The Walk Homeland Security

A Serious Look at Homeland Security

We live in a land where marketing is everything!
We live in a culture that sells us things to make
us feel better, live easier and do things faster
with less energy. Sadly, we also live in a culture
that wants us to think less and buy more. It has
effected our waistlines, our gas lines and our
guidlelines on what we will and won't tolerate.

The people we sent to Washington have taken
this as just a part of what we do and market
candidates, plans, policies and even laws. The
history of this nation and its constitution have
been set on the back burnner - not because
our leaders have neglected our rights but
because we have neglected our responsibilities.

We were attacked on 9-11, 2001. The United
States began to respond quickly. Many of
the things that were done came from people
who had a single mindedness we need to
understand but not mimic. We need to consider
all of the military options. All of the economic
options and all of the social options.

From our early days as a nation, we have
examples of great leaders who sent
soldier into the west to preserve the peace
and individuals to make certain the Native
Americans had no legitimate reasons
to attack American civilians. John Kennedy
created the Special Forces who were sent
to Vietnam armed with weapons to fight
if need be, but armed with knowledge of
the culture to help the understand the
people there were they to help and a
lot of information that would help them
make better lives for themselves and
their families.

Americans have never run from a fight.
I don't think we ran in Vietnam. We have
found in impossible to win when we allowed
ourselves to get dragged down by the
greed and corruption that has been a
part of the history of conquest since
the days cavemen and women climbed
from those holes in the sides of hills and
mountains.

This nation was the first to alter what
we did in the aftermath of The American
Revolution. We need to return to being
the standard that all nations looked to
become. We need to; once again, be the
light of what is just and moral.

We need to remember we; as a people,
have no desire to become like those
we fight. We didn't in 1776 and we
shouldn't in 2010.

That doesn't mean that we become blind
to obvious problems. Failing to act when
there is probable cause is no more right,
than acting against someone where there
is none. We The People have no right to
appear morally superior before the world.
We have every need to be morally superior
before those who would use The United
States and the Standard by which all nations
should be judged.
