On this Memorial Day, I was remembering my cousin Charley; son of my Dad's brother, Charles. Charley was a pilot in WW-II. He was killed early in the South Pacific campaign. The cemeteries are filled with millions like him; decent young men who gave up their lives for what they believed was their duty and their country.
And then you have the Clintons of this nation, those who "loathe the military"; and the Obamas for whom service was never even considered and the Kagans who refuse to allow the military to come onto their workplace.
I've chosen my side, my Americans.
And you?
About Me
- Jim Sweeney
- This blog is about politics and people. Politically, I'm a conservative independent with city, state and federal campaign history but not party affiliation. I think of myself as a libertarian but I'm not a Libertarian. I'm a capitalist, a Milton Friedman economics believer. In real life, I'm a lawyer and consultant to both start-up and operating companies and founder of the American Children International Foundation. I've substantial business experience, including being CEO of a public company. I am single, live in Arcadia CA, have 4 grown children and a 10 year old son; served in the Marine Corps; enjoy baseball, tennis and am a warm weather guy. Hawaii is my favorite vacation place. It's America for one thing, blue-state America but you can't have it all.
