I agree with almo...Ray, I didn't miss a thing. I agree with almost every part of your then and now statements. I just know that our best days are yet to come. I think that there are enough of us out there who are willing to risk all, that we can make it happen. I also am a firm believer that the manner in which a person looks at something will color that person's perception of it. Are we at the beginning of our decline, or in the midst of a momentary slide before we find our footing again and press on once more? I can't point to definitive evidence of either. I really don't need to. I willingly choose to believe the second as truth, hopefully inspiring others to do the same. If that idea infects enough people, it will solidify into reality for them, as it is for me now. Hope can be killed with a whisper, but can create a cacophony heard for a thousand years. In a nutshell, that is what I dislike about many comments here and elsewhere too. They contain little hope. <br /><br />I look at it this way: If I have my way, we will show firm courage and display the will, tenacity, and ability (through superior marksmanship) to beat back the progressive machine and send them shrieking into the darkness with their tail tucked firmly between their trembling legs. When that happens, the world gets better, and things get better for me. If I don't get it my way, the progressives make quick work of me and all others who stand their ground, I meet my maker, and things get better for me. What's there to lose? I'm also not saying that looking for the positive is easy. I AM saying that it's worth the effort. <br /><br />One other thing, I'm not attacking you, just that one piece of your argument... a very small piece indeed. I would also say that while you did many solid points (as many here have) in the rest of your comment, the things Roosevelt and Truman did, the greed, the hate, are all just something that happened. It can't be changed. I remember the old saying that if you ignore history, you're destined to repeat it, but I also think that if you study history too much, you're also destined to repeat it. I think history is useful insofar as it reminds us of the things we tried as a race that didn't work. I believe that if you want to really alter the course that the world is on, look to the future. We already know what we want, now we need to make it happen.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-51056355791468549642014-05-14T14:38:10.056-04:002014-05-14T14:38:10.056-04:00The leftist radicalization of Obama's America,...The leftist radicalization of Obama's America, including the left's illogical identification with fascistic Islam (the ultimate expression of which is the gay movement's support for anti-gay Islamists) is the ultimate victory of the Communist Soviet Union. On the one hand the Soviets mentored Muslims such as Yasser Arafat and Mohammed Abbas, both of whom are graduates of Patrick Lumumba University in Moscow, in the techniques of garnishing political, economic and emotional support for their jihad against Israel, the West and, indeed, against everyone who isn't a Muslim, by metamorphising their jihadism into a "liberation movement". On the other hand, they demoralised and undermined us by brainwashing thousands of our students in the 60's and 70's in our universities (students who, today, are our political leaders and journalists, etc.) by capitalising on anti-Viet Nam sentiment and by the creation of radical Islamic studies departments. Today we see the Soviet's success as evidenced by the coming together of these two radical movements, both of whom are interested in undermining our beliefs, and ultimately our very freedom.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-43850351896785073922014-05-14T11:35:33.038-04:002014-05-14T11:35:33.038-04:00Ray, your last comment was so true.

They back each other up and with their greed and corruption as their virtues, both have no qualms about the consequences of their actions because as you pointed out, they think they can make a deal with the devil when the devil turns on them.<br /><br />The tragedy of it all is that there is nothing new under the sun. Since the fall, man has absolutely believed he is his own god and all of the strife, devastation, wars, and cruelty humans have inflicted upon other humans is the result of the pride of the ego and the rejection of the authority of God. <br /><br />ElaineAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-40092262937973191302014-05-14T03:58:31.198-04:002014-05-14T03:58:31.198-04:00To Anonymous: I understand your dislike of my stat...To Anonymous: I understand your dislike of my statement. I don't like the reality of making it either. But I consider myself a realist. And I was referring to America's history up to and including my own lifetime. What I think you missed was my description of the cancer that plagues our country and what it will take to fix things. Like you, I am willing to fight and die for my freedom. But with half the country easy idiots for free stuff, and few of the rest willing to fight, it will come down to the III Percenters who lay their lives down on the line for everyone. My father was career Army and survived wicked winters in Germany for four years, the jungles of Panama, and Vietnam and is a hero to me. As a second generation American of Mexican ancestry, I am blessed to have been born and lived in this country at this time in history.<br /><br />But when you look at the history of so called business titans in this country and around the world, they would sell their mothers for a little more money, or prestige. Never mind the people who work for them or depend on them like the buying public. Just another form of rape and pillage. Except by legal means. Legal by political friends. Behind closed doors enabled by a duplicitous journalism industry. All smoke and mirrors. Their bargain with the devil is that if the USA falls, they believe they will be able to bargain with the devil himself because they are special, the elite. That is where their "global" economy comes in. And they are the rulers.<br /><br />Well, this country is special. Their kind not so. But as for your statement of "... but the truth is that one side or the other is going to have to give in and then back up", in this world, there in only one side that must win. And that is the side of truth and light. Freedom rings!<br /><br />But as Thomas Jefferson said ""God forbid we should ever be twenty years without such a rebellion. The people cannot be all, and always, well informed. The part which is<br />wrong will be discontented, in proportion to the importance of the facts<br />they misconceive. If they remain quiet under such misconceptions,<br />it is lethargy, the forerunner of death to the public liberty. ...<br />And what country can preserve its liberties, if its rulers are not<br />warned from time to time, that this people preserve the spirit of<br />resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as<br />to the facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost<br />in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from<br />time to time, with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is its natural manure."<br /><br />The cancer must be rooted out and destroyed. It will not be pretty. But it must be done, or the Republic will not survive and only continue it's decline.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-79091833137721500512014-05-14T00:49:20.754-04:002014-05-14T00:49:20.754-04:00It seems to me that If you (all of you/us) don'...It seems to me that If you (all of you/us) don't like what you're seeing in the world today, you need to do something, anything, about it. Daniel, you're dead on about what's happening in our nation, as has happened to many before it, but it also sounds like you are only lamenting that fact and offering no alternative. I have studied a bit about the left (as much as I can at any given time without vomiting, anyway) and it's methods of getting what it wants, and many of the methods are sound. It's the ideology that fails. Meema said that if allowed to continue, the current education system would continue to pollute our kids' minds to the point of uselessness, and she's right, but I see home-schooling in my community up 50% TODAY. That's a sign that more people are dismissing the BS than there were a few years ago. I ask you this: is home-schooling not indoctrination? Sure it's performed by someone else, but the method is the same.<br /><br />Then The Ray Esquivel said that America's best days are behind her, which I flatly reject due to one simple fact: I will not live under what is coming down the collectivist pike. There is no other option for me but to reject the collectivist mandate in all of its myriad forms, or to die trying. I know fully well what that means, and I know for a fact that I am NOT alone. There is one small euphemism I learned not long ago that I hold to be true: When Democracy becomes Tyranny, the armed citizen still gets a vote. There are very real lessons to learn from Mao, Ho Chi Minh, and the like that can be applied in different ways, to serve very different ends. I had an idea of what I wanted to convey here, and can't seem to find the right words to do it so I'll defer to a much more complete narrative here:<br />http://sipseystreetirregulars.blogspot.com/2013/04/tyrants-beware-4th-generation-warfare.html<br /><br />Understand, I'm not advocating civil conflict. There are much better ways to go for the time being, but the truth is that one side or the other is going to have to give in and then back up, and the link listed above describes something I think the collectivists have no answer for. I will not live as anything other than a free man. Ever. That frightens them, as it should.<br /><br />Now on to the rest of you. Understand also that I have chosen my perspective, and you must choose yours. Those of you with children, grandchildren: indoctrinate them YOUR way. Teach them the meaning of virtue and honor and self confidence. Teach them that it's ok to stand alone for what you know to be virtuous. Teach them what you want them to be when they're older. If there were no ability to resist collectivist dogma I would not exist, and since I do exist (despite that I was publicly educated) then there would seem to be a way to refute what the left keeps trying to pound into our heads. <br /><br />Everyone is good at something. Find what you do best and figure out how to use it to advance liberty. If the left gets loud and violent because of it punch them in the damned mouth! Most are weak little brats under all that posturing, and they will fold like paper dolls in a child's fist. There is one thing that I know about the occupy crowd: they're good at feigning anger and outrage, but happen to be useless when they face real anger and real outrage by citizens who are done taking it on the chin because the brats are more vociferous.<br /><br />It's time to find your voice folks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-45145480019684590752014-05-13T23:41:44.386-04:002014-05-13T23:41:44.386-04:00It's time we "call a spade a spade"....It's time we "call a spade a spade". "Red Guard" or whatever. They are a real enemy of America, and though most of them just want to be cool and avant–garde., they need to get slapped around and reminded that they are losers, until they prove themselves.<br />Who's going to do the slapping? It surely won't be the Government in these solid Socialist cities and States, so someone else will chose to do it. This is serious stuff and there needs to be serious consequences.<br />If the Government will not enforce the laws of the U.S., and selectively picks ones they like, to enforce, there is no rule of law. When that happens People will have no choice but to take the law into their own hands. Then there is no guarantee of justice or fairness, so anarchy usually follows. <br />Obama thinks he is able to do whatever he wants, but he is really acting to destroy the peace, with the law. There is always some sort of law, and a lawless one evolves. Neither pretty nor civilized, it becomes angry, animal-like, when it is executed by a mob or violent men.<br /><br />If you want to consider the Ukraine, read the real story of what is happening there, first: http://tiny.cc/rzytfx<br />Regards,DenisOnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-13679020133605395312014-05-13T23:21:15.089-04:002014-05-13T23:21:15.089-04:00There are no absolutes except social justice.
Yep...<i>There are no absolutes except social justice.</i><br /><br />Yep. That explains why victims are so vital to the left. They keep doing it because it works. <br /><br />The media keeps it going, and America, in general, keeps thinking, "Well, it's on the news. There must be <i>some</i> truth to it." We reason that surely these journalists might be misled or mistaken or not very bright, but they wouldn't just lie outright. <br /><br />Except they would, and they do because they are the Red Guard's agitprop. "Fact checking" was honest just long enough to be effectively corrupted, and crowd-source internet sites are being sanitized (i.e., Stalinized) or systematically trolled by regime agents to undermine the narrative of the opposition and bolster the regime's story.<br /><br />Crazy world. mushroomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07651027035577798096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-56654201230296326742014-05-13T22:32:29.004-04:002014-05-13T22:32:29.004-04:00To RobertW: As I tell people, the entity called th...To RobertW: As I tell people, the entity called the "Soviet Union" did collapse but communism did not.

We grew up in the best of time...Let's face it. We grew up in the best of times when America was at it's zenith. The baby boomer generation. However, studying history, it is possible to see how our enemies infiltrated our government institutions as spies during the wars of the twentieth century. Nothing new there. That has always happened as part of the intelligence game. What was different about this game of communism/socialism is that their ideological war continued after military conflicts ceased. The goals of the communist party were explicit as was Obama's stated goal of "fundamentally transforming America."<br /><br />People are ready to believe in bodily diseases and now it is easy to cause panic about the next H1N1 virus or Ebola strain that lurks in foods. But an idea ... poisonous? Nah! This is America. We are free. Well. As you state, we were free.<br /><br />It is difficult to blame the "boomer" generation when there was a lot of education going on, jobs being filled and production and consumption being created. Technology caused a lot of disruption for sure but my main focus falls on politicians who are supposed to be the guardians of the crown jewels. Our safety, and Constitutional freedoms. Instead of protecting their constituents, we have been sold down the river to the highest bidder ... the greedy and unscrupulous. Sure there is enough blame to go around.<br /><br />But it was the "greatest generation" who voted for the Roosevelt's and Truman's who gave banks the Fed and removed the gold standard and loosed the printing presses.<br />Combine that with the credit card and we cannot just blame the commies. We are complicit in our own downfall.<br /><br />Now the entire American infrastructure is weak and infested with rats who continue to gnaw away at the foundations of what was once great. Can it be great again? Sure. But, as with the fight against cancer, there will have to be major surgery and it will not be pretty or quick, and some ideas about the necessary treatment for survival will be seriously debated and I think at odds with some of our cherished traditions. But as with cancer, we mostly know where the cancer cells are, who the leaders are and what it would take to rid America of these killers/destroyers. I do not believe these people can be sent to re-education camps and are not worth the cost to do so. <br /><br />As for me, I have enough on my plate than to worry about the Ukraine. They should be fighting for their freedom. I haven't seen much of that yet. Just a lot of talk and fall back, retreat. I think these people have forgotten their history with Russia.
