America can do better than this
Published 9:51am Friday, September 7, 2012I see the Democratic National Convention started off with a bang.
First, they decided to drop God’s name from their party platform while at the same time announcing their unwavering support for the “legal” killing of unborn babies. Then, they assured us that marriage would be redefined to include same-sex couples.
In the meantime, Raul Castro weighed in from Cuba pledging his unwavering support for President Barack Obama. While all of this was going on, we watched the U.S. debt clock rocket past the $16 trillion mark, $5 trillion of which has come under the Obama administration’s watch in the last 44 months!
It doesn’t matter whether you’re a Democrat, Republican or independent, we can do better folks. We have to do better for the sake of our children and grandchildren!

A point of clarification: Since I wrote this letter, and after a huge floor fight, the Democrats wisely allowed God’s name back into their platform. I’m glad to see clearer heads prevailed. Also, the comments made by Raul Castro, president of Cuba sounded recent when in fact he made these comments back in 2008. I apologize for the mixup.
Difficult to sort things out….Castros in Cuba, a Castro speaking at the DNC….conservative and liberal God….republican debt, democratic debt…unborn dead, piles of rotting human bodies…
So I guess it’s time to blame everyone but myself.
