Why I rant!

Special note to my Face Book friends:

Okay ... To explain, as some may shake their heads each time I post on political issues. I state the following, not in anger, but to clarify why I "rant", and why on sites like Face Book.

I have very passionate beliefs;  They are conservative (Duh); I am a flag waving patriot; I believe our FOUNDATION is fundamental to our freedoms (and doesn't need changing); and I strongly believe in and love MY country (it didn't just start with the election of someone I supported).

I believe, with all my heart and soul, that to sit quietly by and just get-along, is why our country has slipped to where we are today. We're a mess economically; our foreign polices stink and are dangerous; and we're so politically correct, we won't call things as they really are in fear of offending someone; and far to many think that Freedom OF religion, means freedom FROM religion and want all references to religion out of our public domain (and we're paying for it with decay in out-right public demoralization).

I shall NOT sit quietly by and not shout from the roof-tops, that "We THE people", must take control and no longer relinquish it to so few. I will take advantage of any free speech avenue I can to try to express my concerns for my country. Even if you are a democrat or independent, you too should educate yourself to as much truth you can find, then VOTE you honest conscience.

We don't have to agree, but we all need to participate. The free flow of information, ideas, and then voting for whom we believe best that can serve America, is critical. And I, for one, will NOT follow any Pied Piper, of any party.
