(Editors Note - Below is a message from a regular ANP reader, Disqus username Godzilla, sent to ANP as "A Memorial Day Thought".)
On this memorial day many of us will pay homage to those who gave their lives so that we can be free. While some may disagree with the wars and the politics of those wars, these men and women all believed very deeply in the Oath they took for the privilege of serving the greatest people on earth. They deserve our respect, for giving everything of themselves, for those of us who remain and future generations.
I’m also going to ask that on this day that each one of you have your significant other or your child or a friend bend you over and give you (and I) a good swift kick in the ass. We have failed these people and have lost many of the freedoms they died for.
The 4th and 5th Amendments are effectively dead. The 1st and 2nd Amendment are under constant attack by those who would rather be subjugated than to be free. We have allowed our governments to become corrupt and self serving, and knowing this, many will go straight to the polls on election day and give permission for this to continue.
Our fallen are rolling over in their graves along with the founding fathers. Shame on all of us. It’s past time to start coming up with solutions that might work. If you think that to continue to do the same thing over and over ( voting) and expect a different result, you deserve to be called insane.
Enjoy your weekend and stay safe! ANP is full of great people! Enjoy your Memorial Day!
