Memorial Day (RIP)
This day was created for us to remember the sacrifices made so that we may live as we do. It was not designed for purpose of vacation or to decorate relative’s graves unless they died in war. Yet like all of our traditions and blessings we have forgotten its sacred purpose. Preserving freedom is not an easy task, nor was gaining it. When I read about the sacrifices that our founding ancestors made it makes me cry. I truly do not believe that we are worthy of the high cost they paid. It is especially troubling watching our Republic being dismantled before our eyes. At least half of the people in this country are opposed to the latest immigration bill, with only at best 26% support. Yet, it seems to be a done deal (so much for representative democracy). I tried calling Senator Hatch but they didn't even bother to answer their phone, not did they return my call. What a shame. Robert Rector estimates the cost of this legislation to be 2.5 trillion dollars during the next eighteen years. If there was any chance of saving Social Security before, it is gone now. This bill will lead to the Balkanization of this country. It also appears that SPP will become the law of the land eventually as does the UN Law of the Sea Treaty (LOST) which has been defeated at least twice.
I do not know what it will take for the American people to finally wake up and realize that the country, of which they take for granted, is quickly being lost (no pun intended). I will truly mourn this Memorial Day, but not just for my father (he was haunted by his WW II experiences) and the millions of other patriots which sacrificed to much, but for the best hope that this world had. It was a noble experiment while it lasted.
