What gives some the right to look down upon me, as another equal stockholder, when I question this new foreign policy position that places AMerica on the first attack rather than on the first defense; making America the nation of War rather than the symbol of peace and diplomacy?

What gives some the right to call me unpatriotic; unpatriotic to question policy after serving 28 years in uniform, when they have never even taken the oath of a serviceman?

I am no less an American; nor more, than any other American. And while I do not relish it, I have the same rights, no more, no less than Rush Limbaugh and Ann Coulter.

Are they patriotic to build a false case in order to prop up and posture the lies that led us falsely into War?

Under the Constitution, those are crimes.

Those that point a finger, most often have three pointing back at themselves. Is that the case, when those most righteous claiming higher moral ground, then lie to protect the fabircation?


Is it the case when those least experienced claim the right to call others unpatriotic or unAmerican?

I'm mad as hell.

I'm tired of being classed as a liberal when there is little liberal about me. I'm the son of a preacher man. I'm the tightest man fiscally that walks. I don't like most of the social environment of this nation today and believe that CBS's SURVIVOR is the most clear indication of the media and society in chaos for it teaches all the wrong lessons; and conveys what we as a people and society have become.

I'm not a liberal, and I'm not a Conservative. Again, the Contract with America was a political exercise that had little to do with leadership. My Contract With America is the Constitution.

I stand on it; by it; with it; and for it.

The media and fourth estate have been little more than a megaphone for those who wish to divide America for the spoils. Each interview becomes more and more blatant in propaganda manipulation and less and less factual.

And they first use the most damning of all techniques; labeling, in order to convey a point of bias and division that overrides their limited mental capability to understand what the real issue is.

I'm not a liberal. I'm not outlandish, or outspoken. These are all adjectives being used as nouns. They are diversions from the truth.

I am but one thing and there is but one NOUN - I Am an American

I am an American
