Mountainman, Thank You for that post. It is good to know that there are still many among us, who appreciate the sacrifices that keep us free.
Please, everyone, forgive me this, but it something that I must say.
I am proud to be one of those who are called "Veterans".
I am proud to be numbered among the Men, and Women, who have served, suffered, or died, to protect our way of life, and our freedom.
That said, this then I say to all who are elected to represent us, or seek to be elected to represent us:
"We" believe in, and accept as the supreme law of this land, the Constitution of The United States of America. We have served, and suffered, and given our lives to defend that "supreme law".
It now is your task to support and defend that Constitution, and protect it from desecration by those who would seek to supplant it with "other law".
The oath of office taken, "to support and defend the Constitution of The United States of America" binds you, the elected officials, to the same goal that we, the physical defenders, have also committed ourselves.
There is only one correct way to change the Constitution, and that is by amendment. In the end, it takes three fifths of the people's vote to ratify an amendment. if that does not happen, the new amendment cannot be added, and the "law" does not change.
Be our representatives, not domestic enemies!
Obey, support, and defend the Constitution of The United States of America.
Keep it, and only it, the supreme law of this land !
It may help, if you the elected, you the seeker of elected office, read and understand that law before you try to act, out of some other belief, to take the freedoms "of the people", not of the one, but of the many, from us.

We always learn far more from our own mistakes, than we will ever learn from another's advice.
The greatest place to live life, is on the sharp leading edge of a learning curve.
Lead me not into temptation.....I can find it myself!
