Memorial Day 2011

As we celebrate Memorial Day, we pause, to remember our service men and women, who have served their Country and have sacrificed their lives for us. In one way shape or form, all individuals given beyond what most would realize; they have rigorously trained to earn the title and rank for the World's best Military force.  Our returning Veterans and former War Veterans, are wounded, scarred, either mentally physically or both, and disabled or have those close to them who are.  So we pause to, not only give thanks to the Veterans' and their sacrifices, and their family members who have endured months or years, being separated from their loved ones; but also to give thanks for, the reason's why they have sacrificed so much. American Pride, Freedom, Liberty, and Pursuit of Happiness, are among a few reasons' why our service men and women do what they do.

   Benjamin Franklin    "I conceive that the great part of the miseries of mankind are brought upon them by false estimates they have made of the value of things"

 Freedom, Liberty and Pursuit of Happiness are what keeps foreigners coming to America, and that's what makes America, America. There should be a process though, not only to help get citizenship, but to insure their taxes get paid, and for National security reasons' too.  Those who enter legally and become citizens contribute to our economy, they create a small business and make their own "American Dream".  Is that dream still attainable, for any American though; when there is so much red tape to start a business, and tax's associated with entrepreneurship and our National Debt keeps rising?  Its expensive enough just trying to get your small business off the ground, let alone having to help support Uncle Sam, more and more grant money, with every bright idea to fund some nutty professors theory.  Is the cost of  our economic Freedom really worth, the trade off, for government spending programs?  With the rising debt ceiling, and the wealthy being an easy target to foot the bill, more and more of our Nations wealthy are moving to Republican states or over seas. Who will pay for it then, we will. America pioneered the industrial revolution, and because of taxes, have pushed Corporations overseas, giving China their industrial strength.  By 2020 China will have surpassed the United State's Economy, making them the Global leader of currency, thus giving them the say on what happens on the Global forefront.  They also own the largest amount of our debt,  is it too much to imagine, they'll expect payment in full at some point?!

In retrospect of how far our Country has come, the suffering that our soldiers have gone through, and with what Benjamin Franklin was trying to convey put into context,  do we really understand the true value of what Freedom our military has provided for us, and others around the World?  Showing gratitude towards Veterans is easy and well deserved; but how do we really honor our brave men and women, who have paid the ultimate sacrifice?  We do so by, ensuring Freedom, Liberty and Pursuit of Happiness remains an American virtue; not a traded commodity, by tax redistribution, for votes! Its almost impossible to steer away from mentioning Politics, especially in today's economic climate.  Politics stirs up emotions, anger, and stubborn feelings, even amongst family members. But, Politics effects everyone, or, it would be better to say, tax's effect everyone.  It's sickening to imagine how, the average citizen hears from the mainstream media, promises and goals that actually do the opposite of what has been promised; and the flock have paid attention so long to the lies, the path to the truth for some, seems like a far stretch.  Call it, misguided conventional wisdom, ignorance, or by design, either way you cut it, its just wrong.  How is it that 5013c's like Acorn have received Federal funding yet, one quarter of every homeless person is a Veteran.

Our World is changing and the way business is conducted is moving towards a more global approach, but there's a battle over what curriculum is to be taught Nationally.  It would be naive, to not ponder, what driving forces are behind the construct of the Global movement.  Having the whole thing laid out at once, would be radical; so its been small pieces chipped away, a little at a time to chisel out the sculpture.
 A Global economic standard is not frightening; what is frightening is, what Freedoms or Liberties will be sacrificed to test this social theory?  This, is not fiction, if you want to know whats really going on and why GM's purchase and the forced bailouts, is instrumental in the shift of Global Economics, read this book.

Ronald Reagan "Above all, we must realize that no arsenal, or no weapon in the arsenals of the world, is so formidable as the will and moral courage of free men and women. It is a weapon our adversaries in today's world do not have"

Ronald Reagan has been revered as, probably the best President, by both political parties.  He knew that, its our Freedom and Liberties are what brought people to America, and is what gave our Veterans courage, from George Washington to present, to Fight to the bitter end, for Freedom.  Is it to hard to imagine that those who dislike us, know this also?  America, stand up for your Freedom, Liberty, and rite to Peruse Happiness (Economic Freedom), and thank a Vet for what Freedoms you do have.
