President Obama Wants To Build A Mote On the Border And Put Alligators In It

Sounds pretty ridiculous doesn't it? That is just how these so called "journalists" sound when asking everyone and their dog about Herman Cain's electric fence. Like Mr. Cain said, "Americans need to learn how to take a joke." It is funny that they seemed to get that President Obama's was a joke, but can't comprehend that Cain's was as well. Yes, it is nothing more than the double standard that they say doesn't exist. Another thing that makes this ridiculous is that statement, just like Obama's was made months ago. Cain's electric fence was actually in response to Obama's mote. Why is it now an issue? Could it be that Cain is moving up in the polls and they feel real threatened? Hmmm.

Note: This has brought up the border fence issue again, and has brought out silly excuse and "fact" after another. One I just heard again was the cost of the fence. They said it would cost over 8 billion dollars. I have no idea who has that contract, but I will do it for 7 billion. I know government pays ridiculous prices, but please. I could have it up and going for far less and I am just a simple country boy. All it is is an excuse, because none of them really want it. Neither do they want to do anything about illegals, and not just Mexican (although Mexican and South Americans are the bulk, because of the common border) all of them.

Anwar al-Awlaki

When I first heard that Anwar al-Awlaki was killed by the drone, along with his propagandist Samir Khan I actually cheered the event and gave President Obama praise for it. The only thing I had a problem with was the news media and the progressives reaction to it. The same people, President Obama included, that crucified George W. Bush for Gitmo, harsh interrogation techniques, and the Jose Padilla case are now praising the assassinations of two American citizens. These are the same people that want to give terrorist caught in the act rights of an American citizen, yet do not afford them to these two gentleman.
As I said, at first I personally had no problem at all with the action, but as I thought longer about it I came to change my mind. I began to see if they are allowed to cross the line of the assassination of an American citizen that happens to be a terrorist without any push back, then what line will they cross next? Will it be the guy that they think may become a terrorist? Could it lead to you or me?

Occupy Movement

I personally have no problem with the movement. If it is a viable movement it will continue, but if it is Astroturf it will eventually fizzle out. I don't agree with anything they say and have a major problem with their slogan of "we are the 99%," because they are not. They have every right to do whatever it is they choose. I actually encourage it, because I will put my beliefs against theirs any day of the week and let a thinking person make the choice and we will win out more often than not. Their voice, nor their beliefs do not frighten me. Let them make fools of themselves.
What bothers me though is the treatment of them by the news media and politicians that still accuse the TEA Party of being racist and fake. They belittled the TEA Party at every turn, even going as far as inventing their own stories. I actually heard one media host point out that one bad apple at the rally didn't make them all bad, but yet one bad apple at a TEA Party rally, which incidentally the TEA Party pushed out, painted them all with the racist brush. Just like Morgan Freeman saying just because the want Obama to be a one term president they are racist. Tell me Mr. Freeman, didn't you and the rest of the democrats make it your mission to make George W. Bush a one term president? You failed, but you still tried like hell to do it. No these people that are now proclaiming that the "occupy movement" is the greatest thing since sliced bread should remember how they treated the TEA Party. Can you say yet another double standard?

Patrick Henry

Sir, we have done everything that could be done to avert the storm which is now coming on. We have petitioned; we have remonstrated; we have supplicated; we have prostrated ourselves before the throne and have implored its interposition to arrest the tyrannical hands of the Ministry and Parliament. Our petitions have been slighted; our remonstrations has produced additional violence and insult; our supplication have been disregarded; we have been spurned, with contempt from the foot of the throne...

Reconciliation? What reconciliation? We are infected with armies and fleets sent from England. A military presence with only one purpose-to force our submission.

And what is our reply? More argument and petitions? Sir, we have been trying that for the last ten years. We have nothing but the same old argument to present. We have already done enough petitions, remonstrations, and prostrations.

There is no longer any room for hope. If we wish to be free-if we mean to preserve inviolate those inestimable privileges for which we have been so long contending...we must fight! I repeat sir, we must fight! An appeal to arms and to the God of hosts, is all we have left!

They say we are weak, but when shall we be stronger? Next week or next year? Shall we wait until there's an army stationed at guard at every door? No.

We are not weak. We are invincible in the holy cause of liberty. Three million people invincible by any force which our enemy can send against us.

There is no retreat, but submission and slavery! Our chains are forged. Their clanking may be heard on the plains of Boston! The war is inevitable-and let it come! I repeat, sir, let it come!

Gentleman may cry, peace, peace-but there is no peace. The war has already begun! The next gale that sweeps from the north, will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentleman wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!

Samuel Adams

A Grecian philosopher who was lying asleep on the grass, was aroused by the bite of a small animal. He closed his hand suddenly as he awoke and found that he had caught a small field mouse. As he was examining the little animal who dared to attack him, it unexpectantly bit him a second time, and made its escape.

Now fellow citizens, what think you was the reflection he made upon this trifling circumstance? It was this: that there is no animal, however weak and contemptible, which cannot defend its own liberty, if it will only fight for it.

For myself, I have been wont to converse with poverty. And however disagreeable a companion she may be thought to be by the affluent and luxurious, who were never acquainted with her. I can live happily with her the remainder of my days; if I can thereby contribute to the redemption of my country.

Our oppressors cannot force us into submission by reducing us to a state of starvation. We can subsist independently of all the world. The real wants and necessities of man are few.
