Random Reflections
Colonel Dan, SASS Life #24025
It always amazes me how so many people can get so excited
about elections and actually believe things will radically improve because some
politician says so… but only if you elect them of course! And many of those politicians slinging such
compost are the very ones that have been in
Throughout the recent, endless campaign, the left repeatedly
said they wanted to bring “fundamental change” to
Have you ever noticed that during the primaries, candidates of the same party call each other everything but a child of God and tell us how unqualified their opponents are? Yet when the general election rolls around the primary losers change their tune completely telling us now how wonderful their party’s nominee is. Example: Hillary/Biden/Obama and Romney/McCain. Well, they were either lying to us then or lying to us now since both descriptions of the same person can’t be right. Bottom line; they’re lying.
The only bona fide reason politicians can possibly have for objecting to requiring proper identification as a prerequisite for registration and voting is that they want illegals, felons and dead folks to vote—several times. Failing in their push for no ID at all, why do many then press for driver’s licenses to be issued to illegals? Answer—Motor Voter Act of 1993. This act enables people to register to vote when applying for a driver's license—by mail or in person—making it harder to verify the identity/qualifications of those wanting to register. Politicians who aren’t supporting identification are supporting corruption.
Have you ever noticed that when a team, company, school or whatever starts to fail, the leadership comes out with a groundbreaking announcement—they’re “going back to the basics.” Well my question has always been this, if you already know the basics are a solid path to those winning ways, why did you ever leave them in the first place? All you did was waste time and money…and where the government is concerned it’s always OUR money they waste!
I remember as a kid the first time someone gave me a bag of
foreign coins. As I looked at each one,
I saw that those from the poorest, most defunct countries were made of the
cheapest material you could imagine…aluminum, tin, zinc or maybe even pot metal. When compared to our silver coins of the 1950’s,
there was no comparison. Even as a
youngster I could tell whose money had real value. Now look at our composite “silver” coins
since 1964 and the
Finally, “We the People” must reclaim a traditional hold on our rights and our country or we risk losing both. When elected authorities refuse to enforce the law…as in holding their own to the same legal and ethical standards they arrogantly impose on others or when government refuses to investigate major corruption in one party but zeros in on even minor infractions by the other party, when the law is subordinated to money and power, when they refuse to protect and defend our borders we’re in deep trouble. When government doesn’t trust the people with firearms and tries to control everything from the number of guns you can buy in a month, to the way you can or cannot carry them, to how you must store them, to the amount of water in your toilet, to the kind of light bulbs you use, to the amount of money you can save for retirement, dictating when you can start to draw on that money and when you must start drawing on it, we’re in deeper trouble. When those who swore an oath to uphold the law, ignore the law, there is no law and “We the People” must depend on ourselves to preserve both the law and the country.
Just a few random reflections from my saddle…
