One of Vicki's favorite quotes is:"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.[C.S. Lewis]
âIf you will not fight for right when you can easily win without blood shed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves.â
âWinston Churchill
âLife is not a journey to the grave with the
intention of arriving safely in a pretty
and well preserved body,
but rather to skid in broadside,
thoroughly used up,
totally worn out,
and loudly proclaiming,
"WOW! What a ride!â
--Author Unknown
"We, the unappreciated,
working for the unknowing,
led by the unqualified,
have been doing the unbelievable,
so much, for so long, with so little;
we are now being asked to do the impossible,
with nothing,
forever." -- Unknown
A Fairy Tale
Once upon a time, long, long ago, there was a land of freedom, peace, and plenty, and everyone the world over wanted to go there to live, adapting themselves to the realities of their new homeland. They wanted to become peaceful and prosperous and enlightened, just like the people who created this wonderful new land.
Then, the Dark Lord, seeing the success of this new land, placed a curse upon it, so that now people from war-torn, third world sh*t holes want to go there and bring with them and maintain their violence, their ignorance, and their benighted customs, and even impose them upon their new land.
And the residents of th...Expand for more
is new land, being basically kindhearted, and having forgotten the horrible failings of the old lands their forefathers had left behind them, encouraged these new arrivals, smilingly calling this lunacy âMulticulturalism.â
Then the new land crashed and burned and fell apart.
The End -- Jack Hammer
"At what point shall we expect the approach of danger? By what means shall we fortify against it? Shall we expect some transatlantic military giant, to step the Ocean, and crush us at a blow? Never! All the armies of Europe, Asia and Africa combined, with all the treasure of the earth (our own excepted) in their military chest; with a Buonaparte for a commander, could not by force, take a drink from the Ohio, or make a track on the Blue Ridge, in a trial of a thousand years. At what point, then, is the approach of danger to be expected? I answer, if it ever reach us it must spring up amongst us. It cannot come from abroad. If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen, we must live through all time, or die by suicide." ~Abraham Lincoln, Address Before the Young Men's Lyceum of Springfield, Illinois (January 27, 1838)
"You and I have a rendezvous with destiny. We will preserve for our children this, the last best hope of man on earth, or we will sentence them to take the first step into a thousand years of darkness. If we fail, at least let our children and our children's children say of us we justified our brief moment here. We did all that could be done." - Ronald Reagan, October 27, 1964 ("The Speech")
"Let us resolve tonight that young Americans will always ... find there a city of hope in a country that is free.... And let us resolve they will say of our day and our generation, we did keep the faith with our God, that we did act worthy of ourselves, that we did protect and pass on lovingly that shining city on a hill." â Ronald Reagn, November 3, 1980.
"Mr. President," TV reporter Sam Donaldson yelled out at Reagan after a 1982 press conference, "In talking about the continuing recession tonight, you have blamed the mistakes of the past and you've blamed Congress. Does any of the blame belong to you?" Reagan responded, "Yes, because for many years I was a Democrat." - Unknown Press Article.
Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free."
--President Ronald Reagan".
