Anonymous said...: Congratulations,and a personal Thank you from myself,for your tireless dedication to the cause of maintaining our Free Republic.I first became aware of Sipsey St. Irreg.at a show 2yrs. ago when I stopped to talk to the P.R. rep of N.C.C.M. That day I picked up several copies of various essays laying on the table and dropped a couple bucks in the donation bucket.Later that day upon closer examination it was greatly encouraging to see others out there with some solid vertebrae .Keep up the good work and never give up.And by the way I,m sure you have made "THE"top slot on some other lists as well.; December 31, 2011 at 12:19 PM

The award is well deserved. Your readers have been generously informed this past year because of your hard work.
I particularly enjoy the belly and eye poking you serve up to the Cyclops. It adds much needed humor in an otherwise deadly serious world.
Thank you,
Charlie

If it wasn't for you, I would have never heard about it. While I do not watch the news here in california (too biased for me), I learnt about you here on the interent, mostly from other conservative bloggers with links attached.
You are both an asset beyond what you can imagine, and I was even able to convert my son from an obambi supporter to one who has his eyes widen open now, even so far as to share it with his friends!
Thank you again, and please keep it coming!; December 31, 2011 at 5:46 PM

Obummer said he will not use it but I think he will pass the authority along to his anti gun Czar Holder and all hell will break loose.; January 1, 2012 at 8:43 AM
Anonymous said...: You and David deserve way more than this. None the less I'm glad to see your sites mentioned. Perhaps that will mean closer examination by those not familiar with the issues and ramifications.

Congratulations!; January 1, 2012 at 8:53 AM

And please, both of you, watch your six.

"Progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress."

I believe that liberty is the only genuinely valuable thing that men have invented, at least in the field of government, in a thousand years. I believe that it is better to be free than to be not free, even when the former is dangerous and the latter safe. I believe that the finest qualities of man can flourish only in free air – that progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress, and of no permanent value. I believe that any man who takes the liberty of another into his keeping is bound to become a tyrant, and that any man who yields up his liberty, in however slight the measure, is bound to become a slave. -- H.L. Mencken

"The Fate of Unborn Millions. . ."

"The time is now near at hand which must probably determine, whether Americans are to be, Freemen, or Slaves; whether they are to have any property they can call their own; whether their Houses, and Farms, are to be pillaged and destroyed, and they consigned to a State of Wretchedness from which no human efforts will probably deliver them. The fate of unborn Millions will now depend, under God, on the Courage and Conduct of this army-Our cruel and unrelenting Enemy leaves us no choice but a brave resistance, or the most abject submission; that is all we can expect-We have therefore to resolve to conquer or die." -- George Washington to his troops before the Battle of Long Island.

"We will not go gently . . ."

This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can't be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won't be done. The Founders' Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.

But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.

And when we are gone, the scattered, free survivors hiding in the ruins of our once-great republic will sing of our deeds in forbidden songs, tending the flickering flame of individual liberty until it bursts forth again, as it must, generations later. We will live forever, like the Spartans at Thermopylae, in sacred memory.

-- Mike Vanderboegh, The Lessons of Mumbai:Death Cults, the "Socialism of Imbeciles" and Refusing to Submit, 1 December 2008

"A common language of resistance . . ."

"Colonial rebellions throughout the modern world have been acts of shared political imagination. Unless unhappy people develop the capacity to trust other unhappy people, protest remains a local affair easily silenced by traditional authority. Usually, however, a moment arrives when large numbers of men and women realize for the first time that they enjoy the support of strangers, ordinary people much like themselves who happen to live in distant places and whom under normal circumstances they would never meet. It is an intoxicating discovery. A common language of resistance suddenly opens to those who are most vulnerable to painful retribution the possibility of creating a new community. As the conviction of solidarity grows, parochial issues and aspirations merge imperceptibly with a compelling national agenda which only a short time before may have been the dream of only a few. For many Americans colonists this moment occurred late in the spring of 1774." -- T.H. Breen, The Marketplace of Revolution: How Consumer Politics Shaped American Independence, Oxford University Press, 2004, p.1.
