A Special Thanksgiving

A Special Thanksgiving
Al Ritter

I am thankful today because:

Al Gore was never elected as our president

Nancy Pelosi lost the speaker of the house position

Chris Dodd retired

Carbon Credit trading collapsed last month

Barack Obama continually makes major mistakes

Joe Biden has his foot in his mouth constantly

Unless Ron Paul wins the nomination his political career will be over soon

Chris Matthews has lost that tingling feeling up his leg

Thousands of military men and women are protecting my freedom

I had a wonderful mother that formed the man you see today

My mother made sure I travelled the United States to see the real spirit of the country

The father that instilled the work ethic that allowed me to retire early

A son, daughter-in-law, and grandson who love me

I have a wonderful girlfriend who loves and appreciates me

A rescue dog that loves her daddy

A wonderful house, a little bit of property that’s paid for

Fortunate enough to be retired and happily busy

Fortunate to have some of the best friends in the world that would do anything for me if asked

I am lucky to have been born in the best country in the world!

My Personal Beliefs ( so you know where I'm coming from)

I believe, that the United States of America is the best country in the world bar none.

I believe, the founding fathers wrote the Constitution of our country based on their belief in Christianity, and encouraged the practice of all religions but not at the expense of the others.

I believe, the Supreme Court should interpret the Constitution and not legislate from the bench.

I believe, the Constitution is a legal document, and not a living document subjected to constant change.

I believe, the course to peace is based on strong military, strong principles, and not a pacifist denial approach.

I believe, the second amendment is the right of every citizen in our country, and people not guns are the cause of murder.

I believe, in the death penalty as a form of public compliance to our laws.

I believe, a declared “hate crime” should not just be limited to describe the victimization of one race, or religion, but should be applied equally.

I believe, taxes are necessary to run our country and benefit our citizens, and not to give to foreign governments to “buy” friendships.

I believe, the government should have no right to tax a dead man’s estate on money he has already paid taxes on.

I believe, the President should have the power of the Line Item Veto.

I believe, that Senator’s and Congressmen should have term limits the same as the other elected officials.

I believe, that Senators and Congressmen should eliminate the word “entitlements” from their vocabulary.

I believe, that taxation in our country is disproportionate according to annual salaries, and serves to polarize citizens within the system.

I believe, “Affirmative Action” is neither affirmative nor action, and should be eliminated, as it’s just another form of prejudice.

I believe, that “pork barrel” or “earmarks” should be eliminated, as they are detrimental to budgetary constraints of our country.

I believe, in a balanced budget amendment with the exception of a declaration of war.

I believe, that if it’s so easy to raise hundreds of millions of dollars for a Presidential Position that pays $400K a year, then the amount raised should be taxed.

I believe, in governing our own country, and never handing power of a New World Order to the United Nations for any treaty.

I believe, to insure the safety of our citizens, we need to secure our borders and enforce existing immigration, and hiring laws.

I believe, that English should be formally declared our official language, and should be used in business dealings at home, and English should be taught in school systems to mainstream students.

I believe, that immigrants to our country should be made to assimilate to our culture, and not the other way around.

I believe, global warming is a reality, but to declare that man made emissions are the main cause, based primarily on computer based models, is akin to believing that weathermen can predict next week’s weather based on a “preponderance of evidence.”

I believe in term limits for Congress.

I believe that lobbyists should be banned in our country!

I believe that campaign funding should ONLY come from within a Congressman or Senators' HOME state!

There is one areas I don't agree with the official Republican Platform:

I believe in Gay, and Lesbian Rights

I do not believe in same sex marriage though

I want to welcome everyone to my blog site. Everything you see is my opinion only. As we all know some sources are better then others, and when I see them as questionable, or open for conjecture, I back them up with another source. However, unfortunately, sometimes even these sources can be wrong, and if that is the case, I apologize. When researching a subject, my aim is to find the truth, and the facts and links to back it up. I don't take a position lightly, I research first and form an opinion from the collection of facts. I hope you enjoy the fruits of my research, because not everyone can devote the time to do this.......... because this work represents thousands of hours of time invested, if you copy and paste an article please insert a link back to my blog.
