Serving in the military, learning the history of my unit, the men who were heros, and those who died left an impression. To them and all so many others who gave their lives for this country, first to become a nation, and later to protect its survival, the flag, this country, and its people mean a lot. To those who haven't served, you wouldn't have a clue.

Conservatives are simply roadblocks on the path to an ever more progressive and liberal world. What a sad existence. |
