Reminded of a true patriot, Thomas Paine, who wrote "These are the times that try men's souls" From "The American Crises"
Written long ago when politicians got the fat head syndrome and were trying to decide OUR fate as citizens.
I don't need ANY of them telling me why I need or want more government. They take enough from my paycheck, and the return is sorely lacking.
As our soldiers fight overseas, a 265 year old quote rings true still; " If there must be trouble, let it be in MY day, that my child shall have peace."
