hello, i am a slightly past middle aged man, that truly is what my name implies. i have a number of problems, but nothing causes me more grief than the current state of politics in this nation. it makes me sick to think of all the men and women who have fought for this country, and paid the ultimate price. if they had known then, what was to come, would they have been so willing to do so? i think many would not have been so eager. there was a time, that their service, and sacrifice was honored, and remembered. some of us, still do. but the majority of the "in power", have forgotten their sacrifice and service. some could even care less. it is perfectly clear to me, that the current brood of political baboons, DO NOT HAVE THE WELL BEING OF THIS COUNTRY IN THEIR HEARTS AND MINDS. i am not certain exactly where their loyalty falls, but it is NOT with the United States of America, The Constitution, or its people. it is my belief that they have either chosen to forget, or to totally ignore their pledge, of DEFENDING THE CONSTITUTION that they SWORE TO DO when they took office. it is also my belief, that if a panel of patriots were assembled, and the members of congress, the senate, and the presidency were reviewed. there would be MANY indictments of everything from dereliction of duty, corruption, embezzlement, to downright treason handed down. if the strictest definition of treason were held, i think there would be more boots swinging, than sitting at desks.
