So, it's politics time. I'm not going to go into much about what I think of each candidate, but I will say this about the war in Iraq: I've held the opinion for some time that if we withdraw our troops now, it was all a waste. It would be a waste of money, of time, and the one that hits the closest to many of our homes--a waste of American soldiers' lives. What we stand for as a nation is freedom. We are known as a nation that doesn't fight wars on our own turf: we fight elsewhere for basic human rights of others'. That's what we're doing in Iraq, is fighting so that Iraqis will have freedom and democracy and basic rights that as Americans we believe are the "right" of every human being to have. I'm a supporter of the war, even knowing that my little brother is considering enlisting when he graduates from high school in May. My father-in-law sent me the following video, which was not paid for by McCain, and I thought I'd post it because it heavily echos my own feelings. It was made by an Iraq veteran, and I just think it's cool.
"...yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will be joyful in God my Savior." -Habakkuk 3:18
I haven't watched the video yet (I'm in my Mom's family room, and she's watching TV), but to what you wrote in your post, I have to say...here, here!! Huzzah! Hoo-rah! I agree. :)
ReplyDeleteI have something for you on my blog. Come check it out. I was tagged and now I pass it on to you.
ReplyDeleteLOL! You are right, it was Simon and Garfunkel. I don't know why said Peter, Paul and Mary. I guess that was a senior moment there for me. Thanks for correcting me. You have a Happy Friday too.
ReplyDeleteIt took me awhile too. I did a right click and saved the image to my computer on My pictures folder. I have a folder I now call blog stuff. Then when I did the post I did a add picture just like you do when you post pictures. And for added to the side bar I did an Add Gadget and I think I did add a picture there too. Hope that helps. Then I did a copy and paste for the instructions from the person who nominated me to get the instructions exactly as posted. Good luck!!
ReplyDeleteOkay, now I'm home and watched the video--that's awesome. I emailed it to a bunch of people.
