A proud American !

I have kept my mouth shut during the elections and just watched the process unfold. I did this because I was tired and felt adding my two cents to the din was just a waste of time .

I am also a four year veteran but I never really paraded it around .  This is the first Veterans Day that I posted my self in uniform. I generally never fly the flag except for holidays. I usually try and use civil language when I talk and write. I do this because there is a very large part of my being and behavior that is conservative. That is about to change in this post.

I just finished listening to the Dan Rivers show on my radio and the conversation centered around the real possibility of states using secession from the Union as a weapon against President Obama.  This was the final straw my friends. I have taken as much shit as a human can stomach.

I sat by for eight years when George Bush was President. I knew a lot about the history of the Mid East and knew that the policy of the United States was to use Iraq as a buffer between the Suni Muslims and the Shiites from Iran. Saddam had control of his largely Shiite population and kept them from joining the forces of Iran. I knew this policy of containment was very delicate and an invasion of Iraq was a bad idea. This was exactly what Osama Bin Laden wanted. Still we did attack and all hell broke lose.

I kept my mouth shut and just went about my business.  Then President Obama was elected and the shit started falling. They attacked his church,his place of birth,his loyality,and even his citizenship and said he had secret Communist plans for America.

Then the poor man made a big mistake. He passed a Health Care Act . How dare he resort to Socialist principles they said. I kept my mouth shut.

President Obama won reelection and now there is a petition to have him impeached.  There are petitions in every state to withdraw from the Union. Companies are fighting the new ACA by laying off workers to punish them.  The speaker of the House still refuses to put tax hikes for the wealthy on the table and dares the President to take us over the so called fiscal cliff.

I thought the election was over and we could live in peace for a while. No we can't. The Republicans just can't leave it alone. They are going to attach until they split this country in half.

I am going to fly my flag everyday and if I hear anyone talking about leaving the Union or picking up their guns I will punch them in the nose. I am an American and I will fight for my country with enemies both foreign and home grown. In closing I would like to say to all of you babies that lost an election to get over it and support your country or just shut the hell up. I have heard enough bullshit this week to last a lifetime. I would ask are you Republicans or Americans ?  I am an American.
