My dear friend:
1st off let me thank you for taking the time to read my input ( I believe )
The message I wanted to convey was one of hope. Not regression. A step into the future, not into the past. An out look that I believe all of us must take in order to bring about the change in this country we all want. If I have learned anything in my years, I have learned this. Hope springs eternal. An a positive attitude is infectious. To put it another way. A teaspoon of vinegar, most people don’t want, But one of sugar goes down very well. And no mater how hard we try, no mater what we do, no one can live in the past. The past should only be used to learn from, Now is today and what we make of it, tomorrow is the future, and it is the obligation of all of us to make it the very best we can. Keeping in mind always, the future is only going to be what we decide it will be. Again thank you for taking the time. I do hope this clears up any misunderstanding I may have caused you. RETW

Hi Jack.
I don’t know how much older you are then me, and to tell you the truth, I don’t think it makes a hell of a lot of difference one way or the other. To me, it’s good enough that you have joined us all. Thank you.
I have long held the belief, the older segment of our population, should in fact, impart a little of the wisdom they have gained over the years, to the younger folks. Of course what they do with these pearls of wisdom is entirely another story. That’s why I am so happy with the Internet. It does give us all a voice, and a unique opportunity, to express some thoughts and conclusions we may have come to. Hopefully, others will find interesting. So to that end I am here. And as I have said, will be commenting on different aspects of our population and government. Thanks again, hope to talk to you soon.

I must say , it’s about time. The independent News network WWD. Com has just sent out the first numbers on the question they asked in a new poll. Should Barack Obama be impeached. And here are the numbers so far to date at 4 o’clock western time 5-5-2013.
97 % of those that answered said yes. If Obama isn’t guilty of high crimes and misdemeanor’s, then the phrase has no meaning. So what do you say about that? And how does that information make us all feel. Well, I’m going to try and take a stab at an answer.
First off I feel vindicated. Almost to the point of ( there I told you so ). He deserves this and more. Look at all the trouble he has caused, and the damage he has done to our nation.
Right must win out in the end. And I could fill a book listing all the stupid and deliberate mistakes he has made. But then I think, OK, so what now? Where do we go from here? The fire storm is almost over. And the rebuilding must begin. The task ahead is tremendous by any standard you would care to mention. I would liken it to the rebuilding that went on after the 2nd world war. People need to be somewhere, do something that is to them, important. Not only to themselves, but to the families that they belong to. And the folks that depend on them for support. People need to breath again with a new determination not to let this monster
called liberalism out of the bottle again. I was reminded this morning just how deep in despair an individual can get. Deep enough it seem to believe that our country is doomed, and all is lost. Nothing is going to make any thing right again.
Then I feel very sad. Not for our country, but for the presidency of this great nation. Barack Obama could have been and should have been a president for all the people. A president that should have united us all. One who would again return us to that shining city on a hill. But alas, it was not meant to be. Instead we got lies, deceit, back room deals and monumental incompetence to the enth degree. We all know this. And I am sure we will never forget this point in our nations history. I for one will not let these last four or so bad years go buy and just give up. I refuse to let bad, or evil take away my rights to live in a free and open society. For the lesson this country teaches us all, is bound up in the legacy we as a free nation have received from the many, many people that came before us. Freedom. It is not just another word. It is life to us. And in our country, it is the one constant the rest of the world can look to and say. See, I want my country to be like that. Dear friends, this struggle will pass. And in its wake, I believe a new and stronger country will emerge. A country that is not afraid to put forth its hand to help. A country that honors all its people and their endeavors, whatever that may be. A country where we all go into the future with a renewed confidence, with the strong knowledge of lession’s learned. Bad or evil will not win this battle. Right, will. So take heart. A better day is before us all.

I believe the answer you are seeking is the only one that makes sense. And I know a very great many people may not think it, or believe it, but it is the ballot box. And also, each and every one of us that still care about our country and the direction it is headed. Oh I have heard it all, and will hear more in the weeks and months ahead. But before we all start to take to the streets, may I remind you, the direction we all want our country to head in, has already been fought for and won. If memory serves, The British Empire had a lot to do with dispelling the idea we did not want a centralized government, king, Queen, or dictator of any form what so ever. There by putting into motion the simple use of the ballet box. As I have already stated in my introduction, It is unbelievable the way politics have gotten out of hand. So much so, that we have all forgotten
what thousands of our fellow countrymen and woman have given there life to protect. And are still doing so today. Freedom. Oh my God what a beautiful word. Look around you. It flows out of every home, Business, church, school, park, street, and byway in this country. It stands as a testament to its people in every book, news paper colum, TV and radio station, sports event, good or bad. It is the major factor why we call our self, The United States of America. We the people, of this great country banded together to form a more perfect union. A country that is free to hold life, liberty and the persuit of happiness as there core belief. A country that is run by the people, for the people. Now I know that may sound old, lame, and out of date. It is not. It is as much a part of our life as apple pie and ice cream. It is the reason we, the people, that truly love this great land of ours, are all bent out of shape about. People in other country’s, other lands, are taking advantage of us. Taking advantage of our good nature, and our want to be the very best we can be. Worse still, The folks that we have elected to represent us as a whole, have lost there way. And in a good part no longer do they feel a need to stand with what has been tried and proven to be just, and law full. But it is we the people, that have allowed them to slide off to the far right or left. It is we, that have forgotten, what is right or wrong. I have often asked myself, why are we blaming the corrupt career politicain, when it is we, that keeps him or her, in office.And how do we do that? Oh I know, we vote them in, or out as we see fit. We are so lazy in our public life, We don’t even want to think about politics. And yet we want them all to know just what we all need and want. They don’t, because we don’t. And far, far to many people will not vote, because they say, to all proudly, my vote don’t count anyway. Where did that statement come from? Yes there may be corruption here and there. But on the whole, the system still works just like it did well over 200 years ago. I believe that. I have to believe that. For if I do not. Then all I have worked for means nothing, and I will have wasted a lifetime on a country and its people that care for little and stand for nothing. All it takes to change this all around, is to get up off your ass, and go vote.

Hi folks: I am what you might say, a bit old now. Mid 70s
And have been active in the political seen for many years.
And what I am looking at today in politics is nothing short of unbelievable. So from time to time I will be writing about the state of this country, its leaders, and I hope a few topics you may or may not find of interest to you. Be that as it may, I am very glad to be with you and will be posting soon :)
