Not Your Father's Army

Most of us Americans have a deep and abiding respect and admiration for our country's fighting men who have served--and are serving--within the US Armed Forces. We appreciate their willingness to put themselves in harm's way for the preservation of our nation's liberty and independence. We honor their sacrifice. Indeed, many of us share that sacrifice with the deaths, dismemberments, and paralysis of our most cherished loved ones who were killed or injured in the line of duty.

It is time, however, that we awaken to the reality of what our military is becoming and where it is heading. Suffice it to say, this is not your father's army.

Council of Governors Takes Shape

As I have already written, the creation of a CG should be of serious concern to all liberty loving Americans. That more of us are not as concerned as we should be can be traced to the mistaken belief that the American people have nothing to fear from an overreaching federal government. This is pure folly! As I have said many times, we have far more to fear from Washington, D.C., than from Iran, Iraq, North Korea, or any other potential terrorist state. It is Washington, D.C.,--and Washington, D.C., alone--that has the power, opportunity, and propensity to squash our freedom and sell us into tyranny.

Admittedly I know very little about the process or purpose behind this "Council" so I have only to pray that Mr. McDonnell, Governor of the Commonwealth of Virginia, takes this opportunity to tell the Marxist-in-Chief what he can do with his health bills, his budgets, his industry and banking takeovers and his smarmy, apologist, self-righteous demeanor.

If your Governor is on the "list" I encourage you to contact them and, rather than demand that they decline to participate, that they scream from their seat on the council that the people of these several states have had quite enough of Washington's tyranny.
