Will of the People
By: pirate55 (Diary) | December 23rd at 08:59 AM |
On November 2nd, 2010, the American people informed their government they disapproved of this country’s current direction and overwhelmingly elected a significantly large number of Conservatives to the Congress of the United States. Unfortunately, due to the orderly transition of government, the will of the American people would not be set in place until January 5th, 2011. The ensuing period was intended for that transition | Read More »
Lockerbie Scotland Bomber-Revisited
By: pirate55 (Diary) | July 18th at 01:36 PM |
Back in August of last year I vigorously protested the decision in the United Kingdom to release upon compassionate grounds the only individual convicted for this heinous crime. I wrote in part…”Have you forgotten the pain of the victims themselves or their families? Have you forgotten that many were American citizens? It is obvious that you have and it is painfully obvious you don’t really | Read More »
Immigration Enforcement and Law Enforcement
By: pirate55 (Diary) | May 2nd at 01:30 PM |
One can’t help but notice the degradation of the law enforcement profession by liberals. In the past year, the profession had to endure and overcome the criticisms of “acting stupidly” in Cambridge, Massachusetts before all of the facts were in. The “Instant healing elixir” of beer was applied, because you know how much police officers love beer and oh I suppose donuts too! Such insulting stereotypes are | Read More »
Is It Time For Despair?
By: pirate55 (Diary) | December 22nd at 08:51 AM |
To the Republican National Committee: Good Morning and Merry Christmas to all of my fellow citizens. While I am a Republican,I find it ironic that I believe both major parties have abandoned the American “common man” in this time of great crisis. This peril we face did not just start yesterday, so for Republicans who say they never saw this coming, I say you must | Read More »
A Plea For Civilized Discourse
By: pirate55 (Diary) | December 18th at 09:35 AM |
While I am new to this site, I have been strongly conservative for many years. Now that I am retired from urban law enforcement, I can freely express myself, without a fear of censure. Yes everyone, try being a conservative in an urban environment sometimes wrought with crime. You know, where everyone points the finger at someone or something else when something goes wrong. Now | Read More »
America and Crime-Violent and Hateful
By: pirate55 (Diary) | December 1st at 01:45 PM |
As a 36 year veteran of urban law enforcement and now retired, recent events compel me to share a number of observations and opinions. I entered law enforcement in the late 1960′s during a period of great civil strife in this nation. There was violence for the sake of an anti-war movement and violence for the sake of a civil rights movement. Though conservative at the | Read More »
It’s Saturday Night!
By: pirate55 (Diary) | November 21st at 09:03 AM |
Wanted to share my e-mail to the Honorable Democratic Senator from Florida, Bill Nelson…………. I can’t help but ask you why the Senate would meet to discuss this issue on a Saturday night. Along with the Health Care Vote of the House of Representatives late on a Saturday night a few short weeks ago I have to ask this question. Is it because the Congress | Read More »
Leadership
By: pirate55 (Diary) | November 14th at 10:40 AM |
I have ordered my copy of “Going Rogue” and intend to read it as soon as I get it. It is from books, interviews we witness, the public record, and our inner sense of what is right and what is wrong that we should form our judgements of Sara Palin. We should reject media hype, whether it is bashing or praising and begin to independently | Read More »
Conservatism
By: pirate55 (Diary) | October 16th at 10:04 AM |
This much needs to be said. If this country fails to recognize it is on the path to socialism and with it the accompanying apathy, lack of pride, and the oh so important global citizenship, our country will be resigned to this pitiful path. My grandmother fled a part of the world 90 years ago and came here to make a better life for herself. | Read More »
Lockerbie, Scotland
By: pirate55 (Diary) | August 23rd at 05:54 AM |
Just sent this note to the Scottish government……….. As an American citizen I am completely outraged by your government’s decision to release a convicted terrorist on compassionate grounds after only 8 years of incarceration. When divided by the over 250 lives which were lost that comes to about 31.25 lives per year of incarceration or 2.6 lives per month. As a retired law enforcement officer | Read More »
