It's a great day to be an American. Here's 2 cheers to help us celebrate:
- Cheer #1 - It's election day. Our system still works, and it appears that we may be headed back to a more sensible, fiscally responsible Congress. The support for candidates at all levels of government show that people are tired of all the regulation and spending - especially since it has only exacerbated an economic sluggishness.
- Cheer #2 - The Girl Scouts announced that their uniforms are still going to be made in the US. What a travesty that would have been to have them made out of the country. Reminds me of a plastic American flag I got a few years ago at a 4th of July celebration with "CHINA" stamped on it.
- Cheer #3 - The 9th US Circuit Court of Appeals reversed a ruling that a lower court judge had made and left in tact indefinitely the current policy of "don't ask, don't tell" for the military. President Obama said he wants Congress to eliminate the ban. This is as it should be. Regardless of your position on the issue, one judge should not have the power to do what Congress and the President had not done. No one elected that judge, and he clearly was way outside his constitutional duty.
There are more positive indications that the momentum is shifting here at home, and we dodged a big one in the skies the other day.
Have a great day America.

Hi Steve! That's a great photo of our flag.....God Bless America!
Hi Steve thanks for a good post. And I could not agree with you more. Judges should not legislate and legislators should not judge. That is our system and you are right
Ann,
Thank you. Indeed, God, Bless America! :)
Steve
Charlie,

Today is the first step in taking back the peoples country. Enough is enough and change is most definitely needed.
The girl scouts actually though about going outside the country. That would have been a top story for sure.
Go VOTE
Enjoy the day
Don,
Today we get started on retaking our country. I voted last week so I would make sure it got done. :)

Steve,
Today is the big day, when all the speculating and talking comes to a halt.
Hopefully by the end of the day a message will be sent loud and clear. We the people are still in charge!
Steve,
This is when we turn over our cards to see who takes the pot. :)
