Because today is Independence Day, I have become more contemplative than ever about our current state of freedom in America.Of course we are aware that illegal aliens are enjoying complete freedom in America – free from paying taxes, free medical care without question and freedom to live in a country and obtain benefits from it because they illegally entered it. But how are actual tax-paying citizens in America doing this Fourth of July?

Now that my friends have become aware of my political stance as a result of reading my blogs on this website, I receive a lot of information in my email. Another tidbit I was sent inspired me to write today’s entry about Parkland Memorial Hospital.Okay, where is Parkland Memorial Hospital and what makes it worth writing about? Parkland Memorial Hospital is located right in the heart of Bush domain and the good ol’ boys network – Dallas, Texas. There are some historical reasons why Parkland has been in the press over the past few decades. First, Parkland appeared in the media when John F. Kennedy died there in 1963 and Lee Harvey Oswald died there shortly afterwards. A few years later, just by alleged coincidence, Jack Ruby died at Parkland – for those who don’t remember, Ruby killed Lee Harvey Oswald.

Back on December 7, 1787, Delaware was the first states to ratify the United States Constitution. Although small in physical land size, Delaware seems to be big on progression. I recently read about an interesting event that occurs in the first state every week.It seems that every Sunday, at the intersection of Savannah Road and Kings Highway, people show up to support both sides of the war debate about Iraq. This weekly gathering has taken place every Sunday since September, 2004. Everyone stands motionless and silent, many bearing signs, for 45 minutes at this busy intersection in an otherwise quiet shore town of around 3,000 residents. A third group has gathered on the corner since January of this year with signs calling for the impeachment of President Bush.

Today I’ve decided to add a lighter touch to my traditionally serious blog entries. As regular readers know, I am actively involved in my community and truly enjoy the opportunity to blog about my perspective. My fellow volunteers are aware of this passion and I received a funny, yet accurate, email today that I felt the need to share. This piece was actually written by a famous comic with a unique viewpoint himself. My comments are right after each entry.

Memorial Day is a solemn occasion around my house as my family considers the people who lost their lives serving in Vietnam with my husband. Our prayers are with those people and our hearts go out to their loved ones, as well as the other soldiers who have served their country and given their lives over the years.

I have had a momentary diversion from my veteran husband’s medical concerns today as I read the statements made by former United States President, Jimmy Carter, regarding the current President, George Bush, Jr. Carter stated about Bush, quite accurately, that, “I think as far as the adverse impact on the nation around the world, this administration has been the worst in history.†Carter’s response was in response to a question that compared the Bush administration to Nixon’s foreign policy. The Carter statement was published in the Arkansas Democrat Gazette and it didn’t take Bush long to catch wind of it. Read the rest of this entry »

My husband, a former Marine and Vietnam veteran, was recently sent to the emergency room on his way to the VA hospital. After stopping at a local clinic on his way to the VA because he was dizzy, the clinic called me and let me know they were transporting him by ambulance to the local hospital emergency room because they were not equipped to perform all the necessary tests. The VA hospital in our community is over 50 miles from our residence and located in a town with houses that are impossible for disabled veterans to even dream of affording. Thus, the clinic stated my husband had to be sent to the local emergency room, despite the fact my husband and I let them know he was best sent to a VA hospital because of his special circumstances and medical history.

Okay, I will admit I have been a distracted blogger over the past couple of weeks because I got involved with some community Earth Day activities to clean up our neighborhood and a little piece of the world. With all the Earth Day hype starting to calm down a week later, I had a chance to think a bit more about the day and asked myself – what’s it really all about and when did it actually start?

Before you jump on the down with Don Imus bandwagon, you might want to stop for a moment and think about what it is that you’re truly fighting for or against. To be completely and totally clear, I am no Don Imus fan. The comments that he made were totally racist, sexist, and completely tasteless. However, and this is a big one, we live in one of the very few countries which “supposedly†allows the freedom of expression and the freedom of speech and what Don Imus said needs to be tolerated if we have any chance of keeping our so-called inherent right to voice our opinions publicly without the fear of censorship or punishment.
