I'm starting this blog, called MyAmerica2, because I have a lot to say about a lot of things. As a Chief Master Sergeant in the United States Air Force, we used to joke that "if you want an opinion, go ask the Chief, 'cause they have an opinion about everything". This is not going to be only about Politics, although I will certainly discuss politics. It is not about social issues, although I will certainly comment on those as well. It is not only about sports, or religion, or recipes, or patriotism, or anything else, because it is about all of them...it is about my view(s) of America.
It is about "my America" and the fact that, in this politically charged, politically correct world, I have an opinion too. So My America counts as much as anybody else. that is a concept I think is lost in our society today. That even though we may disagree, that doesn't mean I'm any more or less "right" because of my opinion or convictions. I can even accept that although we disagree, I may in fact still like you :-). MyAmerica2 is what I think about, and why I think it. There are many lessons I have learned over the years, and I have changed my thoughts and opinions because of that experience. So I think that I'm at the point where I have at least a solid baseline in which to express those opinions, and maybe help someone along the way. Thomas Edison once said "Don't be a person of success, rather, be a person of value".
So I invite you to come along with me on this journey as I reflect on stuff, think about stuff, and even debate myself on other stuff. I hope you'll chime in and challenge me at times...although I win cause it's my blog. Many of you know I am radically patriotic, doggedly conservative, and passionately passionate about a lot of things...but I still might surprise you every now and again.
Because it's MyAmerica2...
