Something that didn't get a whole lot of attention at the time.

But which assumes greater importance as time goes by.

More lies from the left.

I've stopped trying to keep track long ago -- these people take *ALL* the funny out of the old "...because his lips are moving" joke, because THEY MAKE IT 100% TRUE.

Seriously - when was the last time any one of them said any THING that wasn't a lie?

I want my country back - I don't know where I am any more...

rustynail said...: Dennis308, you're correct. According to Wikipedia, Carson is one of two muslims serving in the U.S. Congress (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andr%C3%A9_Carson).

I wonder if this isn't part of a conscious effort to demonize the TEA parties, similar to what has been done with Sarah Palin. The result is that many people focus on the negative and miss the important message.

Mike H said...: Yes.

He is 'my' congressman 7th district.

His grandmother Julia preceded him.

She was a thief (her elections were questionable and she had murky dealings with organized crime) and a liar.

Also, she was a card carrying socialist.; May 7, 2010 at 2:51 AM

Me too, It is a shadow of what it was.....a memory if you will. Gonna' be a tough one but we must persevere. What it was and what what it is.........are really polar opposites in many way's.
See you and those like you on the field shoulder to shoulder if it comes to that.

"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.
