This was written to me by one of our amazing soldiers:
On the eve of the day to remember America’s veterans, I am ashamed to say, that those who served, both living, and fallen are tarnished by the way our president, and his hand picked generals are executing the war on “man made disaster”.
I know I am stating the obvious but: Until we as a nation put aside the dysfunctional idea of political correctness, and confront the fact that we are at war with Islam, we will continue to be easy prey for terrorists.
Speaking of political correctness, I am sickened by my Army leadership. When given the choice of doing, and saying the right thing, or protecting their position on the government tit, they choose to protect their jobs and their retirement by turning a blind eye to the obvious.
If Casey had a set of balls, he would call it like it is, retire, and ride the swell of pride on a speaking tour, making millions in the spirit of patriotism. Yet instead, he’ll fade into obscurity knowing only the sting of regret having failed to act when those around him, and in his charge are disarmed, and rendered nearly neutral in this apologist’s war waged not with tactics, but political correctness.
We are so screwed.
We arrived last night in our Nation’s Capitol after an inspiring journey for the 9/12 protest, with stops visiting our Founding Fathers, Thomas Jefferson and James Madison and Colonial Williamsburg,
This morning I attended the Freedomworks Liberty Summit, which was attended by just over 1000 people. considering today was a weekday morning, I was impressed with the turnout. Saturday I expect at least ten times this number or more!
I have already posted a bunch about the Summit, here, here, here, here and here so I won’t belabor that event.
After lunch we headed over to the National Archives to serve as the conclusion of our Founding Fathers journey. We had the priviledge of seeing the Original Articles of Confederation, which were on special display. We also saw the Declaration of Independence, The Constitution and the Bill of Rights. These holy items are in such a sacred space. But as I gaved up on them in the dim light of the rotunda of the Archive building, I wondered – is this place too much like a tomb? Or should it be considered simpy a quiet holy place. The two feelings hit me at once. Clearly these are sacred texts. and I hope that people visit this places with a sense of wonder and awe. But to display faded documents that you can no longer read, without a clean legible copy in a nearby location deeply concerned me. our founding documents need no museum curator interpretation, but they need to be read - by every school child , every parent and every grandparent who comes and visits this holy place.
