Memorial Day...something to consider

Written by Rodica Novak on . Posted in Guest Articles

Publisher’s note:  Rodica Novak escaped Romania many years ago to find the American Dream.  She is a Patriot and fears that America is on the verge of becoming what she left behind so long ago.  

She had some thoughts she wanted to share, and while I did need to do just a little editing, I didn’t touch the essence of what she wants us to know.  Because many of us, myself included, that have never known anything other than the relative cake walk that America is, don’t really have a grasp on what life is like in so many places.  I cannot thank her enough for sharing her heartfelt beliefs as we begin this very solemn weekend of reflection.

Rodica Novak:  My thoughts are about the VA scandal.  In 1980 I came to America legally from a communist country.  I was born in Bucharest, Romania in 1949 and came here to escape from the communist regime…I came here for Freedom!

Freedom is the most important reason why the people like me come to America…freedom!  I work, I pay taxes, I became an American Citizen, and I love this Country very much.  I do know the history of America, the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. In the past 5 years we have seen a very bitter regime rise up against America, its people, and the very freedoms that so many have fought and died for, and so many refugees still long to get to. 

Let me tell you something, Obama cannot do what he is doing by himself, just as Ceausescu in Romania did not do everything by himself; I call this regime foreign even though many of them are American born.  What is happening today is unacceptable for me. 

America is the land of freedom and everybody wants to come here because of that.  So the question is why do our own Leaders want to give America away?  Monday is Memorial Day and while we have many problems, we have two recent situations unfolding that we need to consider.  The VA scandal is the worst because it affects the men and women we are gathering around the country to remember. 

Let me tell you about military care in communism for a moment; the military hospitals are the best in the Country of Romania.  I know because I was working for the Romanian Airport and it was under military control. I got sick and I have to have a surgery once and they saved my life.  All of the communist countries have the best food and care for their military, and the reason for that is a big difference between the American military and theirs.

The American Military swear an oath to the US Constitution and to protect the country from all enemies, both foreign and domestic.  The communist military take the oath to protect the regime and especially the tyrant in charge of it.  This is a huge difference between these two forms of government and the allegiances.  

Our veterans were not taken care of because they were supposed to die.  The head of the VA Eric Shinseki was following the orders of the regime so he can’t or won’t be fired, just as with the communist system where nobody is going to be fired as long as they remain the slave of the regime and its leader.  

The VA disaster was coupled with the ACA and the woman who was in charge; however Sibelius was not fired because she was doing what her boss told her to do.  The ACA was and is not about healthcare, it is about killing people, the American people who are standing up against the regime.  

So when you want to fundamentally change the Country from freedom to slavery all you really have to do is trash the Constitution, systematically destroy the military, and destroy the family via crumbling the building blocks such as allowing gay marriage, escalated cultural decay, increased access to abortions, and remove GOD from the national conversation.  

The second recent thing happening is the imprisonment of U.S. Marine Sgt. Andrew Tahmooressi who is being wrongfully held in a Mexican prison because according to them he is a criminal, while illegal Mexicans in this Country are called victims and Jeb Bush said they came here for love.  

Publisher’s note here; that now makes two of our military members held prisoner by foreign entities. Sgt. Tahmooressi and S/Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl who has been held by the Taliban for over 5 years.  That is a national disgrace!

Rodica had a bit more to say and did go on to list many of the issues we all agree on.  The bottom line is, she desperately wanted and needed to escape the communism in her home country, did what she had to do in order to come to this country legally, and became a US Citizen.  She understands the blood, sweat and tears, and sacrifices it took to make America great, and she believes in the Constitution and the freedoms it guarantees us all.  In short, she gets it.

And you know what, that is exactly what we are stopping to remember this Memorial Day; all the sacrifices of our men and women in uniform and their families over the years.  They did what they did so that all of us can do what we do, and so that the millions like Rodica Novak who overcame tremendous obstacles to get here legally, could find a safe haven from tyrants and prosper.  We owe it to all of those who sacrificed to stop the rising tide of domestic enemies and take back our country. Have a safe and thoughtful weekend Patriots.

God bless you all, and God bless these United States of America.
