First post

The content of my posts will not be contrived nor planned down to the last detail. They will be from my foggy contemplations of the day and I would hope to give us something upon which to ponder
As a family we lived in Simi Valley, California for nearly 30 years. This is home to the Ronald Reagan Library. The American President who single handed, defeated and destroyed the Soviet Union without dropping a single atomic weapon. I have visited the library on several occasions and from the beginning one statement on a wall has stayed with me.

"Words are more powerful than guns. If we will not allow our people to have guns why would we allow them to have words?" Joseph Stalin.

Are we all aware of the numerous bills floating through congress (such as H.R. 45) to drastically erode the Second Amendment? First do not allow the people to have guns? The Obama administration is proposing a tax upon all media (for profit) to fund public broadcasting to take away the power of today's talk radio and popular TV news (both of which tend to be conservative. The administration claims that their goal is to provide a more level playing field. They already have PBS for the most part funded by the government which espouses the liberal cause and very few listen to it. We see honest American citizens being called a mob, un-American when trying to voice their views. Is this an attempt to do away with our words?

While it is right to question the " Health Care" load of stuff, have we forgotten that American Rights under the first two amendments are being eroded away?


"WE STAND HERE ON THE ONLY ISLAND OF FREEDOM THAT IS LEFT IN THE WHOLE WORLD. THERE IS NO PLACE LEFT TO FLEE TO...NO PLACE TO ESCAPE TO.
WE DEFEND FREEDOM HERE OR IT IS GONE. THERE IS NO PLACE FOR US TO RUN, ONLY TO MAKE A STAND. AND IF WE FAIL, I THINK WE FACE TELLING OUR CHILDREN, AND OUR CHILDREN'S CHILDREN, WHAT IT WAS WE FOUND MORE PRECIOUS THAN FREEDOM. BECAUSE I AM SURE SOMEDAY-IF WE FAIL IN THIS-THERE WILL BE A GENERATION THAT WILL ASK." RONALD REAGAN
