I am not the most partisan person here at all. As a matter of fact, I don't think either party has an exclusive on integrity or ideas. I grew up a Democrat, and now I'm a Republican. Argue with us about the role of the Federal Government in education and whether it is best at the local level, the State level or Federal level. Argue with us whether the health care system should be turned over to the government or private. But don't argue with us whether we are fighting these threats of global jihadism and whether we unite anymore at the water's edge in defense of liberty. Don't argue with us on that. Join us. Be patriotic and honor the sacrifice and the legacy of the Greatest Generation.
