AMERICA, where the streets are paved with IOU's.

I will never apologize for being an American.

OUR DAY OF DELIVERANCE

November 4th, 2008 will forever be celebrated as Dependence Day. It will be commemorated as our Day of deliverance. It will be solemnized with pomp and parade, with shows, games, bells, bonfires and illuminations, from one end of this continent to the other, from this time forward. Thank you Mr. Obama for giving us our Dependence, we are forever grateful.

"The government can give you many things, and in fact it can give you everything you need to live, but only at a price, and that price is, and has always been, your Freedom."

(Said to a friend sometime in 2008)

[Freedom] is not ours by inheritance; it must be fought for and defended constantly by each generation, for it comes only once to a people.
-Ronald Reagan, Gubernatorial Inaugural Address, January 5, 1967

THE ONE-TWO PUNCH
Bush and Obama are going to screw the American people over like a tag team at a wrestling match; it's like a one-two punch. You know what I'm talking about, a left lead followed by a right cross. Except in this instance, it's a right winger followed by a left winger; the rights that one of them doesn't take away from you, the other one surly will. That's how it's like a tag team; they take turns until all of our rights are gone.

There's also a fake play involved. Bush fakes to the right, giving himself cover, so as the right doesn't complain when he takes certain rights away. Then Obama is introduced as an extreme left President, but that is only perception, it is only so that the left goes along with anything that he does, namely, taking rights away. That is how they do it, from the right, then from the left, then the right again. Before you know it, our liberties have been beaten to death; freedom is dead. Eventually we will end up with a tyrannical one world government, which is their final goal.

I hate to be so gloomy, but this is the way I see it.

We must make our election between economy and liberty, or profusion and servitude.
To: Samuel Kerchival.
-Thomas Jefferson (1816)

A rigid economy of the public contributions, and absolute interdiction of all useless expenses, will go far towards keeping the government honest and unoppressive.
To: Marquis Lafayette.
-Thomas Jefferson (1823)

Property is the fruit of labor; property is desirable; is a positive good in the world. That some should be rich shows that others may become rich, and hence is just encouragement to industry and enterprise. Let not him who is houseless pull down the house of another; but let him labor diligently and build one for himself, thus by example assuring that his own shall be safe from violence when built.

INCANDESCENT LIGHT BULB POLICE
The incandescent light bulb police will be the first of Obama's green-collar jobs. They will be a subgroup of his larger Green Gestapo. They will cruise around at night in their electric cars pointing an incandescent light detector into the windows of houses with suspicious looking light emissions. Violators will be arrested, and sent to an environmental retraining camp for up to one year. There will no longer be any tolerance for people bent on destroying the Earth. Obama '08 - Yes we can!!!

Liberals are for sucking the brains out of an almost born baby's head, but they are against pouring some water on the head of a terrorist. Does that make sense?

Of all the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity, Religion and morality are indispensable supports. In vain would that man claim the tribute of Patriotism who should labor to subvert these great Pillars of human happiness — these firmest props of the duties of men and citizens.
-George Washington

If we want to have small government and the freedom that comes with small government, then we need to have individual responsibility. Hence the importance of having functional intact families; functional families produce functional citizens.
Those whose policies destroy the family and the churches are not, and can never be considered Patriots; they are in fact traitors and should be treated as such.

A government big enough to give you everything you want, is strong enough to take everything you have.
-Gerald Ford
Presidential address to a joint session of Congress (12 August 1974)

A man without a firearm,
is like a nation without an army.
Without one, neither shall retain their Liberty.

President Bush's greatest legacy will be his appointments of Alito and Roberts to the Supreme Court; they have, and will continue to fight for our freedom. They have already made the difference in whether or not the Right to keep and bear arms should be recognized as a right of the people, or as a right of the states, it was of course recognized as a right of the people.

Any politician who does not trust me with firearms, is a politician that I do not trust, and therefore they will not receive my vote, it's just that simple.

The world is full of wonders, riches, powers, puzzles. What it holds can make us horrified, sorrowful, confused, joyful. But nothing in it can make us bored. Boredom is the result of some pinch in ourselves, not of some lack in the world.
—Toni Flores

We have to assume that everything we do is for the better, because we don't know what would have happened otherwise.
