It's the Soldier

said Political power comes from the barrel of a gun. Always has. As far as foreseeable, always will. When there are more Bandits than soldiers, freedom is lost. Not all of us are in uniform, but all can take the soldier mentality to the polls. If more bandits than soldiers vote, freedom is lost.

AND IT IS THE SOLDIER, NOT THE POLITICIA

Who is out there tonight. Freezing his azz off at night; frying in the day.
Putting his life on the line so we can go to work tomorrow, play golf and go to sleep tonight on a full stomach in a warm, comfortable bed with our loved ones safe, beside us.

I salute you All!

uphold the Constitution in general, Thanks to all who have served.

Exerpt from Dennis Prager's Radio Show

[In a recent op-ed piece in the Brussels newspaper De Standaard, the Dutch, gay and self-declared humanist author, Oscar Van den Boogaard says that to him, coping with the Islamization of Europe is, "like a process of mourning." He is overwhelmed by, "a feeling of sadness. I am not a warrior," he says, "But who is? I have never learned to fight for my freedom. I was only good at enjoying it."]

Remember folks, we are always one generation away from enjoying a freedom we have become unwilling or unable to fight for. Europe is unwilling to fight for its freedoms, and is going down in flames before our eyes. Keep an eye on Europe, it's going to be Islamic in our lifetime.

Amen to that

Thanks, Chaplain, very well said indeed!

Society of Ingrates

I pray that your message reaches many hearts, but I am afraid we live in a society of ingrates.

Thank you for stopping by and leaving a comment. Since this blog is kind of new, help me out and spread the word. I welcome all honest people here.

From the best "Soldier's Poet" ever:

"For it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' "Chuck him out, the brute!"
But it's "Saviour of 'is country" when the guns begin to shoot;"

Someone, (cyne?) posted the entire poem somewhere on TH last week. Inspiring and appropriate. Thanks for adding the snippet here.

Did you hear about San Fransisco school board kicking Jr ROTC off of all of their high school campi? Truly a big divide in this country; and the Islamists would kill the culture in SF down to the roots of the grass. Unbelievable.

San Fran. Whaddaya expect?

There are some stupefying puzzlers out there in Political-land. Why do black folks vote D? But what baffles me most is the Jews. If there is any kind of cliche, its that Jews are shrewd with a buck and love their grandchildren. Yet they are vigorous supporters of the Social Security Ponzi scheme. Can you imagine trying to sell a Jew a bond that pays 1% interest and can not be bequeathed to an heir? That's what they have been buying enthusiastically for almost a century. But their ability to support policies which lead to extermination, rivals insanity. When he was in middle school i used to ask my son when i picked him up what he learned in school today. One day he said, "When you have a powerful mind, you can use it to really mess yourself up". We see it every day in the left wing.

Jewish democrats are another puzzle indeed. Dennis Prager has a lot on this subject. I think it's inertia, they were Kennedy Democrats and as the party has veered left, they've stayed on for the ride.
