Ask Not????

Just think, 50 years ago today President John F Kennedy was  inaugurated .  His speech had the famous line of "Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country".  Grand ideals for the sixties.  We were coming out of the Korean Conflict and the beginning of Vietnam.  President Kennedy felt that the country could be better served by the population performing national service, ala The CCC's of the Roosevelt era.   But in  recent times, it has come up that the reverse is now the opposite.  In a recent poll, 71% of respondents state that they want more from their country.  In today's consumer society, more of the country is interested in getting  something without giving back.  We must now realize that giving back to our nation, in whatever way, should be of major importance.  In the "nanny" state of the current administration, we must also be responsible for the growth of the nation and it's growth as a nation with pride.  This has to be done with a care that improves with age of it's population.  We must respond  with  dilligence for all people.

Well, that's one guys rant....WHAT DO YOU THINK?????

New Year, Same Problems

So much has happened in the past few months.  From Christmas, through New Years, with the debacle of the so-called "lame duck"  congress, to the senseless shooting of Rep Giffords in Tuscon, it's been a crazy past few months.  Now it comes out that Sarah Palin had something to do with the shooting in AZ.  This is out and out crazy.  It is a priority ploy for the left to blame a right-winger for the problems.  As it was put by Glenn Beck, there should be nothing associated with the right wing for the problems of a deranged lunatic, who took it upon himself to destroy not only a congresswoman, but 6 people, including a Federal Judge and a 9 yearold, who was born on 9/11.  I'm sure that the saying, "Only in America", may apply, but this is really out of hand.  We must resist the idiots that are in the liberal media in their efforts to slander others.  Only the constant vigil of real Americans can enable those whose agendas are to destroy the will of hard working people around the nation.  And as we continue this vigil, may we ever be on the lookout for those who also seek and destroy our way of life. 
Well, that's the way I see it....And as always...THAT'S ONE GUYS RANT, WHAT DO YOU THINK???
