7-4-1776
IN CONGRESS, July 4, 1776.
The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America,
When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.-----
“We the People”
"We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."Categories

Veterans Day 2011…
As we reflect on yet another “Veterans Day” with thousands of our brave Patriots still in harm’s way around the globe, it can sometimes be easy to lose sight our nations place in this world. With this in mind I must tell you that I am constantly battling my natural instincts to lash out at those who simply “don’t get it” or just “refuse to accept it”.
I sat watching the news recently and was stunned as I listened to a “middle aged” occupy Wall Street person go on about the evil and wicked ways of the United States of America, and I thought to myself, how far have we come when some left over relic from the 60’s is still out there re-writing history and lashing out in a way that would most likely result in his arrest or worse in many of the nations he ideologically identifies with? How far have we come when the youngest generation currently enrolled in our institutions of higher learning, have put their faith in a fatalistic and hopelessly warped view of the world thrust on them by many a social engineer masquerading as an educator? And how far have we come when common decency and respect are no longer part of the free speech and right of lawful assembly equation so many of our brave Soldiers have died to preserve?
On this Veterans Day 2011 I ask only that any discussion, critique, analysis, demonstration against, or protest of – this country, its leaders, politics or policies, actions, initiatives or otherwise – come only after an honest evaluation and subsequent understanding and acceptance of one fundamental truth – and that is that the United States of America, despite all of her faults, mistakes, ambiguity, miscalculations born of arrogance, and at times collective complacency, remains the best arrangement for mankind under God in all of human times. Unless and until we understand this simple truth and the history that lead to it in so short an earthly margin, any simple right of free speech, expression or assembly will not be enough to save us from the fires of our own “individual” and human selfishness.
God bless the Soldiers who are fighting and dying not only for our flag, but for what it represents.
Jobs, Jobs, Jobs…
There is some good news to report today in that applications for unemployment fell to a seasonally adjusted 390,000, the third decline in four weeks. This comes as economic growth ticked up a bit as well. Economists are still worried however, that consumer spending rose only as household revenues decreased indicating people are using credit again making less money. With crude on the rise again and gas prices soon to follow for the holidays, Wall Street is “sketchy” at best in its forecasts, though the Dow did manage to hold on to modest gains today after yesterday’s plunge. This is probably due in part to some possible stability being reported from overseas within the last 24 hours.
Truth be told, our economic prognosis is still grim at best considering businesses are hedging their bets to make certain they survive. Additionally, and in the absence of any real growth spurring initiatives by this Administration, and with a national debt that looks only to climb dramatically over the next five years, job creators in America are simply looking to outlast the bad times and emerge on the other side. This understandable consensus is only aggravated by the lack of any level of confidence that might be instilled by the current political climate in Washington. Regrettably, I see these infinitesimal upward movements as only the gasps of a grievously wounded economic engine in need of immediate, tangible and “real” stimulus.
