Barack Hussein Obama has been "delivered to us" (in the words of MSNBC's Chris Matthews) as a kind of political savior who will end our national divisions, bind up our historical wounds, and infuse us with "hope" by delivering "change."

People desperate for "change" will do regrettable things. The people of Russia wanted change from the Romanov Czars. The people of Germany wanted change from the mess of the Weimar Republic -

they ended up with Hitler.

The people of Russia wanted change from the Romanov Czars -

they got Lenin and Communism.

The people of Cuba wanted change from Batista

- they got Castro.

Well.... change is what they got. "Be careful what you wish for" is often the most important lesson of human history.

Readers: This is mere speculation not fact, so do not panic yet.

"Hillary Clinton Confirmed To Supreme Court" Do you think that this is a plan in the works if Obama gets elected President? There was that little meeting with Bill and wouldn't it be fun to know where the conversation went that day. Usually there is something offered in return for support - when warring sides meet. Could this be it?

The new ballpark for the Minnesota Twins will be called the Target Field. This is right across the street from the Target Center, home to the NBA's Minnesota Timberwolves. The retailer and the Twins will be collaborating on the design of Target Plaza which will connect the $517 Million 40,000 seat Target Field to downtown Minneapolis. This will include a pedestrian bridge and public gathering space. All this Target stuff will be just a few blocks away from the Target corporation's headquarters in downtown Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Go Target, oops I meant , Go Twins.

We had the American Veterans Traveling Tribute stop in our area this summer. Many of my friends fought in the Vietnam Was. I went to college with even more veterans who were back home and getting their education on the G.I. Bill after their service tours were over. Some of my friends did not make it back and others who did were drastically altered by their experiences in Vietnam.

Because this was was a big part of my growing up years the Vietnam Wall is very special to me. The traveling memorial is a small version of the wall, but at

AVTT travels the USA in order to provide a forum for communities to come together to HONOR-RESPECT-REMEMBER all who have sacrificed their lives for our country's freedom. By doing this we also honor all Veterans and those serving today. Because they know they will never be forgotten. We must always separate the War from the Warrior and be never failing in our support for our Men and Women of the Armed Forces.
