Today is December 7th - a day we should all remember.
It is
the day of the attack on Pearl Harbor by the Japanese that sealed our
involvement in WWII. It took us awhile to get back in gear after the
attack but once we did enter the war we didn't hold back or worry about
what others might think. In fact we made sure others were convinced
that we were the best and the worst in the art of waging war on our
enemies. They were either with us or against us and there was no middle
ground.
During the war we lost over 400,000 lives (almost 10
times that of VietNam) of our most courageous men and women in a
struggle that would last 5 years. We as a nation were united in the
cause of 'Winning' the war. It brought us together - all of us in a
common cause to 'Win' the war. We shared a national will and spirit
that was awe inspiring and led us to one of our brightest victories. A
nation united can not be defeated.
So as we observe this December
7th I ask - Are we united in a common cause or divided into many groups
each with its own purpose and cause. Do our differences divide us or
can we overcome them to unite as 'One Nation' and strive together to be
great again. I sincerely hope that we haven't let our differences
divide us because a nation divided can not stand.
To be really united
requires that our leaders stop the stupid bickering and work for the
betterment of 'ALL' the people - not just their constituents. Quite a
few have lost site of America and have given their efforts and
concentration over to maintaining power regardless of the damage it does
to our nation as a whole. These kind of shortsightedness is not
limited to politicians. It affects just about every organization that
'begs' for Federal funding to sustain there purpose.
Here is a bit
of 'Common Sense' - We hear a lot of talk about immigrants these days.
I say we should concentrate on taking care of the homeless here before
we give benefits to immigrants. Then once we solve the homeless
problem, we can turn to helping immigrants. This makes sense to me.
I
better stop before I get myself in trouble - you never know who is out
there and how they may react to these 'Inflammatory Remarks'. Pray for
America.
