This 4th, Let us not forget

"Liberty must at all hazards be supported. We have a right to it, derived from our Maker. But if we had not, our fathers have earned and bought it for us, at the expense of their ease, their estates, their pleasure, and their blood."

--John Adams, A Dissertation on the Canon and Feudal Law, 1765


Let us not forget those who sacrificed so much for our freedom, and those who sacrifice much for us today to keep us free and safe from tyranny from all parts of the globe this 4th of July.

The Day of our Independence seems to have become just another paid day off, for beer drinking and parties instead of celebrating the creation of the richest most powerful Nation under God the earth has ever seen.

Remember the men and women who have shed their blood and died for our very lives. We have our basic freedoms because of those souls who stood at the gate and on the wall day and night while we sleep in peace. They made it so.


Thank the troops when you see them, for it is by their blood that you are free.

The Birth Certificate

Article II - The Executive Branch

Section 1 - The President


"No person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty-five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States."

Some body please tell me what part of this from the Constitution is not clear.

Where is the Birth certificate, with all of the tech. that is available to us today why can't Bam-Bam produce it. I just recently had to go through all of the family paperwork to find certificates for my son to get his drivers license ( a relatively benign thing), but the leader of the free world can't come up with his. He just keeps avoiding the subject.

Is there some thing to hide hear? You tell me.

If the man is legal he should be happy to prove it, should he not.

I know this may seem petty to many, I do not. Every time the Constitution is ignored in this way we lose a bit more of who we are and what we where.

This is just a small part of the slow and deliberate dismantling of our Constitution and the country I protected and love.

Show me the certificate.

Guns keep us free

Amendment 2 - Right to Bear Arms. Ratified 12/15/1791. Note

"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."


Shall not be infringed, I think that is my favorite part of the 2ND. Amendment. The founding fathers knew that unless they did something to keep Gov. in check, we would quickly end up as we were in England. That just did not set well with them.


The Right to bare arms guaranties all the other rights. The right to free speech. the right to privacy. The right to your own faith. The right to protect your self, etc.


If we give up this fundamental right, we give them all up. Remember, it was armed citizens that made us free and it will be armed citizens that keep us free.

John Adams

"If men through fear, fraud or mistake, should in terms renounce and give up any essential natural right, the eternal law of reason and the great end of society, would absolutely vacate such renunciation; the right to freedom being the gift of God Almighty, it is not in the power of Man to alienate this gift, and voluntarily become a slave."

--John Adams, Rights of the Colonists, 1772


I believe John Adams was on to something here. When we give up our faith in God and put it in the hands of man, we get what we have today in our own country right know. When the Constitution was written our forefathers knew this would be the result of looking to Government and not God.

"We The People", not "we under Government control hold the people." Words have power and the power was given to the People, not the Government. As we have seen over the last 100 years or so the more we ask the Government to do for us the more we lose power in our own lives.

If we do not stand up and say.No (correct that), yell that we have had enough, this snow balling power grab will go on until one day we wake up and are being asked for our papers as we go to the store, out of state to other states, arrested for speaking out against the President and Government.

Look at what is happening over in Europe as they watch us become more and more liberal they are becoming more and more conservative. They know if we continue down this path they will no longer be able to call on us to protect them from attacks of all sorts. Our military will fall apart, our economy will fall apart, and as things stand today China will have ownership of us in total.

Find God again America, and find that "Shining City on the Hill" again. We can be great again.

There he goes

See earlier post (Full Circle)

Here is our fearless leader bowing for royalty. Each and every time he does something like this he is lowering our place in the world at large.

The rest of the world should be bowing to us, and our fallen troops who have time and time again answered the call to arms to free the world's collective butts from one thing or another, and they do it (the troops) without complaint. It makes me sick to see Bam-Bam do these things, I fear however that this is only the beginning of his idiocy. Pray for one term only.

The Post Turtle

I found this on Tammy Bruce's blog at Little Green Footballs.

http://tammybruce.com/


Obama, the Post Turtle

This has been around for quite some time, but as the Urkel Administration gets stranger and stranger, I thought it worth re-sharing :)

post turtle.jpg

While suturing a cut on the hand of a 75 year old rancher, who's hand was caught in the gate while working cattle, the doctor struck up a conversation with the old man. Eventually the topic got around to Obama and his bid to be our president.

The old rancher said, 'Well, ya know, Obama is a 'Post Turtle''.

Not being familiar with the term, the doctor asked him what a 'post turtle' was.

The old rancher said, 'When you're driving down a country road and you come across a fence post with a turtle balanced on top, that's a 'post turtle'.

The old rancher saw the puzzled look on the doctor's face so he continued to explain.

“You know he didn't get up there by himself, he doesn't belong up there, and he doesn't know what to do while he's up there, and you just wonder what kind of dumb ass put him up there to begin with.”

How dare he.

This week some where over in the middle East Obama dared to compare the killing of millions of Jews in W.W.II to the situation of the Palestinians.

I'm sorry, but I do believe the Israelites were there first to be in that land and have not tried to massacre any of the Palestinians yet. Israel does not have gas chambers for the sole purpose of killing men, women, and children. They do not target civilians. they only defend themselves when they are attacked or as in the case of Iran take the necessary steps to stop them from building Nukes.

It is nothing more than you or I would do to protect our own families and neighbourhoods if gangs started moving in and harassing our children and our seniors. I would be the first on the street helping to put them out.

So Obama made clear we are No longer your Friend Israel, as far as allies go. I just hope that by the time he is gone and he will be,( weather it is four years or eight he will be gone) that Israel will still be standing strong. And of course because of my faith in God, I know Israel will be strong no matter what. Semper Fi

"I would hope that a wise Latina woman with the richness of her experiences would more often than not reach a better conclusion than a white male.

Yes, you read that right,Judge Sonia Sotomayor said those very words at a College to the student body to cheers and applause not to long ago.

If I as a white male who loves hunting, God, and my children said that. I would be called all manner of things, not the least of which would be racist.

The Media does not seem to see the obvious double standard of this behavior of themselves and the left. Remember the trashing Clarence Thomas went through to get to the Supreme Court, and none of these so called minority rights groups stepped forward to help or defend him. Let's not forget the women the were truly victimized be Billy. One of those so called ladies of the N.O.W. gang actually suggested that every women in the country should be glad to drop to their knees and willingly service that PIG.

It would be nice on the other hand if the Republicans in office and out would get up off their collective butts and start pointing this FACTS out. Rush,Laura, Sean, and the other conservative talk show hosts do a fine job on the radio and T.V. shouting from the mountain top, yes. But until we start joining in and letting Congress know that we are angry and were not going to take it any more than this type of thing and worse will just continue.

I am equally torqued with both parties. The difference is the Dem's. don't hide what they really are. It's time to start showing our Reagan. Semper Fi.

Count your blessings

From time to time we need to take a break from the daily politics.

I am an off the road tire tech. for one of the largest tire companies in the world here in Denver. Today would have been my day off. We were too busy yesterday to get all the road services done, so I went in today to take care of one of those calls.

On my way down to the call, I began to realize how lucky I am to have a good job, that I do not have to worry about losing. We just lost a guy from work, due to in my opinion to his inability to control his drinking, and overall lack of responsibility.

When I see someone like this doing to themselves these types of things, I really wonder what goes on in their minds. On the streets here, there are hundreds of homeless, some of which have no excuse for being such.

I got divorced 3 years ago, got custody of my children, lost our house, live in a hotel, and still have my job. I keep my kids fed, clothed, in school where they are doing well; in fact, one is starting college level classes next year. I do not tell you about my personal life to get you to pity me. I do not want it. I tell you this to show you that we all have the ability to make right and wrong choices. I refuse aid from any gov. agency, have raised 6 children, one of whom is at the Naval Acadamy. One is in Cal. getting ready to hike across the U.S. with his uncle, another is going to be videoing the hike and putting it on the web. Then there is yet another who is starting fulltime college next year. The two youngest are at home; one starting college classes in his senior year and the youngest of all looking forward to joining the Marines in three years after graduation.

No don't feel sorry for me I made the right choices in my life and am blessed for the things I have, the fruits that have been produced in my children, and the life I still have ahead of me.

We can fight for our freedoms, fight against all the things we see or perceive are wrong in Washington as much as we wish, let's not forget what we have right in front of us and in our lives. Semper Fi.

Wisdom from our founders

the germ of dissolution of our federal government . . .
“The germ of dissolution of our federal government is in the constitution of the federal judiciary; an irresponsible body, (for impeachment is scarcely a scare-crow), working like gravity by night and by day, gaining a little today and a little tomorrow, and advancing its noiseless step like a thief, over the field of jurisdiction, until all shall be usurped from the States, and the government of all be consolidated into one.” –Thomas Jefferson–Thomas Jefferson, letter to Charles Hammond, August 18, 1821

I really do not think I need to add anything to this, except that we are witnessing this very thing today. Semper Fi.

Well here's an example of what I fear we have to look forward to.

Please refer to the included link. http://www.humanevents.com/article.php?id=32035

While looking through my daily emails, I came across this story from Human Events. As I mentioned in a earlier post, I feared that our Gov. for the sake of Political points would start to take aim at our troops.

Well here we go. Army Ranger 1st Lieutenant Michael Behenna is one of our most recent casualties to a corrupt Judicial and Political system. Instead of going to Prison for doing his job, we should be giving this Hero a parade, but no we are sending him to rot in a cell.

This concerns me most because my daughter who has just finished her 3rd year in the Naval Academy, and hopes to become a Marine Officer will be serving under these vary same political opportunist that have, if nothing else destroyed Lt. Bhenna's carrier.

How can our guys over in the War zones ever expect to do their job of defending Iraqis or Afghans, if the first thing they have to worry about is " am I going to be arrested for protecting myself when I get home?" I now think I have some small understanding of how my mother felt watching the treatment of our Vets. coming home from Vietnam. It disgusts me to see where my country, that I served is going.

I prey for Michael, that he will get some form of appeal and the evidence that was not aloud in trial will get his conviction overturned.

That's it for tonight. Semper Fi.

Full circle.

When we declared our independence, we told the King of England we would bow no more. No more unfair taxes, no more mandated religion, no more of his soldiers in our streets.

Fast forward to present day. President Obama is turning back the clock at breakneck speed, he is bowing to terrorist dictators (both politically and physically with that shameful display in Saudi Arabia), Raising taxes on us by going after the CEO's of large companies. Who do you think pays thoughs taxes, it's us the tax gets added into the cost of the products we need on a day to day basis.

They (the Gov./ Obama) are attacking the religious and our troops almost daily. How dare they suggest that our troops coming home from the War Zone are subjects of interest as possible Terrorist threats. They need to keep their eye on the right threats and that is the border to the South. With the Mexico Gov. having the difficulty it is having with their illegal drug cartels and the war which is breaking out along that border, it would be better to give the troops jobs on the border rather than treat them like threats.

Whats next? Obama is taking control of banks, auto manufacturers, reimplemented embryonic stem cell research (murder). It's up to your imagination as to where he might go next.

We must stop this before it gets to big, if it hasn't already. I did not serve this great country in the marines to see it fall to a would be dictator. Wake up. Semper Fi.

Hello America.

Blogging is something new to me, as is a lot of this computer stuff. You and my children would refer to me as a noob. I felt that I needed an outlet other than the guys at work who don't really care for politics, so here I am. If I ramble a bit to much let me know, I am always willing to learn.

That said, I am a retired Marine who served under the very capable leadership of Ronald Reagan, and the 1st. George Bush. My experience serving this great country under these two different Presidents proved to me the value of peace through strength. If we allow ourselves to be weakened by the politicians and do not speak out against these would be dictators, then we deserve every bit of the coming failure in the middle east and of our economy. I do not pretend to have all the answer, but I do know that History does repeat itself. Government time and time again has said they have the answer and all they do is make it worse. Don't take my word for it, just pick any subject that Gov. has their hands in and look at yourself.

I realize this is short, but I hope that as time gos on I will become more proficient at this. Please be my guest and leave your comments, about the subject or how I might improve the look and readability of my Blog. Semper FI.
