You simply must read this speech given by...

...Alvie Zane at an RTC rally.

These words should be heard by every American everywhere.

Mark Steyn has something to say

His message delivery style may cause one to chuckle, but the message itself is frightening. Here's an excerpt.

The object is to reduce and eventually eliminate alternatives – to subsume everything within the Big Government monopoly. Statists prefer national one-size-fits all – and ultimately planet-wide one-size-fits-all. Borders create the nearest thing to a free market in government – as the elite well understand when they seek to avoid the burdens they impose on you. John Kerry, a Big Tax senator from a Big Tax state, preferred to register his yacht in Rhode Island to avoid half-a-million bucks in cockamamie Massachusetts “boat sales and use” tax. Howard Metzenbaum, the pro-Death Tax senator from Ohio, adjusted his legal residency just before he died from Ohio to Florida, because the former had an estate tax and the latter didn’t. This is federalism at work: States compete, and, when they get as rapacious as Massachusetts, even their own pro-tax princelings start looking for the workarounds.

Bazillionaire senators will always have workarounds – for their land, for their yachts, for their health care. You won’t.

Meanwhile, they’re relaxed about cities and states going broke - because it’s a great pretext for propelling government ever upward. When California goes bankrupt, the Golden State’s woes will be nationalized and shared with the nation at large. As with everything from mortgages to credit cards, so it goes for states: the feckless must have their pathologies rewarded and the prudent get stuck with the tab. Passing Sacramento’s buck to Washington accelerates the centralizing pull in American politics and eventually eliminates any advantage to voting with your feet. It will be as if California and New York have burst their bodices like two corpulent gin-soaked trollops and rolled over the fruited plain to rub bellies at the Mississippi. If you’re underneath, it’s not going to be fun.

I hope you will go ahead and read it all here.

Just one more reason I am opposed to unions

Ever wonder when the time will have come to push back?

Coordinated Illumination provides one excellent criteria for use in evaluating that very important question.

Imagine if...

Just imagine if a Republican president made a comment to the effect the democrats could "...come for the ride. But they gotta sit at the back of the bus."

I did a Google search for the phrase "Obama back of the bus" and I could only find it mentioned on The Beaufort Observer.

Like I said... just imagine Bush or ANY republican making such a remark!

Too good not to share!

Shooting at buildings?

Someone has found it expedient to take some late night pot-shots at both the Pentagon and the Marine Corps Museum.

Why worry about this country's future?

Why should I worry over the debt levels?
Why should I fret over the militarization of the police?
Why do I care that Liberty is being systematically eradicated?
Why is it a problem for us to abandon rule by law?
Why should I be concerned at the debasement of the US Dollar

Why?

Because one day I will have to look my granddaughter in the face and explain to her what I did (or didn't do) to prevent the destruction of the Republic by enemies foreign and domestic!

Why the elections don’t matter

I hear the steady hue and cry around me all the time: "Wait til November", as if the damage done by generations of steadily growing collectivist governments could be undone in a single referendum.

But here's why I think we're just fooling ourselves:

1. Obama minion, David Axlerod has already hinted strongly that his boss is prepared to do an end-run around an uncooperative Congress by use of his army of unelected Czars.

2. In that same interview with the LA Times, Axlerod also hints at extensive (and almost never challenged) use of Executive Orders to further the collectivist agenda.

3. The “Justice Dept” has made clear its intent to NOT reign in voter intimidation when it’s done by the left. Going to the polls could be a new experience for many people this November!

4. The strategy of relentless vote recounts in close elections has paid off handsomely. Why abandon what has clearly yielded results: Think Al Franken

5. And even if a few ostensibly conservative candidates are elected, watch how fast the putrid climate of Washington works its black magic on them. Fresh apples tossed into a barrel of already rotten fruit only results in more rotten fruit.

6. The relentless spin and smear campaign of the big media outlets will be brought to focus on any remaining holdouts against the corrupting influences of Washington. Look at the villification of Palin, or Gingrich, or anybody that dares to break out of lockstep with the collectivists.

Liberty in America has only one chance: Armed Americans demonstrating a willingness to resist the advent of tyranny. And my faith in Elmer Fudd has never been that strong!

Quote of the day

"Single acts of tyranny may be ascribed to the accidental opinion of the day; but a series of oppressions, begun at a distinguished period, and pursued unalterably through every change of ministers (administrators) too plainly proves a deliberate, systematic plan of reducing us to slavery."

Thomas Jefferson
