There may be hope for this country after all, with young people like this coming of age to help in future elections by selecting (and electing) those who believe the same way. Well done Deanna, well done.

Deanna,
Thanks for writing an excellent post. More people need to realize that the Constitution and Declaration of Independence are the foundations of our liberties and prosperity. If they become irrelevant, our freedom will become irrelevant, too. And that will be a tragic day.

Simple truth that no one can deny: Progressives are deadly enemies of our liberty.

That means DEMOCRATS. And RINOs.

They are not our friends, they are the smiling tools of our eventual demise.

With less than 1% of Americans in the military, the majority of citizens aren't really connected when the discussion of war comes up. Before, they would have to consider if a war was reasonable by deciding if a war was worth risking their own offspring. Now they can choose to support a war with no personal risk. Too bad because it makes war too easy.

The question to ask is what will the other 99% of Americans do, when the 1% are doing the fighting? Send the socks? Perhaps a patriotic person would choose to ask our leaders why our troops don't have enough socks, or other things like body armor? I like to think that the military people have the job of following orders, to war perhaps. But my job is to act as a watchdog, trying to make sure that our dedicated troops aren't sent into conflict that doe not have to happen.

Thus, being patriotic to me is watching what the government is doing, and having the courage to stand up and say no, when they have gone astray.
