On Memorial Day, I couldn't help but remember the millions of Americans who fought for our freedom since this country was founded. At the same time, I thought of the politicians I voted for in the last four elections who gave us the unresponsive government we have in Washington.

Many soldiers gave their lives for this country, yet those rogues in Washington, who have offices around here in Ventura, are passing out free citizenship to people who have no right to be here. It doesn't make sense to me. This problem should have been resolved eight years ago.

After World War II, a popular phrase summed up what we should keep in mind: “Remember Pearl Harbor." Does anyone know what that means today?

An election is coming up next year, and we the people will be having some pretty frank discussions on talk radio, the Internet and the cable news. I don't think the old politicians will get away with giving away America anymore.
