"Though I am wounded, I am not dead. Lie me down to bleed awhile and I will rise to fight again." Old English Ballad.
So we lost round one to the Obomunists. Did it piss you off? Or make you sad? Folks, we lost ONE ROUND to these vermin, ONE! This is a WAR on liberalism, liberals, the Progressive Caucus, and their henchmen and it is a MARATHON, not a sprint. We're in this for the LONG HAUL!
Consider these examples:
1. Washington was almost BEATEN in the Northeast. He crossed the Delaware with men resolved NOT to be summer soldiers and those few in number. ("The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman." T. Paine) He crossed the Delaware on 26 Dec 1776 and SPANKED the US Marine Corps of their day, the Hessian mercenaries. THEY were highly trained troops and considered the cream of the crop in the Imperial German Army. A ragtag rabble SMOKED them in a running gun battle and took Trenton (although today, we might consider that a bad deal, Trenton sucks so bad under liberal leadership). It was 2,400 Americans, much of them militia, against 1,600 professional soldiers. The rest is history.
2. John Paul Jones is ANOTHER forgotten hero the libs gloss over. He stated, "I have not yet begun to fight," even as HIS ship was sinking under his feet! He took the British ship the Serapis by storm. Round one to the Brits, the battle to the US Navy.
3. The Alamo. We all know about the Alamo and that a few men stood off 5,000 Mexicans for days. Killed to a man, they rallied the rest of the army. Again, round one to the enemy, the war to us.
4. Wake Island. Called the Alamo of the Pacific, the US Marines crushed one landing on 8 Dec 1941 and almost repelled the second on 23 December 1941. They held for 16 days with almost nothing to fight with. We lost the first round but who won the war?
5. Pusan Perimeter. This is a little known battle in the Korean War, probably never mentioned in the liberal's revised history books but a few Marines, thrown into battle, with subsequent Marines brought in from Camp Pendleton, many of them were RIGHT out of boot camp or WW2 retreads, held back the NorK's from taking all of South Korea. They allowed MacArthur the chance to pull off Inchon. Once again, round one to the enemy, the rest to us. Or as much as Truman's communists sympathizers would let us win.
These are just a FEW examples of American GUTS in the face of the enemy.
You see, my fellow Americans, it seems that we must ALWAYS lose round one to push us to the point where we dig our heels in, roll up our sleeves, and start punching away. Why? Because we're a decent and kind people who are extremely tolerant, probably too much for our own good, but there it is. We get taken advantage of by scumbags like William Ayers, Bernadine Dorhn, Alinsky, Obama, Pelosi, Reid, etc, because we are tolerant of other's beliefs and values. We ALLOWED SDS'ers, terrorists, and subversives to nurture their hatred of America, until Soros could bring them to power. Our bust. Remember that this country was not founded on free health care. It was not founded on a guaranteed job. It was not founded on government aid. NO! It was founded on the Freedom of the Opportunity to make your own way! To CHOOSE! THAT is the basis of freedom, to win or lose by one's own decisions.
We only lose when we surrender. We only lose when we bow down. We only lose when we sacrifice the freedom that we have to the golden chains of Obomunism. The Gunny for one, refuses to be chained. Yes, the Gunny has Tricare Prime that some libturd pointed out in an obnoxious email (gee, go figure) but HE campaigns for the right of OTHER Americans to choose as they will, to be insured or not! THAT, my friends, is the AMERICAN WAY!
James Madison wrote No. 45 in the Federalist Papers:
"The powers delegated by the proposed Constitution to the federal government are few and defined. Those which are to remain in the State governments are numerous and indefinite. The former will be exercised principally on external objects, as war, peace, negotiation, and foreign commerce; with which last the power of taxation will, for the most part, be connected. The powers reserved to the several States will extend to all the objects which, in the ordinary course of affairs, concern the lives, liberties, and properties of the people, and the internal order, improvement, and prosperity of the State."
It CANNOT be more clear! This corrupt administration, what with their backroom deals, their bribery, their LIES, is in VIOLATION of not only the Constitution, but the very INTENT of the Founding Fathers. Are we to do nothing? Do liberals really EXPECT US to do NOTHING!? The Gunny says, "HELL NO!" This war is just getting interesting.
What to do now?
If your state has the recall procedure, start petitioning to remove the Dems! Remember ANYTHING with a (D) IS THE ENEMY, they can not be trusted!
Continually attack. Never let up or give them breathing room. Patton had the right of it when he told his troops to "grab the Nazis by the nose and kick em in the ass." Townhalls, open forums, emails, phone calls, protests OUTSIDE his/her local offices (get permits and be legal).
If you speak well, GET UP ON A SOAPBOX! Sometimes all another patriot needs to be inspired is to hear another patriot expound on FREEDOM! Be neat and tidy. Look sharp and KNOW YOUR SUBJECT! Be polite. Be courteous. But relentlessly pound your message home. Use note cards with ONLY a bullet statement on them to remind you. Let the Narcissist Sociopath-in-Chief use a teleprompter.
READ:
The Federalist Papers, the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, the Declaration of Independence, Common Sense, The Rights of Man, "The Conservative Mind," by Kirk, stuff on American Thinker, the Heritage Foundation, and a litany of other information. KNOWLEDGE IS POWER! Just think of that idiot John Conyers and his "good and welfare" clause babble and KNOW that defeating such an idiot would be soul satisfying.
GET involved in politics to retake our Constitutional Republic. We already number IN THE MILLIONS.
1. Support Conservatives in the GOP and demand that the GOP support them.
2. VOTE in EVERY ELECTION! These liberal maggots are spawned in small elections so crushing them early is like spraying raid on a roach nest!
3. VOLUNTEER to help the Democrat opponent. It's NEVER a for sure thing so make sure we defeat them enough so that they have no chance of cheating to win.
4. Support the GOP's efforts to defund and block implementation of Obamacare.
5. Help in ANY WAY, SHAPE, or FORM to defeat all Democrat Senators up for re-election, and to clean out the Augean stables of the democrat manure.
6. In your state, work for conservatives, and ask them to call for a Constitutional Convention to fix the limits of the Federal government in terms the libs cannot twist. Attend townhall meetings and ASK them to explain their actions.
Surrender is not an option. Remember this, the American Revolution was fought and won by 33% of the population. Are YOU a summer soldier? A sunshine patriot?
Guns,
ReplyDeleteAmen, Brother. I was in DC, (you knew I would be!) for GOE and the healthcare thing.
I felt despair on Sunday, but woke up ready to continue on. Supporting and defending baby, all the way to the end.
Rise Up, people, Rise Up!!
PS...How come no blog roll for me? :) Even on your old blog, I got no link love....
ReplyDeleteGunnyG,
ReplyDeleteYou forgot your Marine Analogy from Chest Puller. Now we can TRULY fire in any direction! I forget who said "ATTACK! ATTACK! ATTACK!"
Nee,
ReplyDeleteSend me the link and it will be there.
PS: Kudos on protesting!
georgetwin,
ReplyDeleteChesty Puller, when surrounded by Chinese troops at the Chosin. "We're surrounded? Good, now we can fire in all directions."
Bull Halsey in a message to his fleet: "ATTACK! ATTACK! ATTACK!"
Do Not Forget
ReplyDeleteBunker Hill. We lost the hill but learned, "Don't fire 'til you can see the whites of their eyes."
I'm beginning to see the whites of their eyes.
Tolerance somes leaves the impression of weakness.
This gives such scum as Ayers, Doehrn et al the idea they can prey on the weak...
While these parasites were soaking up a college education on my dime they should have paid more attention to physics and less to social studies.
They might have learned ...Paschal's 3rd Law...I think it is but being uneducated I can't bet my life on Paschal or Bacon and 3rd Law of 1st Law....
"For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction."
Until now a socialist sympathizing government has acted as a shock absorber for the reaction. But watch out...
buck,
ReplyDeleteExactly right. One of my old Gunny's cautioned us when he took over our platoon, "don't mistake my kindness for weakness!"
Gunny:
ReplyDeleteI'm sure his "kindness" would never be mistaken for weakness.
Known a few Gunnies. Known a few Chiefs.
Buck,
ReplyDeleteHe was just making sure WE knew it! haha
Gunny,
ReplyDeleteThanks for this post. It is a real boost.
I've been pushing our legislature to really get with the program on this law suit against this health care. Our legislature is working on a plan, but were planning on a vote in NOvember. I have been trying to get them to have an emergency vote. And yesterday they said they are trying.
My Democrat governor so far isn't backing the AG in this, saying "The Governor can't do anything about what the Federal Government signs into law" I "respectfully" told the secretary that the governor can be replaced easily, and he will be.
I was feeling really down, but your post put some oomph back in this old gal.Thanks again!!
Nanna,
ReplyDeleteNever fear, this fight is just getting going. We're FAR FAR FAR from being defeated.
wasn't round one the election?
ReplyDeleteThey don't care that they are way beyond the powers granted to them by the Constitution. I called and emailed Chellie "I love socialism" Pingree many, many times and reminded them of the various Constitutional laws she was breaking and that she was breaking the oath she took upon entering office.
ReplyDeleteHow does she respond? She voted for the power grab and now she and a Kalifornia congcritter are introducing a bill next week to install a "public option" into the power grab health care takeover.
All while her boyfriend, who runs a hedgefund that got bailout $ sends lots of that $ to her.
My point?
These socialists don't see the Constitution as a legitimate document. They see it as a horrible mistake.
Gunny,
ReplyDeleteIn your list of examples don't forget the big one... Pearl Harbor. I'd also add Battle of the Bulge, Guadacanal (after Savo Island occurred) and the Tet Offensive. We won but the libs and the media said we lost and convinced to many that it was true.
Wouldn't the James Madison quote be more aptly applied in the context of the Patriot Act?
ReplyDeleteAnd the number one aspect that the founding fathers would take issue with is not the division of state/federal authority but rather the existence of political parties. They were 100% against this practice as it erodes the dynamics of a representative democracy.
ReplyDeleteTuffel Hunden, RETREAT? Hell, we just got here!
