Frustrated Republican - or am I?

I grew up being proud of my country. Thinking, believing, that first and foremost I am an American and that it something extraordinary. I’m not better than anyone else. I’m not superior. I come from a country that has fought for its freedom. That stands for honor, courage, and liberty. It saddens me to see what passes for “leadership” in the Congress and The White House. I’ve been a Republican since before I could vote, when it didn’t count. It is hard to call myself one these days. I feel my party has veered drastically off course and away from the values this country used to hold so close. I feel that way of our president sometimes, as well. When 9/11 happened I believe GWB was the man to have in office. No doubt in my mind that he was put there to help our country face an attack on our soul. What baffles my mind is why he has turned his back on us now. Whatever name you want to call it the Immigration Reform nonsense was/is amnesty. Allowing that amnesty nearly makes the sacrifices our men and women are making in theater null and void. No, we haven’t had an attack on our soil again – but it is only a matter of time. Until we close the borders, deal with the illegals that are here, and make some drastic changes to the system that allows immigrants entry into our country we are only delaying the inevitable.
