Contrary to what Obama and a vast majority of Democrats may think, creating more and/or expanding the current size of an increasingly costly government bureaucracy will do absolutely nothing to protect the freedoms enjoyed by so many in this country. Much to the disgust of Liberals, the cost of protecting our freedom must instead be paid in the form of a strong, well equipped and well manned military. Sadly, the cost of that freedom is often paid for in the form of the lives of our brave fighting men and women. Sad as it may sound it is necessary, and it has been that way since the very beginning of this great country. These men and women who value freedom so much that they are willing to make that ultimate sacrifice to preserve that freedom for future generations of Americans are of a very rare breed indeed. This sense of patriotism felt by many, but especially by those serving in uniform seem to be something that just totally confounds liberal Democrats because it is something that to completely foreign to them. They have no point of reference, because to them the mere thought of fighting and possibly dying for one’s country is simply ridiculous.
You see, liberal Democrats just don’t think of, or even define freedom the same way that most all other rational thinking Americans do. They see freedom not as something that has been bestowed on man by God, but instead as something that should be bestowed on man by government, and to be doled out as government sees fit. And for the most part they continue to have a very low opinion of those who willingly fight to defend our freedom. Those very same people who fight for the freedoms enjoyed by people they don’t even know. Soldiers go off to war to defend this great country and our very way of life, not for the glory and especially not because the money is good. But because they’re needed. They fight and die for their country providing for our security, something for which we shall be forever in their debt. And it’s a debt that we will never be able to repay. But they don’t seem to care about that. And it’s not only the freedom of Americans that they bravely defend but the desire of freedom by people all over the world. Because were it not for the light of freedom that emanates from this country that sends out a beacon of freedom to all points of the globe, what would freedom loving people have to strive for. As a nation we must remain able to demonstrate what a nation of free people can accomplish.
Democrats seem to be mystified by these patriotic Americans’ love of their country. It’s because Democrats see America so differently than do the rest of us. To them America is nothing more than an evil plague upon the world, responsible for all that is wrong with the world, no matter where. They say that every single thing that is wrong in the world today, or will go wrong tomorrow, can be laid directly on America’s doorstep. You know, being a Democrat must be a pretty depressing thing. I cannot imagine being that angry all the time, or feeling guilty because I feel blessed to live in this great country. It’s really quite sad.
