Weekly Wrap-up

Another week has slipped by and the Senate stalemate continues. If someone submitted the last three and a half weeks as a movie script, it would be tossed aside as being too absurd!

Speaking of absurd, did the Washington Post really think we would believe their explanation that the “fliers appear to be the product of overzealous marketing executives.” http://tiny.cc/OpI9u

Also under the absurd adjective this week is the passage of the Waxman/Marley bill and what it will cost Americans http://tiny.cc/af6tU

Al Franken will sit in the United States Senate http://tiny.cc/2RvGh and I wonder how long it will take him to join the Congressional travel club http://tiny.cc/9cul7

There is nothing wrong with a President having Town Hall meetings to explain his agenda; however, this week’s meeting to explain his healthcare policy was more of a show than a genuine town hall meeting. http://tiny.cc/SP3eX

Another big news story this past week was the U. S. Supreme Court decision overturning Sonia Sotomayor in the Ricci Case, certainly her judgment regarding this case has to be examined. http://tiny.cc/f8k6a

Enough of what is absurd! Tomorrow we celebrate America’s 233^rd Birthday. As American’s we have been blessed by living in a country where we have freedoms unheard of in other parts of the world. And all of these freedoms have been paid for with the blood of our brave armed service members. Yesterday, Karl Rove wrote about one family http://tiny.cc/IeTSX. We salute them and all the families who have protected our way of life. When we get on a bus, sit outside in a restaurant, attend a traditional fireworks display, or even a family barbeque, we are reasonably certain that a suicide bomber will not attack us. Prior to September 11, 2001, we never knew the fear a suicide bomber could evoke. Then America survived September 11, 2001. And we will never forget how that day changed us forever. We are resolved to never experience the horrifying, terrifying fear, the unspeakable shock of seeing the deliberate destruction and death of almost 3000 innocent people ever again: http://tiny.cc/Ltfgf

So as America celebrates, as family and friends gather to watch parades and fireworks, take the time to thank a veteran and their family for keeping us safe and if possible, please support: http://www.woundedwarriorproject.org/

Semper Fi and may God continue to bless America
