I Believe in Something:

In case anyone hasn't already suspected, I consider myself an Independent Conservative American. If I seem to lean more to the Republican side it is only because that, in most cases, is the lesser of two evils.

First and foremost, I believe in the Constitution of the United States of America. The Constitution has withstood the ravages of both current Republican and Democrat parties and all those that came before during the past 200 years plus. At least, to some extent. The patriots who designed the Constitution were able to do so because they relied mostly on a commodity that is sadly lacking today: Common Sense.

I have lived, fortunately, through nearly a century of thieves, hucksters, traitors, and self-serving sleazy bastards who have attempted to shred the Constitution. It didn't start with FDR but that is where it starts with me. FDR started the slide toward socialism with his New Deal schemes. Each succeeding administration has added to the slippery stream until it has morphed into a cesspool of greed , corruption and putrefaction.

And, I believe I am an American. My immigrant parents, like many before them, came to America to be American citizens. Not Irish-Americans, or German-Americans, or Armenian-Americans. They left their old ways behind them and melted in, still maintaining their sense of heritage. They worked hard with little formal education but plenty of common sense. They raised the Greatest Generation and saw to it that their offspring received the education they never had the opportinuty to acquire. One of the greatest questions of the 20th Century that will be argued for years is how the Greatest Generation sired the misfit generation of the 60s who are now occupying the seats of government in the U.S.Capitol.

And, I believe America is a Christian nation and we speak English only. One need not be Christian to be a citizen but to be a citizen one must abide by the laws and procedures set down in our justice and legal system. There is no place for Sharia law or any other foreign system of law in the American justice system.
And I believe it might we well to remember this quote from George Washington's First Inaugural Address on April 30, 1789: "The preservation of the sacred fire of liberty and the destiny of the republican form of government are justly considered as deeply, perhaps as finally, staked on the experiment entrusted to the hands of the American people."
