| Accuracy can make one uncomfortablehttp://booksbikesboomsticks.blogspot.com/2009/07/happy-fourth-of-july.html
Today is the day when real Americans light off fireworks (or, in many states, watch the government light off fireworks for them) to celebrate conscription and income taxes, zoning laws and the FDA! Two-flush toilets and government-mandated florescent light bulbs! Seat belt laws and helmet mandates!
An honest look at how things really are, uncomfortable in a refreshing sort of way!

| D-DayToday marks 65 years since the first D-Day, the one where American, Canadian, British and other forces pushed through by force of will and blood the Nazi forces entrenched on the French coast at Normandy to eventually free Europe from Nazi tyranny.
In the history of the twentieth century, especially the history of America, I believe D-Day to be the defining moment of our nation in this era. Ever since then we have looked back, and been proud. Though an imperfect nation we are, and though there have been mistakes made, some on a massive scale, we can all look back to those young men charging up beaches in France and say that on that day, we did something exceptionally right and good. June sixth was the day that America got into the war in Europe, feet on the ground close combat, and it was the day that Germany lost the war. And today, through all the muck and mire of today's world every one of us can look back to that day on Normandy's beaches as the reason anyone anywhere in the western world lives in a free country, or doesn't speak German for that matter.
I leave whatever else need be though or said, to your minds and hearts, fill on this day I hope with love for those men, who charged and died for you and me and all people of the free world.
Twenty Five years ago today the twentieth century's greatest president stood at Pointe Du Hoc and spoke about the twentieth century's greatest day:

| I took this picture today, from google maps. I am really not sure why I went looking for this particular bit of America, but I'm glad I did. Never before had I looked at this landscape the way I did today, I did not realize it was so large. The rows are barely visible from this distance, making it seem as little more than large corn field outside one of our large cites;
I had never seen Arlington like this or noticed that it is nearly as big as the city of washington, and it struck me as profoundly beautiful, and humbling. I cannot immagine how politicians can walk so close to the best of our country, and produce the worst of it themselves.
