Glenn Beck created the restore honor rally to encourage those who love the United States as our founders created it to come to Washington and over half a million of them accepted the invitation. This huge crowd was composed of all sorts of people of different ages, races, religions and incomes.
The main things most of this group have in common is a love of the USA, freedom and God. They have a sense of honor and duty to preserve our blessings for their children whether that means military service, showing up at town hall meetings or the restore honor rally. These are decent honest people with the courage of their beliefs who want their children to enjoy the same advantages they did if not more.
They are the people who make our country what it was meant to be. They desire and deserve the right to take advantage of what opportunities our freedom offers them without government oppression. Our government should serve us not rule us.
Many of these people are veterans and they have damn well earned the constitutional rights they seek to now preserve.
The good news for us who want to restore honor to our nation is that these 500,000 who attended the event are just the tip of the iceberg of those who feel the same. The November elections are just two months away so as long as we stay motivated, we can take a major step toward restoring honor in our nation.
We owe Glenn Beck our gratitude for showing us just how many others share our passion and commitment. We can also be very proud of the group that share our values.
It’s a sad situation for those who live along our southwestern border these days. Good citizens are living in fear because of our federal government allows the Mexican border to remain an open gateway for drug smugglers and a flood of illegal aliens.
Not only are they worried about the safety of their families but their tax dollars are being wasted to provide social services for these illegals. Texas reports that it delivers 60,000 babies to illegal parents each year and of course, the babies are by current law US citizens. The annual cost Texas spends for health care for these illegals is currently $96 million per year.
The federal government’s refusal to secure the Arizona border has also brought its citizens to a breaking point. Yet when Arizona passed state law to enforce the existing US law, Obama and Attorney General Holder sued the state. Holder is also threatening to bring charges against Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpio for arresting illegals and enforcing local law.
As safety has become more of a critical issue near the border, the federal government has put up warning signs and does little else to actually make a difference. In 2010, the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency has arrested 900 illegal workers compared to 6,000 arrests and deportations under Bush in 2008.
This short video shows the frustration and seriousness of this problem:
As bad as this problem is in the southwest, it is quickly spreading throughout the rest of the United States. I hope we will all wake up before this problem becomes more dangerous. We have reasonable immigration laws and welcome those who come here legally. We must start enforcing those laws before we lose what so many sacrificed for over 200 years to build for us.
As the November elections are getting closer and polling shows just how out of touch the radical liberals are with the American people, a lot of strange charges and excuses are coming out of Washington. If you support lower taxes, smaller government, politicians that serve their voters and secure borders, you hear rants from DC [...]
This is a very timely message from Robert A. Hall. I’m sure you will recognize him and be moved by his message. With the nature of current events, I believe the large majority of us feel the same. I do apologize for the small type size but the text editor keeps refusing to cooperate with [...]
This has been a hard week for me. Wednesday I learned that a close friend had gone to the hospital with chest pain and had to have emergency heart bypass surgery. Six bypasses! Surgery did go well and we are hoping for a good recovery but his life will be much different than before. He [...]
When I started this site I planned to provide information about retirement and vacations but since Obamacare, it has been focused more on politics than I like. Whether I like it or not, it is critical for those of us over 50 to be aware and prepared for the effects Obama’s policies will have on [...]
I hope you all enjoy July 4 today but with the barbecues and fireworks don’t take our freedom for granted. Today is the 234th anniversary of our independence and during those years many brave people have sacrificed and suffered a great deal to protect and preserve our freedoms. Let us appreciate the liberty and opportunity [...]
As each day passes and more oil spills into the Gulf, it is becoming evident that Obama intends to take advantage of this crisis to advance his personal agenda. Obama has made a number of references that this crisis requires us to transform our basic energy structure. Day three of the spill the Dutch offered [...]
A recent Associated Press article by Jeannine Aversa shows that debt still has Americans feeling a great deal of stress. A recent AP poll found 46% are suffering from debt related stress and half of those describe the amount of stress as great. It’s bad enough when you make bad decisions and end up in [...]
As you enjoy your Memorial Day holiday, I hope you will remember to appreciate those who sacrificed their lives to preserve our freedom. Too many have no idea of the sacrifices those in the military make to serve. They all deserve our gratitude.
