A truism worthy of note: Do not fear the enemy, for they can take only your life.
Fear the media far more, for they will destroy your honour.

"It is sobering to reflect that one of the best ways to get yourself a reputation as a dangerous citizen these days is to go about repeating the very phrases which our founding fathers used in the struggle for independence." – Charles A. Beard

"There is no doubt in my mind that millions of lives could have been saved if the people had not been "brainwashed" about gun ownership and they had been well armed. Hitler's thugs and goons were not very brave when confronted by a gun. Gun haters always want to forget the Warsaw Ghetto uprising, which is a perfect example of how a ragtag, half starved group of Jews took up 10 handguns and made asses out of the Nazi's." — Theodore Haas
(former prisoner of the infamous Dachau prisoner concentration camp)

“He who makes a beast of himself is rid of the pain of being a man.” Samuel Johnson

Frank Marshall Davis has written that: “under certain circumstances I am bisexual” and that he was “a voyeur and an exhibitionist” who was “occasionally mildly interested in sado-masochism”, adding: “I have often wished I had two penises to enjoy simultaneously the double – but different – sensations of oral and genital copulation.”"

And beasts such as Frank Marshall Davis are acknowledged as being "a great mentor in my life" by BHO.

So let's recap: Hussein claims a self-admitted child molester/sexual deviant (and admitted member of the CPUSA) as his "Mentor"; a racist Black Theology minister as his "Spiritual Advisor"; worked in close association for years with two unrepentant terrorists in William Ayers and his wife Elizabeth Dohrn, while pronouncing them "in the mainstream of public citizens, and finally, is engaged in multiple questionable business dealings with the likes of convicted slumlord Tony Rezco...YET there are STILL idiots out there that look at him as a "New Messiah" ?!?

"I'll tell you what war is all about; you've got to kill people, and when you've killed enough they stop fighting." -- Gen. Curtis LeMay

“The object of war is not to die for your country but to make the other bastard die for his.” -- General George S. Patton

“All right, they're on our left, they're on our right, they're in front of us, they're behind us....they can't get away this time. [USMC,when surrounded by 8 enemy divisions during the Korean War.]” -- General 'Chesty' Puller

“Victory at all costs, victory in spite of all terror, victory however long and hard the road may be; for without victory there is no survival.” -- Sir Winston Churchill

“War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.” -- John Stuart Mill

“The essence of war is violence. Moderation in war is imbecility.” -- John A. Fisher

“The world will never have lasting peace so long as men reserve for war the finest human qualities. Peace, no less than war, requires idealism and self-sacrifice and a righteous and dynamic faith.” -- John Foster Dulles

Always remember...

Next to ending nazism, slavery,fascism, and genocide; WAR never solved anything.

"[W]hereas, to preserve liberty, it is essential that the whole
body of the people always possess arms, and be taught alike,
especially when young, how to use them; nor does it follow from
this, that all promiscuously must go into actual service on
every occasion. The mind that aims at a select militia, must be
influenced by a truly anti-republican principle; and when we see
many men disposed to practice upon it, whenever they can prevail,
no wonder true republicans are for carefully guarding against it."

-- Federal Farmer (Antifederalist Letter, No.18, 25 January 177

And, as always, those that study history can be assured of what the Founders really meant in the 2ND Amendment, and it isn't what the Brady bunch would have you believe.

"Laws that forbid the carrying of arms, disarm only those
who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes. Such laws
make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants;
they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an
unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man."
Thomas Jefferson

Another interesting quote on gun controll:

"This year will go down in history. For the first time, a civilized
nation has full gun registration. Our streets will be safer, our
police more efficient, and the world will follow our lead into the
future!" --Adolf Hitler,1935

Think of these the next time you listen to the Brady crowd and other GFW's of their ilk..Which way are they trying to lead us, into secure freedom or freedom from security?

"Wherever politics tries to be redemptive, it is promising too much. Where it wishes to do the work of God, it becomes not divine, but demonic."–-Pope Benedict XVI(then Cardinal Ratzinger)

See, Barry/Biden? Even the POPE doesn't agree with you.

The old joke applies:
A Republican sees a homeless man on the street and reaches into his pocket to give him some money.

A Democrat sees a homeless man on the street and, contemplating the manÂ’s conditionÂ….. reaches into the RepublicanÂ’s pocket and gives the man some money.

I got the following unattributed quote from my ex-BiL...any married man can attest to it's wisdom.

"Whatever you give a woman, she's going to multiply. If you give her a house, she'll give you a home. If you give her groceries, she'll give you a meal. If you give her a smile, she'll give you her heart. She multiplies and enlarges what is given to her."

So - if you give her crap, you will receive more shit than any one human being can handle"

Thanks Wayne !

"A government big enough to give you everything you want, is strong enough to take everything you have." Thomas Jefferson

You just might to remember this quote the next time that ANY candidate promises you "guaranteed health care", access to totally "free" education, or any other social program that promises something to you seemingly without a direct price tag to you.

Remember, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

“Now our opponents tell you not to worry about their tax increases. They tell you they are not going to tax your family. No, they’re just going to tax ‘businesses.’ So unless you buy something from a ‘business,’ like groceries or clothes or gasoline... or unless you get a paycheck from a big or a small ‘business,’ don’t worry... it’s not going to affect you. They say they are not going to take any water out of your side of the bucket, just the ‘other’ side of the bucket! That’s their idea of tax reform.” —Fred Thompson

The biggest problem we face today is the abject apathy of people that don't even know they are "We the People" -- Ted Nugent

I heard this statement today in an interview Glenn Beck and even though the Nuge said it as a throw away line in the course of conversation, I believe that it truly encapsulates what is wrong with our country today.

Our Forefathers founded this nation on a truly revolutionary idea; that the PEOPLE were to be the power in charge of our society. That idea has served us in good stead for over two hundred years, but things seem to be falling apart in the last twenty years or so, and Mr. Nugents statement explains it all.

A country founded on the idea that power flows from the governed to the governors can only succeed and flourish if the PEOPLE remain engaged and actively participate in that governance.
Somewhere down the line "We the People" seem to have been infected with the intellectually lazy idea that we can "let the government take of of it" and still remain a free society.
That attitude inevitably leads to tyranny, and at this juncture we have progressed at least (a) quarter half of the way to that foul state.

It is somewhat discouraging to realize that someone who describes himself as "just a guitar player" is one of the most astute voices for freedom in evidence today.

This country needs to awaken from its state of somnambulism , and SOON, or we will wake up in the near future to find we have put ourselves in the bonds of servitude to the State just because we were too damned lazy to do the work and maintain the vigilism necessary to maintain our individual freedom.

The next time you hear some Leftist Moonbat howl about "U.S. Imperialism" or "North American Hegemony", think of our history and KNOW that you can ignore anything else that raving moonbat lunatic (but I repeat myself) has to say. Ronaldus Maximus iterated it best (as only he was so adept at doing):

“When World War II ended, the United States had the only undamaged industrial power in the world. Our military might was at its peak, and we alone had the ultimate weapon, the nuclear weapon, with the unquestioned ability to deliver it anywhere in the world. If we had sought world domination then, who could have opposed us? But the United States followed a different course, one unique in all the history of mankind. We used our power and wealth to rebuild the war-ravished economies of the world, including those of the nations who had been our enemies. May I say, there is absolutely no substance to charges that the United States is guilty of imperialism or attempts to impose its will on other countries, by use of force.” —Ronald Reagan

A wise and frugal government, which shall leave men free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor and bread it has earned - this is the sum of good government.

“One of the most naive notions is that politicians are trying to solve the country’s problems, just because they say so—or say so loudly or inspiringly. Politicians’ top priority is to solve their own problem, which is how to get elected and then re-elected. Barack Obama is a politician through and through, even though pretending that he is not is his special strategy to get elected.” —Thomas Sowell

“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their consciences.” — C.S. Lewis
