It has been a long and irritating experience for me the way media
personnel appear to knowingly twist and abuse our language (USA
English). And these abuses are not limited only to media individuals,
but include elected officials, government employees, and others who
should know better but in my opinion deliberately misuse words to
further whatever agenda the person is after.
One of the most notorious, in my opinion, misuses of a word is
"Democracy". It continues to amaze and offend me how many of
even supposedly intelligent and well educated politicians with an 'R' in
their voter registration continue to refer to the USA form of
government as 'Democracy' or democratic. A study of the
Constitution which established the USA and of the contemporary
written "Federalist Papers" will quickly establish that a 'Democracy'
was the very last form of government desired. In fact, in my
schooling, back in the 1930s and 1940s we were taught that as
Benjamin Franklin came out of the meeting hall where the Constitution
was being debated and written a woman asked him, "What have we"
and he replied "A Republic, if you can keep it".
Of course we are now immersed in an all-out effort on the part
of most of the Democrat officials, both party and elected office
holders, to destroy that REPUBLIC and turn the USA into a socialist
or even communist dictatorship, with them being the dictators. My
thought is that perhaps if they could be required to go and live in such
a nation for a few years, perhaps their minds would become
permanently changed. They don't understand why for more than 240
years hundreds of thousands of freedom seeking people have come
here LEGALLY seeking the freedoms guaranteed by the Constitution
and given by GOD. And the USA has been a shining beacon to the
World as the absolute greatest form of government. It seems to me
that this misuse is not accidental, but a contrived part of the movement
to bring about the changes desired. Also, much of the problem stems
from the capture of the school systems by the "education
establishment" which has been captured by the forces of, in my
opinion, evil.
As an aside to that, a number of decades ago a very well
thought of radio and newspaper commentator stated that the name of
the party the officials of which are now pushing most for these
changes was officially established as "DEMOCRAT" and NOT
"Democratic", which is not a noun but an adjective as in "democratic
elections".
On the other side, an almost universal misuse of a word is
Republic. Many dictatorship nations for decades have made the
name something with Republic. Such was pre-WWII Germany
ruled by the Nazi Party calling it the "Socialist Republic of Germany".
Those two words are diametric opposites and should never be
used together as a name. This is done to confuse uninformed
citizens and the rest of the World population and give the nation
a semblance of legitimacy. The same criticism applies to those
who use the term 'republic' with democratic in the name.
Another twist of grammar is the use of 'Liberal' in
describing those of a C/F/S persuasion. The true definition of
liberal would have it apply to those now called 'conservative'
since it is those of us in the latter group whose goal is a more
liberal set of laws allowing the most freedom of choice possible,
the leaving as much of the rewards of labor in the workers
pockets, or bank accounts, and other befits existing in a truly
free nation.
On that issue, and at the risk of being accused of excessive
repetition, it seems appropriate to bring up, again, the subject of
the proposed "FairTax", a House Bill that has been introduced
at the beginning of the last several Congresses with as many as
68 co-sponsors and hopefully also this Congress. Biblically it is
warned 'do not muzzle the ox treading out the grain', today's
meaning 'it is immoral to take in the form of taxes the fruits of a
person's labor (income tax permitted by Amendment XVI). I
have encouraged OK District one Congressman Kevin Hern to
sign up this year and suggest that each of us do so to both
Senators and Congressman, and any others in the personal circle
of acquaintances. With this House make up passage will truly
be a miracle.

Fw: Army Doctor

 Army Doctor

Being born in 1= 940, I can remember stories of hardships

=

from the major conflicts the American military men have endured. 

= Written By Capt. Steven R. Ellison, M.D., US= Army

 

This should be r= equired reading in every school and college in our country. This Captain, an= Army doctor, deserves a medal himself for putting this together. If you cho= ose not to pass it on, fine, but I think you will want to, after you read it= .

 

 

I am a doctor specializing in the Emergency Department= s of the only two military Level One-Trauma Centers, both in San Antonio, TX= . We care for civilian emergencies as well as military personnel. San Antoni= o has the largest military retiree population in the world living here. As a= military doctor, I work long hours and the pay is less than glamorous. One t= ends to become jaded by the long hours, lack of sleep, food, family contact a= nd the endless parade of human suffering passing before you. The arrival of a= nother ambulance does not mean more pay, only more work. Most often, it is a= victim from a motor vehicle crash.

 

Often it is a person of dubious character who has been shot o= r stabbed.

With our= large military retiree population, it is often a nursing home patient. Even= with my enlisted service and minimal combat experience in Panama, I have ca= ught myself groaning when the ambulance brings in yet another sick, elderly p= erson from one of the local retirement centers that cater to military retire= es. I had not stopped to think of what the citizens of this age group repres= ented.

 

=

 

I saw 'Saving Private Ryan.' I was touched deepl= y. Not so much by the carnage, but by the sacrifices of so many. I was touch= ed most by the scene of the elderly survivor at the graveside, asking his wi= fe if he'd been a good man. I realized that I had seen these same men and wo= men coming through my Emergency Dept. and had not realized what magnificent s= acrifices they had made. The things they did for me and everyone else that h= as lived on this planet since the end of that conflict are priceless.=

 

Situation permitting, I now try to ask my patients about thei= r experiences.They would never bring up the subject without my inquiry. I ha= ve been privileged to hear an amazing array of experiences, recounted in the= brief minutes allowed in an Emergency Dept. encounter. These experiences ha= ve revealed the incredible individuals I have had the honor of serving in a m= edical capacity, many on their last admission to the hospital.

 = ;

 

There w= as a frail, elderly woman who reassured my young enlisted medic,trying to st= art an IV line in her arm. She remained calm and poised, despite her illness= and the multiple needle-sticks into her fragile veins. She was what we call= a 'hard stick.' As the medic made another attempt, I noticed a number tatto= oed across her forearm. I touched it with one finger and looked into her eye= s. She simply said, ' Auschwitz ..' Many of later generations would have lou= dly and openly berated the young medic in his many attempts. How different w= as the response from this person who'd seen unspeakable suffering.

&= nbsp;

 

<= span style=3D"font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;" class=3D"">A= lso, there was this long retired Colonel, who as a young officer had parachu= ted from his burning plane over a Pacific Island held by the Japanese. Now a= n octogenarian, he had a minor cut on his head from a fall at his home where= he lived alone. His CT scan and suturing had been delayed until after midni= ght by the usual parade of high priority ambulance patients. Still spry for h= is age, he asked to use the phone to call a taxi, to take him home, then he r= ealized his ambulance had brought him without his wallet. He asked if he cou= ld use the phone to make a long distance call to his daughter who lived 7 mi= les away. With great pride we told him that he could not, as he'd done enoug= h for his country and the least we could do was get him a taxi home, even if= we had to pay for it ourselves. My only regret was that my shift wouldn't e= nd for several hours, and I couldn't drive him myself.

I was there the n= ight M/Sgt Roy Benavidez came through the Emergency Dept. for the last time.= He was very sick. I was not the doctor taking care of him, but I walked to h= is bedside and took his hand. I said nothing. He was so sick, he didn't know= I was there. I'd read his Congressional Medal of Honor citation and wanted t= o shake his hand. He died a few days later.

 

The gentleman who served with Merr= ill's Marauders,

 

the survivor of the Bataan Death March,

 

=

the survivor of Om= aha Beach,

 

the 101 year old World War I veteran,

 

the former POW held in frozen= North Korea,

 

the former Special Forces medic - now with non-operable liver= cancer,

 

the former Viet Nam Corps Commander.

 

I may still groan when yet another= ambulance comes in, but now I am much more aware of what an honor it is to s= erve these particular men and women.

 

I have seen a Congress who would turn t= heir back on these individuals who've sacrificed so much to protect our libe= rty. I see later generations that seem to be totally engrossed in abusing th= ese same liberties, won with such sacrifice.

 

It has become my personal endeavo= r to make the nurses and young enlisted medics aware of these amazing indivi= duals when I encounter them in our Emergency Dept. Their response to these p= articular citizens has made me think that perhaps all is not lost in the nex= t generation.

 

My experiences have solidified my belief that we are losing an i= ncredible generation, and this nation knows not what it is losing. Our uncar= ing government and ungrateful civilian populace should all take note. We sho= uld all remember that we must   'earn this.'

 

 

If it wer= en't for the United States Military, there'd be   NO   United States of America!

 

And now as you have finished reading this, our C= ongress enjoys their&n= bsp;  free   medical care, are in= the process of charging these people for their medical care and at the same= time possibly reducing their retirement pay. A typical political <= span style=3D"font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;" class=3D"">&= nbsp;"Thank you" for their Service
