Not Ashamed Of My Country

[moosmom]

I do think there needs to be tighter controls and a constant vigilance to secure our borders for everyone safety

THAT'S what I meant.

Oh and, BTW, I'm NOT ashamed of our country, only the big guy in that big White House.

and work my way up!!!

Actually, I HAVE considered running for Mayor! But I don't think I could be serious enough to run an effective campaign. I immediately start thinking of goofy sign I could post mocking my opponent. Flyers I could make which say, "I know nothing about government, collecting taxes or running your town. If you want a career politician and a seasoned veteran, then YOU DO NOT WANT to vote for me... all things considered, I still think I am a better choice than my opponent - and that's not saying much for him".

Seriously though, I think it is a lot harder being President than it is "wanting" to be President. I think I really only want to be President for a day... maybe 10 minutes... just long enough to pass a law or make a decision on an issue that I am currently upset over! Then I'm done. At least until I want to be President for another 10 minutes.

I love my country too!!! The leaders, however, leave a lot to be desired!!! I too supported GW but think he has made a series of big goofs lately.

Everyone of my male relatives has been in some form of the service. I support the men and women in the armed services 100%

Maybe if we could help the countries where all the immigrants are coming from become better places to live and work, that would help solve the problem. I would rather some of our tax dollars go to a program like that than into a space program to mars or something. Either that, or make those countries part of the US, then they wouldn't need to immigrate. (just kidding folks)

We do need to stop giving illegals free services so easily though. I know lots of Americans who can't get medical help but illegals can get it easily. For them the streets of the US are paved with gold. Still, I can't blame anyone for wanting a better life for themselves or their families.

We do need to get a grip on those borders though or someday we will wake up to be the United States of ?????

We have some of the same problems in Canada.
Money is like Blood,it has to circulate to do any good,and its staying in too few pockets.
Thats the main problem with the Economy!
