Memorial Day is one of those national holidays that offer a three day weekend and the time to kick back doing whatever you, your family, your friends chooses to do.
But the reason for the last Monday in May being a holiday is often lost in the rush to make those plans.
It is hardly a day of rest or relaxation for those in uniform deployed in places where they will dodge RPG's, avoid IED'd and shoulder their own weapons while trying to win the hearts and minds of whatever place they've been sent.
They do, however, know what Memorial Day is all about.
The men and women of America's Armed Forces understand what sacrifice means. They have seen it. They know exactly why Memorial Day exists.
Memorial Day offers us the opportunity to remember those who fought and died in America's wars - past and present.
So as you pop the top on your favorite brand of beer, and grill those T-bone steaks or Ballpark hot dogs, consider taking time on your day off to reflect on those who served and didn't have the opportunity to join the rest of us this Memorial Day - 2012.
God Bless America

TWO MILLION $ BOONDOGGLE....
Our beef with the repairs of the Spring Street Hill project is that this is being done simply for the advantage of the people of that neighborhood. And it ties up TIF money for twenty years when we desperately need money in our General Fund.
Does Bob Caesar even know what is breaking down the road on Spring Street Hill?
First, it was rain damage now they think it's over weight trucks. Mr. Caesar thinks "I'd even recommend a camera on the hill to keep heavy trucks off of the hill."
And again, we will type slower for those of you who don't get it.
He must NOT travel Cherry Street Hill in July or August. Because if he did he would KNOW why the friggin' Spring Street Hill continues collapsing.
Sweet baby Jesus....
It's "unhealthy raw sewage" that continues to flourish along the road and hill side.
Bob Caesar is incapable of solving any of the problems that have crippled Spring Street Hill.
Maybe if we voters pushed for a law that would withhold their pay on bad decisions we might get something fixed right.
Councilman Bob Caesar is an "oxymoron" if he thinks these repairs will fix the problem...you just wait and see!

"JOE UNHINGED..."
When Joe Biden agreed to run as Vice President on an Obama ticket, he traded his blue collar credentials for the leash collar of the Liberal Progressive Obama master.
He has acted the role of Obama's attack dog ever since, lifting his leg upon our Constitutional laws, rights and freedoms and pursued and attacked the values of straight American men and women like a Liberal entitlement dog in heat.
The louder he barks the more you know he realizes his chances of getting sent to the Democrat "Animal Farm" of discarded useful idiots is growing faster and more furious.
They already sent him to their Obamacare veterinary doctor to remove his manhood and implant the Party neuticals of a democrat ideology that gave him the appearance of being whole and productive, but never produce anything of value when called upon to preform just like his master.

What Biden's parents "may have said" is very different from what progressives are saying today, that it's OK to be dependent on the government. Look at Obama's Julia website, for instance.
"They just don't get US," made our heads cock like a dog hearing a high pitched noise. NO surprise here...and YES, we DO just get you, and in fact, we see right through you!

WAY TO GO FACEBOOK...
Congratulations to Facebook on it's IPO today. Showing once again that "Capitalism and Ingenuity" are the engines of growth, not the Nanny State. Today Facebook completed a journey from a Dorm room experiment to a 109B + company and we congratulate them.
The people at Facebook have devised an amazing platform for the whole world to reach out to each other. It's brought family and friends together, helped bring together social movements and keep people up to date on information they never would have gotten elsewhere.
It is a testament to Capitalism and what the private sector can do, better, more efficiently and with less bureaucracy than the many states.
Again, way to go Facebook!

THUMBS UP ~ THUMBS DOWN....
Thumbs up - way up - to Matt Denison in making A Night of Hoops and Hope for Southern Indiana Tornado Relief Benefit a great big success. You worked so hard on this and we here at Freedom Of Speech applaud you Mr. Denison. It's truly ashamed Mr. Mayor let his ego get in the way and let such valueable employee get away...
---
Thumbs -way - way down - to The News and Tribune, why haven't you told the taxpayers about the NAPD wanting 17 new police cars? Just think of all the newspapers you could sell if you printed the facts and truth about our local government.
---
Thumbs way up - to Council President Diane McCartin-Benedetti for replacing $100,000 back in EDIT.
---
Thumbs way up - to Councilman Kevin Zurschmiede introducing a seperation of commingling of funds. It's a win-win for taxpayers.
---
Thumbs up - way up - to State Rep. Ed Clere and Lois Endris for stepping in for the "little people" with our property tax problem with the Auditor.

MOTHER'S DAY...
Our mothers have instilled in us a strong value of virtues of:
* patience
* compassion
* worth
* common sense, being practical and
* the virtue of prayer
Moms, thank you for taking the time to teach us and instill values, even when we thought we was right and you were wrong! You all are our inspiration to do right and to lift up and help others.
Thank you for walking this life with us and having faith in us to excel above what we only believed possible.
And for our male readers, don't forget to call your mom. It wouldn't be Mother's Day for them without at least hearing your voice.
Happy Mother's Day to all Freedom Of Speech readers and thank you for choosing to make us part of your day.
Happy Mother's Day

SOUNDS LIKE BARRY IS GETTING DESPERATE...
After saying for the past ten years of political life that marriage is defined as between a man and a woman, and quoted saying, "I don't think marriage is a civil right" is NOW flip-flopping on the issue because he is losing votes and a lot of campaign dollars.
Whether or not his position is right or wrong, it demonstrates once again that Obama has NO spine and is a weak man who won't stand by his convictions or he never had convictions and was just mouthing the words in order to fool America and get re-elected, regardless it shows once again HOW WEAK OBAMA IS!"
Obama is NOT a man of his word or conviction and will say anything to get a vote.
What's even more amusing is that this is an issue that Barry (Obama) cannot do one, single, solitary thing about.
Nothing at all...
We figure that a special word like "bigot" will appear next in the "local blogosphere" and so be it.
