Another country heard from . . .

Folks, today is my 60th birthday and I received the following comment on a post about my health from the other day:

Go, big C, go! Got that champagne ready to roll as soon as I see the news that you've kicked the bucket, Mike! You're going to love non-existence!

I must tell you that such "love notes" tickle the heck out of me and always make me laugh. When you're so impotent and vacuous of ideas that you're reduced to this, I mean, can there be any doubt that we are winning the battle of principle where it really matters?

Let the punk-ass idiots spew their hate. We know it doesn't mean squat to you what they say. "Ain't no thing" to us either.
Hope you're able to enjoy your day.; July 23, 2012 at 2:10 PM

Oh, and Anony was supposed to deliver a singing telegram to your door but he called me to say that he was spent from making love to his Mommy so he was just going to crawl into the kennel and have a nap.; July 23, 2012 at 4:36 PM
Gordy said...: Mr. Anonymous (and why are you hiding?),

You evidently don't know that you will stand before the Righteous Judge, Jesus Christ, on Judgment Day and give account for every IDLE WORD. Jesus Himself said so (see Matthew 12:34-37), and your unbelief won't change it.

On the authority of God's Word and His calling on this ministry, I call you to repent in the Name of Jesus. You won't be able to say 'Nobody told me,' because you have now been told.

You might be 'Anonymous' here, but God knows who -- and where -- you are. All the time. Enjoy.; July 23, 2012 at 5:30 PM

Grantmeliberty said...: Our loss and heaven's gain if you leave us now Mike. For the anon fool, the outer darkness and weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth await him. Absent from the body and present with the Lord, we always have a bright future while they are losers here and there both.
I pray blessings and healing for you Mike. Breathe deeply as often as you can, it oxygenates your blood, alkalynizes it and slows the cancer cells. Check out drday.com she was a med school professor who beat cancer naturally.; July 23, 2012 at 8:33 PM

If the anon ill-wisher had any idea what cancer is, and how wishing that kind of energy will only be reflected back upon them . . . then he'd have many second thoughts.

Enjoy the day, and every day you can,

I call you to repent in the Name of Jesus. You won't be able to say 'Nobody told me,' because you have now been told, twice.; July 24, 2012 at 6:14 AM
rdf67 said...: Happy Birthday, Mr. Vanderboegh. May you enjoy many more before you join the Master.

When Holder talked about cowards, certainly he was referring to this anonymous "man". I suppose he jokes about the Sermon on the Mount like POTUS.; July 24, 2012 at 6:18 AM
Sgt Survival said...: Happy 60th Mike! Don't let the bastards get you down. Unless of course if you're dropping to the prone position to return fire. Lol...; July 24, 2012 at 9:15 AM
Anonymous said...: Happy 60th Mike. And may you have many more. Hope you are feeling better. And thanks to the person who helped with the IP thing. I would if I could, but like you, I'm on a fixed retirement..and you know how far that goes. Anyway, have a great birthday..regardless of the clueless assholes out there.; July 24, 2012 at 9:40 AM

"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.

"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.
