Be sure to vote, thank military

This is an election year and you can thank our military for the freedom to vote. You can thank your liberals for keeping that vet from voting. They have tried. While liberals have given illegal a definition as loose as a Clinton “is,” non-American invaders have sucked the life out of state budgets.

Wouldn’t you count 14 million illegals an invasion? Liberals are hell-bent to ruin our military through economic strangulation … perhaps to pay for those illegals. They cried obscenities about our Middle East wars. But we can’t sustain America as we know it without that oil because liberals won’t let America drill at home.

Now liberals want to inflict homosexual mores on the military. Will you surrender your social values without a fight? Or would you just surrender America? There may be a way to bring America back to a semblance of common decency. If liberals want the military to stop activities overseas, bring them all home. But, bring them home to the 49th parallel — the Canada border — and then have them search out our invaders! A win-win-win situation.

Illegals would clog the American roads heading south for months, health care/welfare costs would plummet, drug running would become very difficult, and outstanding warrants would be filled! Show me your papers is not a racist thing, it is a matter of legality.

This November you have a choice. You can continue to give away America, or you can elect a real conservative to take it back! You gave liberals total control of America in 2008. What a mistake. This is the time to get correct change!

Our military swears to support and defend the Constitution of the United States from foreign and domestic enemies. You can still vote … you can thank our military for that. Maybe that is why liberals are so intent to ruin it.
