Saying It Right

-
Wow. Here is a column in the Tampa Tribune by an American. That's all I can say to describe him... because his words are SO familiar to every other true American.

This is a real "feel good" column... mainly because it speaks for all of us (well, except for the moonbats, of course).

[[ The war against terrorism, especially in Iraq, has caused many Americans to ask if the cost is worth it. They watch television and read the papers about the casualties and terrorist suicide attacks. The media report daily the number of soldiers killed in Iraq but rarely report the positive events.

What if these same Americans had been around in 1944 and 1945? In 1944, the Marines stormed Iwo Jima in the Pacific. In about five weeks, they had more than 6,000 Marines killed and more than 19,000 wounded. Shortly following that battle, U.S. forces attacked the island of Okinawa, where more than 12,000 military personnel died.

Congressman Charles Rangel of New York continues to preach that the poor, the uneducated and minorities make up the majority of the military because they cannot find other jobs. That is not true. The military has a higher percentage of high school graduates than the overall population. A recent study by the Heritage Foundation, comparing incomes by ZIP codes, reported that 66 percent of our military forces come from the middle or upper class.

We live in the greatest, most compassionate, most generous and most religious country in the world. A percentage of our population does not appreciate that, for whatever reason.

We are the light of the world, and the majority of our population must begin to express itself so that those who would defame and debase this great country are placed on the ash heap of history where they belong. God bless America! ]]

Yeah!!
