LET’S TALK ABOUT HEROES.
Several of my heroes were presidents,
a few were military people and a couple were politicians. The common denominator was that they were
all dyed-in-the-wool Americans. Today, the United States is being led down the
primrose path by a lawless administration, aided and abetted by a rubber-stamp
Congress. The American public, in
general, and in a small majority, thinks that whatever this administration
does, is alright with them. They proved
that when they elected and then re-elected a man they knew virtually nothing about…the
man I call the Prince of Darkness.
What would some of my heroes have
done, or said, if they were around today?
Teddy
Roosevelt said this, “The first requisite of a good citizen in this republic of
ours is that he shall be able and willing to pull his own weight.” With the largest amount of people ever on
some sort of government subsistence, that statement does not apply, but it
should. He also said, “The things that
will destroy America
are prosperity-at-any-price, peace-at-any-price, safety-first instead of
duty-first, the love of soft living, and the get-rich-quick theory of life.” The way Lurch, aka Kerry, has gone about
ceding little bits and big parts of our freedoms to Iran,
the United Nations and ISIS should be a wakeup
call…perhaps a call to arms for the American people, but it doesn’t appear that
it is.
Perhaps the greatest strategist to
come out of World War 2 was George S. Patton, at least when it came to tank
operations. He took the measure of the
German army and found them an equal…but the American troops were a bit more
than equal.
He
said, “Battle
is the most magnificent competition in which a human being can indulge. It
brings out all that is best; it removes all that is base. All men are afraid in
battle. The coward is the one who lets his fear overcome his sense of duty.
Duty is the essence of manhood.” Bowe
Bergdahl was a coward, a deserter, a traitor, but the Muslim-in-chief welcomed
his parents at the White House as if he were a conquering hero…which he
certainly was not. The Navy officer,
Timothy White, who fired at the terrorist in Chattanooga is a hero, but he’s being charged
with shooting a weapon on Federal property.
What sort of upside-down logic is that?
If you can offer resistance to the enemy you should. Period.
Patton also said, “We herd sheep, we drive cattle, we lead people. Lead
me, follow me, or get out of my way.”
Andrew Jackson, hero and the seventh
President of the United
States had this to say, “I weep for the
liberty of my country when I see at this early day of its successful experiment
that corruption has been imputed to many members of the House of
Representatives, and the rights of the people have been bartered for promises
of office.” Not much seems to have
changed since “Stonewall” uttered those words.
As a matter of fact, it just appears to have gotten much worse. Ambassadorships are bought by contributions
to a political campaign as opposed to a person who might actually have contributed
some knowledge and expertise to that post.
Politicians appear to have as their main interest their re-election
rather than truly representing the people that put them in office. Jackson also
said, “The planter, the farmer, the mechanic, and the laborer... form the great
body of the people of the United
States, they are the bone and sinew of the
country men who love liberty and desire nothing but equal rights and equal
laws.” Look around. Are we still a nation of equal rights and
laws? We have a Supreme Court that is
supposed to be impartial…but is it?
This is what Jackson
said about that, “All the rights secured to the citizens under the Constitution
are worth nothing, and a mere bubble, except guaranteed to them by an
independent and virtuous Judiciary.”
More recently in history, JFK said
this, “Let us not seek the Republican answer or the Democratic answer, but the
right answer. Let us not seek to fix the blame for the past. Let us accept our
own responsibility for the future.”
Wake up America,
we are being sliced and diced into neat little groupings that can be
manipulated one against the other. As
concerns freedom he said this, “The cost of freedom is always high, but
Americans have always paid it. And one path we shall never choose, and that is
the path of surrender, or submission.”
If you have to think about that, you are not living in the present
because surrender or submission is, in my opinion, a very real option if this
administration has its way. It’s a very
simple question to ask yourself…if America
does not lead the world, if America
disappears, if America
surrenders…what will the world be like?
Finally, we must consider Islam
truthfully. Certainly to some their
martyrs are heroes, but we in the Western world, we who treasure life more than
death, think otherwise. Everything I
need to know about Islam I learned on September 11, 2001.
