for your daily reflection there upon.
“We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.” Preamble to the Constitution.
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” Declaration of Independence
“To insist on strength is not war-mongering. It is peace-mongering.” Barry Goldwater
“The only purpose for which power can be rightfully exercised over any member of a civilized community, against his will, is to prevent harm to others. His own good, either physical or moral, is not a sufficient warrant.” John Stuart Mill, “On Liberty”, 1859
The probability that we may fail in the struggle ought not to deter us from the support of a cause we believe to be just.” Abraham Lincoln (This should be the motto of the TEA Party)
“If you are young, and not liberal, then you don’t have a heart. If you are old, and not conservative, then you don’t have a brain.” Winston Churchill

With your permission Gunny, I would like to include one more quote which is my favorite:
“Stand your ground. Don’t fire unless fired upon, but if they mean to have a war, let it begin here.”
Captain John Parker (traditional quotation on the Lexington Green)
I am sure that Captain Parker perhaps didn’t say these exact words. But his intentions were clear, these words are what he meant.
The longer I live (I’m fifty-eight now) the more respect and admiration I have for the Founding Fathers of America. It’s clear that these men were more than just leaders – the were genius’s. I makes me sick to read over and over that they were just “slave owning white guys”.
The battle for the soul of America is being fought in schools now days. The dishonest attempt to re-write history is bearing fruit for the progressive liars. My Daughter and Son used to come home with the most crazy shit in their heads after hearing their high school teacher’s lectures. I spent a lot of time telling them the truth as opposed to the propaganda they were being fed.
All of the posters here with kids surely know what I’m talking about. If we’re gonna take back our country a huge part has to start with our kids and undoing the bullshit they’re being taught in schools.
Gunny, you really are the clown prince of American hypocrites.
You include Abraham Lincoln as the author of one of your apocryphal “Great Conservative Quotes”?!
Hilarious! Had you been alive circa 1863 you would have excoriated the slaves-freeing Lincoln as a Liberal usurper (“He was really born in a log cabin in France!”) with the same rabid hatred you spew at progressive and moderate folks today.
Had you been around in 1865, your hero would have been John Wilkes Booth, and your favorite quote would have been “Sic Semper Tyrannis.”

Actually, my relatives fought for the Union, one of them right off of the boat from Ireland.
If you knew WTF you were blabbing about, the Founders themselves, including Jefferson, know that slavery was wrong and wanted it ended but had to compromise to ratify the Constitution.
You’re just upset that many of us are brainwashed libtards like you, who swallow whatever Obuttwipe puts in your mouth!
I ALSO notice that you are ABSENT on ANY POST wherein it excoriates Obama lies with facts. Kinda hard to spin facts huh libtard?
Ivan,
You’re ignorance is nothing short of astounding. You accuse Gunny of hypocrisy when your entire diatribe is based on an assumption. And as you know when you assume, you generally made an ass of yourself.
Congratulations Ivan, YOU are the idiot and hypocrite of the day! And your reward is to go stand in front of the mirror, take a good look, realize what a colossal joke you are, then come back and ask for forgiveness because:
You Are Ass of the Day!
Chip,
Ivan’s been a voil on the ass of America for a very long time. I LMMFAO at this posts.
Gunny,
Yeah, I’ve seen his/her hissy fits on occasion. It’s amazing that any liberal, when presented with facts always acts this way.
ivana is probably having a good cry right now, tears staining his/her latest copy of “Mr. Big,” in his/her mother’s basement, drinking white wine, and messing in his/her spandex.
pathetic..
I myself LOVE watching libtards melt down. I specifically mess with a few libtard relatives until they go into shutdown mode.
Fuck Ivan. The best part of him ran down his momma’s leg when he was conceived.
Hey Ivan, that’s ironic you show up! I was just thinking It’s been a long time since I’ve heard anyone complain about a festering puss filled boil on there butt and sure enough, there you are! I was going to refer to you as dog poop but I didn’t want to compliment and thereby encourage you.
Another profound hit-and-run post from “Ivan”. Hey Ivan, how about a little history lesson? Lincoln did what he HAD to do to save the Union. If saving the Union would have meant keeping slaves, Lincoln would have been fine with that. If Lincoln would have had the option of returning the slaves to Africa and Liberia, he was also in favor of that. And if it took freeing ALL the slaves it was okay with Lincoln too. The Civil War and Lincoln were much more complex than you seem to imply. And – Lincoln was NOT an abolitionist. And the only one mentioning John Wilkes Booth is YOU. Projection Ivan?
Whether you’re from the South or elsewhere I think we can all agree on something, Lincoln wasn’t a saint and he wasn’t a fool. He was just a man. But he had something your Fuhrer Omama sadly lacks – wisdom and courage. Omama’s ideo of leadership is to stick his finger in the air to see which way the wind is blowing and THEN make a decision. Leadership my ass!
Once again you’ve exposed your ignorance of American history – and with only four short paragraphs.
Love those quotes. Here’s another of my favorites, courtesy of PJ O’Rourke….”The Constitution contains a plan for representative democracy that has, over the years, been successful in luring some of our most egregious national characters out of the private sector, where they would have done no end of damage to industry and commerce, and into public office, where they can be watched”
John Stuart Mill.
My new favorite hero. This shoukld be read to all libs. But then again the liberal view is so tunnelled they would never understand it.
What part of the Second Amendment do the politicians as well as the various states NOT understand?
Oklahoma passed an open carrty law but you still have to have “permission” from the state via CCW in order to open carry.
WHY do the states believe you have to get their permission to exercise your Second Amendment rights?
Gunny,
I can’t tell you how much I appreciate your point of view on today’s issues. You print the truth, a rarity these days, not only that but because you don’t sugar coat what is actually going on.
The real kicker though is that you also encourage. It’s easy to tear down. It’s much more difficult to build up. This post is an excellent example of that important fact.
Thanks, not only for your past service to this country, but what you continue to fight for!
May the Lord bless you brother.
Thanks brother. Two things will save this nation, one, the truth, the unvarnished version and two, that we see the struggle as “One Team, One Fight.” Our enemies are IN THE OPEN after 75 years of hiding and subverting the nation, i.e., William Ayers. They cannot withstand sunlight and the truth.
“Do not participate in the unfruitful deeds of darkness, but instead even expose them; for it is disgraceful even to speak of the things which are done by them in secret.”
Ephesians 5: 11-12
Kinda sums up ovomit and the demoncrats, don’t cha kinda think?
Good words to start the day. These work too. ” We have not yet begun to fight”. or, “We’ve got’em where we want’em”.
My favorite? Chesty at the Chosin. “We’re surrounded? Good. Now we can fire in all directions!”
Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch. Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote.
Ben Franklin
So…Germany is now in the shitter…we lent them boatloads of money and now, they are going to print money. To say we are effed is beyond the pale. Why don’t others understand that what happens there is a mirror of what is to come for the US? The euroweenies didn’t want austerity and now, look. UFB. Say hello to inflation.
Its on the way, just in time for the Demerrhoids to blame the GOP!
