The Patriot

Recently a person jokingly told me I am too patriotic. I laughed and told him there is no such thing; but the comment got me thinking. Is it really possible to be too patriotic?  Is it possible to love a nation that has granted freedom to millions, too much?  The more I thought about it no, you can never over love America.  My love for our nation started when I was little. My parents were adamant that I know the values and principles America stood for. They showed me how to respect our Veterans and those currently fighting for our Country.  When I was five I remember playing with a small American flag that my Grandpa owned. When I accidentally dropped it on the ground I burst into tears, and told my Grandpa I was sorry and that he needed to burn it. He smiled and said it would be ok. I knew that flag to be sacred. That flag has stood for freedom, peace, hope, charity, and much more.  The flag has soared over many great buildings, yet it has been tattered and torn as well. During the opening ceremonies of the 2002 Winter Olympics I cried, with our nation and the world, as the damaged flag from the top of the World Trade Center entered the stadium.  The attacks on September 11, 2001 changed me forever. The images of that day will haunt me to my grave. 9/11 proved that freedom isn't invincible, freedom is something we must carry from one generation to the next.  I love my country.  I love that we were founded as a Nation under God.  I will continue to wear my red, white, and blue as long as I have the freedom to do so.
God Bless America,

LIFE, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness

Infant at 20 Weeks

Recently on Facebook I was involved in a heated discussion about the sensitive issue of abortion.  I was viewed as the "Evil-Republican-Man" that wants to force women to suffer through unwanted pregnancy.  Yes I do not support abortion, I feel it is destroying innocent lives, and I am appalled that the very people who often promote it complain about the "murder" we commit in war.  I think the more despicable murder is committed against innocent unborn children.
 After Texas passed the most restrictive abortion law in America, I became curious again about a subject that is often pushed into the background.  Is an unborn fetus a life? Texas now mandates that a woman cannot have an abortion after twenty weeks of pregnancy.  I looked into how far developed a fetus is at twenty weeks.  At this time in a pregnancy the baby could possibly be born and survive.  The baby can recognize its mothers voice.  It has developed taste-buds, and often pulls faces when the mother eats something unpleasant.  I do not understand how this law is controversial.  If a woman allows her pregnancy to last twenty weeks before choosing an abortion it is too late.  It is obvious that a baby is alive at this stage, and is aware of its five senses.
Abortion is murder, and I intend to protect the right all Americans have of LIFE, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.
Women say that it is her body and nobody has the right to choose what she does with her body.  I challenge this, it is not just her body, there is a human being that has no voice that is the victim of this disgusting choice.
I find it interesting that the same liberals that tell conservatives to stop getting involved in their personal health, often support the Affordable Care Act.  Obamacare is nothing but your government inserting itself between you and your doctor.  I said it before and I will say it again.  Abortion is filth.  I am proud to be pro-life.  If we think about it, what are you if you aren't pro-life?  Pro-death.  Human life needs to be valued, and I am grateful my Mom made the choice to keep me.
