, and make it very clear not to f*uck with us.
