Quote of the Day

"Here's my strategy on the Cold War: We win, they lose". -- Ronald Reagan

So simple, so elegant, so self-evident. President Reagan understood what was at the core of the dispute of the Cold War Era; Individual liberty and basic Human Freedom vs. control by the State in all aspects of life.

Well, the Cold War is over, and WE WON...the problem now is that we are having the same arguments internally, and the Statists are winning.

The "Progressive" movement and the PC crowd have combined forces to subvert every founding principle that this Country was founded upon and are leading us as surely to a state of Despotism as if the old Soviet Union had overcome us in the Cold War - indeed, they are more successful at it by being members of our society and not a foreign body trying to subvert us from outside. It's always easier to fight the outsider, but when the enemy is "one of our own" they become orders of magnitude more difficult to oppose.

But oppose them we must, and with every fiber of our being, lest we become who we opposed for so long and with so much expenditure of blood and treasure.

My recommended first step for those that believe that an overwhelming State is not about to be thrust upon is to read the "Cap & Trade" legislation recently passed through Congress without any of the Members having read it. I mean REALLY READ some of the provisions in that monstrosity. Pay particular attention to what is contained on page 16 -- the so-called "protection of private insurance act" anyone with more than a 6th grade education HAS to realize that that rider does EXACTLY the opposite of what it's title would have you believe. It destroys private insurance through attrition with the end result of every Citizen becoming beholden to the Federal Government for their health care, WITH NO RECOURSE to escape (UNLESS you happen to be a Senator or Congressman---wonder why the program is good enough for the Electorate, but not for the Political class ?!?) And that is the mere tip of the iceberg...

I regret to say that the time is fast approaching when it WILL become necessary to take up arms against our own Government if we wish to retain those rights and freedoms that the Founders envisioned as our Natural Due. It is NOT subversion to make that statement; the Founders themselves advocated that "when a government becomes oppressive to the People, the People not only have the Right to oppose it, but the DUTY to do so.

To all of you have served in the Military or as a Peace Officer:
REMEMBER YOUR OATH, and ACT accordingly.
