Ok, shameless blog pimping - but I thought this was a fun comparison. Lets "Remember the Alamo!"

[FlashBack]

I love the analogy!!!
Remember the Obamalo!!

Thanks for the encouragement. When I see the left implement their media plan to discredit conservatives and act like they have momentum, I get discouraged.

When I read about Obama’s private army in this bill, I get scared to death.

How about we stop trying to make comparisons to past events and just do what needs to be done?!

Yes.. there are similarities to almost any revolutionary events in the past. Why? Because this government is acting in ways that spurs people to either split from it or overthrow it.

Lets stop talking about it and DO IT! Either Secession or Armed conflict... Something has to be done.

The only people who fought in the Alamo were Patriots that loved this country so much, they fought an overwhelming majority, giving their life for our country. Obama does not qualify to be even mention with that sacred place.

“to end the Mexican revolution.”

Que es esto?

I think the author means “to end the Texan revolution” or the Texas-Mexico war or “the Texas war for Independence”.

The Mexican revolution is the name usually given to the civil war within Mexico in 1910.

[geologist]

“Texas army General Sam Houston had a different idea.

At 4:30 pm, on April 21, 1836 General Sam Houston launched a stunning broad daylight surprise attack, charging the “resting” Mexican army while shouting “Remember the Alamo !” Taken completely by surprise, the Mexican army was destroyed. In a battle that lasted 18 minutes, 700 Mexican soldiers were killed and 730 were captured - including “El Presidente” Santa Anna - who surrendered to end the Mexican revolution.”

When God is on our side ... the few can do wonders, when we are neglectful and in defiance of God (which is much of America today) We have a very real possibility that God will allow us to reap what we have sown .

Let us repent of our feeble attempts to live our life without relying on God. He is forgiving of true repentance. Come asking for forgiveness and mean it from the heart.. MO

If that was the Alamo, whats the amnesty B.S. going to be?

Health CAre was indeed Obama's Waterloo. He is a dead man walking. If it wasn't his Waterloo, he would not be wanking all over the country, strdemtoy trying to sell it through a campaign. People would be wanting the change. They do not.

Dead man walking. It was his Waterloo.

And we need to get him a cottage in Sardinia?

Had we managed to defeat the bill we would have forever been slammed as the failure of the liberal approach. This way, they have no one to blame but themselves. Of course that won’t slow down their manic drive to pin it on us, but thinking people know their plans fair because they simply don’t work. Never have, never will. And they damn sure can’t blame it on not spending enough money this time!

"Health Care Wasn't Obama's Waterloo - But was it his Alamo ?"

It could just as well be "Custer's obama's Last Stand".

We hear daily now about how the right is "inciting violence" and how we are "racists"...empty words with not on shred of proof behind them.

Now the threats are coming back, like rumors of obama's "goon squad" and Van Jones huffing and puffing. Well, it's mostly just intimidation tactics as we continue to hear rhetoric and no action...unless they have the victim outnumbered, as with the SEIU members ganging up on one (1) TEA party member last year.

These people think "group". That is all they know. You won't hear much from them unless:

(1) They're talking on TV to get attention, or;
(2) They have you vastly outnumbered.

It's what they do, it's how they do it.

We just have to borrow one of their "alinskyisms" to win any battles that ensue..."The end justifies the means".

Like the wicked witch of the east had her army of flying monkeys, obama has the same...except they don't fly. But they ARE too stupid to think for themselves, and have bought into the lie that "the man" is what is making their lives miserable.

These people are taught from infancy that what ever befalls them in life - whatever hard knocks they encounter - it was caused by the white man. Many don't know any better and do not possess the inteligence to figure out the truth...that's why we have to feed them for life.

We can all pull a "red dawn" and retreat to the mountains and live on roots and deer meat, or we can take a stand before it has a chance to turn into complete takeover and the reinstitution of slavery...in reverse.

There is no use for 20% of the population to run the other 80% when sheer numbers alone should mean we overcome. We've just got to get over the "fear", and march forward.

Folks, it ain't gonna get any better for a while, so either resolve to live in misery, or hit the streets...you choice.

I used to have a Gary Larsen cartoon (The Far Side) about the Alamo. It showed defenders fighting and falling.
Inside was a souviner salesman with t-shirts, cups and such that said ...”I Kicked Santa Anna’s butt at the Alamo!”

The price list showed t-shirt prices marked out and lowered, and lowered, and lowered.

[Peanut Gallery]

It’s only his Alamo if he is Santa Anna.

[TheClintons-STILLAnti-American]

I thought this was a fun comparison. Lets "Remember the Alamo!"

I whole heartedly agree!

Remember the Alamo!

Remember Freedom!

[HighlyOpinionated]

I still say that Republicans should assist Orly Taitz in her Lawsuit to prove Obama’s ineligibility to be in the White House, much less sign anything into law.

If Obama can be found to be ineligible, EVERYTHING he signed will be Null and Void.

It’s the fastest and easiest way to remove him from office.

[nickcarraway]

The GOP has no Sam Houston.

Being a fan of the black powder era I would go with Borodino rather than the Alamo. First it is more closely related to Waterloo. Second it better fits the circumstances.

"While Napoleon won the battle of Borodino, his victory ultimately cost him his army, as it allowed the French emperor to believe that the campaign was winnable, exhausting his forces as he pressed still further into Russia in his attempts to defeat the Russian army. "

The French would lose 66% of their army before spring. If we can take 66% of the 18 democrat seats up for election in the Senate the democrats defeat will be just as complete as Napoleon's.
