What I don’t understand about Congress

I was watching a program on cable that was discussing the difference between how democrats and republicans think about the issues (economy, immigration, foreign affairs and others). The discussion was focused on the DNC Convention and the presumed nominee and her VP selection.

One thing popped up concerning the events with Israel was one of the hosts (a democrat) who cited a significant number of members of congress who were Jewish and democrats. That got me to wondering why then is congress as a whole waffling on support for Israel and trying to get Israel to taper off their ability to defend themselves militarily in order to end the fighting, which Israel did not start? Then I wonder if more members of congress are Christians (differing denominations/faiths) why then are they taking a knee to the vocal minority of members who are full on supporting Hamas?

What is even puzzling are the other issues which democrats on both sides of the isle are actively supporting or by being silent.

Case in point is Abortion – the unborn are human beings and our constitution guarantees even them the right to life. As that right is extinguished it is called a woman’s choice. The only choice is whether or not to murder the unborn and in some instances the new born when discussed between the doctor and the mother AFTER BIRTH!

Another Case in Point is Immigration – the constitution does not provide any rights for non-citizens, PERIOD. Nor does it assign special rights or privileges to those who break the law by coming into this nation unlawfully.

The constitution does provide rights and privileges to citizens of the U.S. and many in government have tried to remove, extinguish or punish American citizens for exercising those rights.

So instead of cuddling up to America’s law breakers or known sworn enemies it is the duty of government to protect its citizens at home and abroad and it is the duty of its citizens to protect and defend the constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic.

Being a patriotic American is neither being democrat, independent or republican. It’s not choosing sides for the sake of optics or politics, it is simply what American’s do for our country – not too our country.

Being an American in a foreign country it’s easy to spot another American. They are openly friendly and anxious to talk to another American about God, home, apple pie and about family and when you come upon a facility or compound where the stars and stripes wave – it’s quite emotional.

America stands for FREEDOM and we won’t let anyone take that away. – RTM
