Open Letters

I have a few open letters I would like to write while the G20 is still fresh in everyones mind…

Dear Mr. President,

Thank you for selecting Pittsburgh to hold your G20 conference, in an effort to demonstrate how we turned around and have a thriving economy, and REALLY appreciate you shutting down that same economy for 2 full days. I hope that something constructive came out of this annoyance. Additionally, who is going to cover the losses to all the small businesses that had to board up and close due to all the protesters you knew this fiasco would attract? Next time one of these comes around please remember that we have done our duty, and leave us off the short list.

Thank you,

Dear Frat Boy Luke,

What the hell were you thinking? You KNEW the potential problems that accompany the G20, and yet you were all for it. After all the damage is counted up, and all the lost wages are figured out, I hope your photo-op was worth it.

Dear protesters,

The G20 is over, get out of my city!

Inauguration 2009

With Inauguration day 2009 upon us, I felt as though it was time to think about the future of our troops and their families. Michelle Obama has stated that her first priority will be the military families, and I hope that is true. However history has shown us that whenever there was a president that was a democrat the first casualty was the military. Democrats tend to try to save move by depriving our military of funds and equipment. Once again I truly hope that the Obamas prove me wrong.

Additionally, I hope the future president does not pull the troops out of Iraq without a declaration of victory. Our troops performed flawlessly in the face of tremendous adversity and they deserve a “win” as much as their fallen comrades who gave their lives for our freedom and the freedom of the Iraqi people.

While you are sitting around, enjoying the freedom afforded to you by the constitution, take a moment and say a quiet prayer for those who are right now living in a desert to protect that freedom.
