Naval Power – how important is it?

The King

“The United States Navy controls all of the oceans of the world. Whether it’s a junk in the South China Sea, a dhow off the African coast, a tanker in the Persian Gulf, or a cabin cruiser in the Caribbean, every ship in the world moves under the eyes of American satellites in space and its movement is guaranteed—or denied—at will by the U.S. Navy. The combined naval force of the rest of the world doesn’t come close to equaling that of the U.S. Navy.”

Pledge of Allegiance

The Symbol of Freedom

Say it with me…

The Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag:

“I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the
United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation
under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.”

The Arguement for Freedom

Big Brains

Some of the most powerful words ever written in the history of man…

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.–That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed…” 

Please take the time to help me celebrate the 4th of July by reading the Declaration of Indendence.

Word to the Wise

Choose Wisely

“All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.” (Edmund Burke) 

Please don’t forget, in order for a Republic to survive, one’s vote matters.  Do your research and above all else, choose wisely. It is up to all of us if we are to continue one of the greatest experiments of all time, the United States of America.
