Clinton's night? Maybe not.

All the buzz today has centered around Hillary's comeback in the key states of Texas, and Ohio for the most part. There was a noticeable glow in her mood as she was interviewed by TV and radio hosts. The glow, however, pales when contrasted with statements made by British Foreign Secretary David Miliband according to a story put out by BBC News this past November.

Secretary Miliband's remarks regarding what he felt should be Britain's position vis a vis a grand European (EU) including Turkey, and Middle eastern countries, and Russia have not been received too warmly by all British people. His vision of a "model power"status for an expanded European union certainly should perk up the ears of the American people, especially today in a charged presidential election campaign. Secretary Miliband would be seconded, I am sure, by the likes of Senator John Kerry in his quest for a "superstate". Although he cautions such an expanded EU would be only a "club that countries want to join", nonetheless, the warning bells of socialism are ringing loudly.

It all makes sense then, the calls from the left in this country to renew America's "lost" stature in the world community. The pressure to sign the LOST(law of the sea treaty") treaty, accusations of a diminished American influence due to the intransigence of the Bush Administration, pressures to adopt World Court jurisdiction over alleged transgressions by American Military forces acting abroad in defense of our country, and so much more.

If the radical Liberal, socialistic views prevail, then we may be saying good bye to our Constitution. The inroads made by a leftist judiciary in tearing away at the fabric of what ostensibly was projected to bind us together those many years ago, are yet repairable, but only barely so.

The question we should be asking ourselves: what does it mean to be an American? This question must be asked early, and often, of each one of us. Won't you join in asking each member of your family that question? Will those of whom you ask the question be able to put their answer into some historical context? That is my question of you.

And now, back to the education of the grandchildren...
