Reflections From a Murky Pond

America has begun the July 4th holiday weekend, a time when we celebrate our independence and the creation through the force of will and of arms of our sovereign nation. For most of us the holiday weekend will be a joyous time, both because of the amazing divine gift to the world that it celebrates and – in all cruel honesty – because for many of us it is a welcome three-day weekend and break from the drudgery of our workplaces.

For some though the 4th of July, America’s Independence Day, may not be quite so joyous or even pleasant.

I Can See November From My House

Yes! The American people, those within her borders who love our country and hold fast to the ideals of liberty and sovereignty that it was founded upon, are “onto Obama” and his coteries of Liberals that have infested our federal government and President Obama, not being an utter fool, can certainly see that fact of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

President Obama can certainly see that we, the People are not tolerant of his ideology; the way a great many of the GOP primaries have gone and the way that some at-risk Dems have changed their tunes and voting has painted a clear picture of that.

Oh yes! The upcoming “fireworks” are not going to make President Obama and his Liberal cabal happy at all.

A simple, but not particularly gentle, reminder to the civilian people either of or within America – every freedom you enjoy came at a cost of blood, sweat, and tears. The brunt of that price was paid for our soldiery who put themselves in harm’s way in order to provide those freedoms.

It Is The Soldier Who Gives Us Liberty, Bought With His Blood

These fallen soldiers are long past review, and I sincerely doubt that our dead care overmuch about our opinions of their lives; they’re now past our flawed judgments. But we should certainly care about what their judgment of us and how we’ve used the freedoms they bought for with their privation, pain, and deaths would be.

Official US Military Totals: 1775 – 1991

Yes, a simple reminder on this Memorial Day weekend – America is the Land of the Free because of the Brave. Every single freedom we have was bought with their blood and what have so many within the US done with those hard-earned freedoms?

It is once again Easter and the weather seems to have cooperated to make this a fine Spring holiday for families across America. That’s the problem and the risk!

Every year it is the thing and the same trauma invariably ensues. This warning probably comes too late to save you this Easter, but please take it to heart and save yourself and your children future heartache.

Remember This – Don’t Say Next Year That You Weren’t Warned

Oh, the humanity! Oh, the shame! Oh, the dry cleaning! And it could have been avoided so easily.
