 Good luck on your fight Abram! Wish I could offer more then encouragement...but with people like Charley trying to "Rangel" his way out of paying his taxes..Ethics!...we don't need no stinkin' ethics! Turbo Tax Tim Geitner running the Fed? (What's wrong with this picture?)There are ways to win "the Good fight", I lost my home and a lifetime of accumulations...but I fought on...the last stroke I had damn near killed me..but it didn't.

My Parents did an admirable job raising all of us! I asked for no favors and gave few.

Pull yourself up by your bootstraps and don't whine about what could be, just do it! That is the way we were raised, and yes my father occasionally did use his belt when we needed it. I learned a great deal at the VFW's that I frequented with my father(A WWII vet), and later my 2 older brothers who served in Viet Nam. My curiousity was often peaked by Pop's friends and if I could not find what I sought in the Encyclopedia Americana, I often went to the Public Library, where I often joked that I knew the Dewey Decimal System before I could walk. The books, filmstrips, and everything else that the library had opened a whole new world to me. None of the things they are doing now in Wishington are in the Constitution,unless they changed that too! The founding fathers must be spinning like tops in their respective graves at what is happening now. Hindsight being what it is...perhaps George Washington would NOT have crossed the Delaware.

Thanks kordonblue, and being of the same background as yourself, is of my fight. Heck, when my older brother returned from 'nam, hearing his stories, the look in his eyes, I enlisted as soon as I turned 18. A time when the lies I had been taught, and heard in the press, began my realization about the half baked theory promoted by the left. It was not until I was permanently disabled in December of 1980, and my fight ever since that time to live an independent life, that I learned of their imprisonment of the elderly, and disabled. The military did me a great favor, when teaching me the elements surrounding the enemy, and the propaganda warfare used to misguide, redirect, intimidate, and place fear in the people they sought to control, win over. I will not lose, no matter the outcome, has no one can take anything from my life that I do not freely give.

AMEN BROTHER! Fight the Good Fight! I still lived in Pennsylvania where I grew up when I contacted Senator McCain. I got the paper shuffle from the shysters..so I went to a soldier, where I knew the job would get done! McCain came to a dedication ceremony at the post I belonged to in Egypt, Pennsylvania for a Tomcat...beautiful plane! My late Father,God rest his soul, was Army-Air Corps in the South Pacific during WWII. So we all went Air Force...except me because of my bad heart, but I was as rabid a supporter of the troops as ever came down the pike. I did pick up a bad habit at the VFW's & Legions though...I love playing pinochle..chess with cards I refer to it as. I play at games.com, as it is one of the few sites I've been to that has double deck and no stinkin' nines..lol! Now I know what that song was about.."Grandpa..tell me 'bout the good old days"...sigh.
