ONLY TIME WILL TELL

I am 82 years of age and have lived through many Presidents. (13) Some have been good and then there are some who have been a disaster to our way of life. I am not pointing a finger at any particular one because there has not been one of them that I agreed with 100% of the time.
I was raised as a Democrat in my youth. Along came Franklin D. Roosevelt with his Social Programs that were intended to be temporary at the time and WWII. I voted the first time for Harry S.Truman. He had enough intestinal fortitude to end the war by dropping the Atomic Bombs on Japan. Thereby saving many American lives by ending the war.
After coming home from the war and settling down, starting a family I became a Republican. As time moved on I became a Conservative Republican and have voted for the Republicans all these many years even though I did not agree with all they proposed. They offered more of what I believed in than the Democrats did.
Over these past few years I have become disenchanted with the Republican Party. As a whole they have become more like the Democrats. Spending money on ear marks, pork barrel as well as graft. It seems to me that most people think the government owes them something. We have become a country of people who have sought pleasure more than the important things of life. We have as a country out sourced most of our manufacturing to other countries. Countries who would stab us in the back at any opportunity. We are becoming weaker by the year and as I see it are giving up the values and standards that this country was built on these past 200+years. Two of my progenitors came on the Mayflower in 1620, Thomas Rogers and Francis Cook. They came to build a new life for their families. All my progenitors came to this country from England, Wales and Scotland. They came to establish a new life for themselves and their families. There was no Food Stamp or Welfare programs, no Medical, no Free Schools for their children. I could go on and on but it all comes down to this time and where we are in our history. We at this time are a bankrupt nation. Our dollar is very weak around the world. The Federal Reserve is printing money 24 hours a day and has nothing to back it up. We as a nation have sold our souls to the devil and his helpers the World Bankers. When it comes to selecting a leader of this great Country we had two choices. One the most Liberal Democrat in the Senate, and the other a Rhino Republican. The people of this country have made their choice. Now we all have to live with their choice. We love our country and family. We don't want our children,
grandchildren and great grandchildren encumbered with so much debt they will have to pass it on to their progeny. I do know with all Obama has promised he will dig even a deeper pit than what has already been dug by both parties. The people of this nation are turning away from God and in time will find they have made a big mistake after we go deeper into Socialism.
Now there are some in my family who most likely will not agree with what I have said. I have said what I said and make no apologies for it. I am who I am, my father's son and a dedicated American. Only time will tell how big a mistake has been made with their choice of Obama and Biden along with the House and Senate and soon to be the Supreme Court Justice replacements.

That is 100% accurate and thank you for your military service. Too bad more people aren't brave enough to tell it like it is. Your blog is very nice.

Thank you Bill and June. Bill you and I share many things in common. I too was born into a family of Democrats, served in the U.S. Navy, and have become a Conservative Republican. I have to admit that I have not always been enamored with the Republican Party, I voted for Ross Perot - following my conscience at the time. I had some indirect association with Ross Perot and knew him to be an honest and honorable man. The rest of my voting years have been for Republicans.

I very much enjoyed your brief biography, and am very pleased to develop a friendship with you and your lovely wife June.

My mother and step-dad are temple workers in the Ogden, Utah temple, and enjoy it immensely.

Thank you for sharing your family with me.

Thank you for your wonderful perspective and for sharing your history. We couldn't agree more! I have sent it to all of our children.
