A few weeks ago I blogged about Parkland in Texas, a hospital who seems to specialize in delivering babies for parents who are not American citizens. No questions are asked and non-citizens who are not paying taxes are given complete care and treatment at no cost. The point of my article was to explore who is actually paying for this (taxpayers who are not privy to equivalent benefits, even in their most serious time of need) and raise awareness about how the money we are contributing to the system is being used. While taxpaying citizens do not have access to adequate medical care, single mothers send their children to bed hungry and veterans remain homeless, we wage overpriced wars in other countries and cater to people who illegally enter our borders.I received a comment about the blog that stated, “All I would like to say is that no one has no right to call someone else an ‘illegal immigrant’ or call a group of people ‘illegals’. If you think it is not fair how American citizens are not receive all these things the ‘illegals’ are receiving, then try writing articles on how the USA should focus on that, and not some war in the middle of nowhere.â€

I had taken a little break to clear my mind and rebuild my strength from the demands of everyday living. After a brief sabbatical, I now return to everyday life and blogging with enthusiasm.

The latest news I read upon returning to the “real†world (a world filled with false media, half truths and bold-faced lies so far removed from actual peace and prosperity) was the proposition of Sen. Russ Feingold. Apparently Feingold would like Congress to censure Bush for his assault against the Constitution and his management (or mis-management) of the war in Iraq.

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?
