Not My Women!

It's a sad, sad day when we can sit by and watch this occur in this nation. What happened to all the real men?

Just A Flag?

As an American with family on this continent dating back to before the Revolutionary war, and a veteran of the U. S. Army, I find it very disconcerting that there are Americans who can disrespect our flag.

To do so is to disrespect the people who have fought, the blood that has been shed, and the lives that have been lost all in defense of this symbol of America.

In 1776, the flag, containing the same seven red and six white stripes that it does to this day with only a field of thirteen stars, was created. It’s not known if the flag flew before the Continental Army thrown against the British forces during the War of Independence, but blood was shed and lives were lost in it’s defense.

A Once Proud Republic

The Declaration of Independence was written to voice the grievances of the people against the British Crown. The United States Constitution was written to protect the people from being forced to ever again endure the treatment laid bare in the Declaration of Independence.

The Founders agonized over the details of both so that this country would not become what the colonists had fled. The Constitution was only meant to enumerate the powers of the Federal Government that were specifically necessary to protect the rights of the people, with the rest coming under the purview of the separate States. Additionally, the only way provided to change the Constitution was through the amendment process.

We no longer resemble that nation built on the Constitution.
