Dear Friends,
Today I spent several hours protesting President Obama's wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Somalia, Pakistan, etc. when he came to Minneapolis to speak to the American Legion convention. It was really a protest about priorities. We spend trillions on war and fail to take care of our veterans, our children, the poor, the infrastructure, the schools, etc. What kind of a nation have we become when military spending is more important than people?
I do not really think that my protest will change anything, but I can always hope, but I am glad that I exercised my Constitutional right to protest. I hope that my grandchildren will be able to exercise their Constitutional rights when they are my age, and I hope they do.
Thanks for reading and please comment,
The Unabashed Liberal
