Another reason why my father, a farmer and rancher his whole life, believed that unions were the bane of free men everywhere. "Unions are only for themselves," he would say. "They don't care what happens to anyone else."
This story makes it abundantly clear that he was right.
After 31 years of government service, most of that in Law Enforcement and the rest in the military, it goes without saying that I'm a bit conservative. I believe that the Constitution needs no improvement and has certainly been over-interpreted by zealous, liberal politicians and judges. I believe that the United States was founded as a Christian nation but with freedom of religion for all. I believe that efforts to remove God from the government are wrong because the government needs all the ethical guidance it can get. While I like many places on this earth, and have enjoyed traveling and living in those places, I believe that none of them are good as the United States. We have our problems and we are not perfect, but there is a reason that there are long lines of people outside the American Consulate awaiting their turn for a visa just to come and visit. And I know, without a doubt, that there are those, both within and without, who wish to destroy America because of the very success that we have had as a nation. I pray every day that, in the end, we will pass on to our children and grandchildren a nation as great as the one we inherited from our forefathers.
