Objective of this Blog

It is my intention of posting items here that I find of interest to the general reader who has a concern for what is happening in the United States today. My view is from a left of center perspective. This is done with the knowledge that my sources or myself might be wrong. I will not print anything I don't have good reason to believe is true knowing that someone else may not agree.

Come Home America

A letter writer in The Record of Bergen County, NJ noted that with all the problems we are facing and the growing cost in manpower and money in our involvement in foreign countries it is time for us as a nation to heed the advise of George McGovern who in 1972 urged America to "come home".  The last part of his acceptance speech at the Democratic Convention was his plea for us to "come home America".  I have thought of this campaign and its message a number of times recently and wished I had written the letter.  I called the writer in question and thanked him for writing it.
