I am a proud American who believes that America has held – and still holds – a very sensitive and special place in the affairs of mankind on Planet Earth. I believe that America has been divinely blessed and protected in our two centuries plus of existence.
I believe that America has been a counter balance that has cancelled out a lot of tyranny, evil and conquest and, admittedly, we have made a lot of mistakes, but on balance we have exerted a certain Pax Americana in the international affairs of mankind.
It took a lot of old fashioned guts for the Continental Congress to stand up to the world’s mightiest military and tell them that we demanded our independence, even at the peril of going up against a far superior force on land and sea with a ragtag army of untrained citizens, many who had to supply their own firearms.
It took courage above and beyond for Abraham Lincoln to push the country into a Civil War that he knew beyond a shadow of a doubt would divide this nation for decades.
It took guts to give the order for American troops to storm the beaches of Normandy on D-Day, straight into the face of artillery and machine gunfire, wave after wave being cut to ribbons by German shore emplacements.
The history of this nation is written in the blood and courage of men who stood in the face of overwhelming odds, politicians, soldiers, statesmen and ordinary citizens who sought to do the right thing regardless of the cost or the consequences.
Well, ladies and gentlemen of the United States Congress, it seems that that particular pen has run out of ink. The courageous politicians that once championed this nation have been replaced, for the most part, by a breed of milksop, politically correct, scared of their own shadow, pushover, pathetic excuses for public servants who are supposed to be representing a constituency of citizens who have to live with the circumstances of their timid folly.
You don’t even have the courage to face down an out of control president, even when he makes a deal with the devil. Don’t you bunch of timid capons even care what kind of world you’re leaving to your children and grandchildren, not to even mention the rest of us? Are you really party partisans before you’re parents and grandparents or even human beings?
Be honest with yourselves a minute, go into the bathroom and look in the mirror and ask the person you see this question.
“Do I really believe that Iran will not use the money we’re releasing to them to finance terrorists to kill Americans, and, when, not if, but when, the Iranians develop their nuclear device, will they really use it against America and Israel?â€
You can’t hide from the truthful answer to that question forever, an answer will be required of you one day.
You have allowed Obama to tilt the Supreme Court so far to the left that they’re little more than a shameful extension of the Executive Branch.
You have talked for decades about the porous southern border but have done absolutely nothing about it.
You have allowed cities in this nation to declare themselves sanctuary cities where they protect the worst of the worst criminal aliens, American citizens paying an awful price for your silence.
You watch an impossible National Debt balloon completely out of control knowing full well that a day of reckoning is coming that will seriously curtail the quality of life for coming generations.
You allow corrupt government agencies like the IRS to run over the very people you are sworn to protect and allow the entitlement society to expand exponentially while you actually entertain the idea of raising taxes on those who still work and shoulder the burden.
You compose a third of the constitutionally mandated ruling system and you shirk your duty and allow this nation to move a little closer to the edge every day.
I wish you bunch of sold-out, jaded, burned-out hacks would just go home and let some people who still have some vision and whose consciences haven’t been seared past the point of reminding them when they’re wrong take over and start to claw this nation back on to the path of sanity,
Your ratings are in the single digits, your morals are in the gutter, your minds are on self-preservation and somewhere along the way you traded your honor for political expediency.
You’ve violated your oaths, you’ve betrayed your country you’ve feathered your nests and you’ve sat on your hands while an imperial president has rubbed your noses in the dirt time after time.
You’re no longer men, you’re puppets, you’re caricatures, jokes, a gaggle of fading prostitutes for sale to anybody who can do you a political favor.
“For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?â€
What do you think?
Pray for our troops and the peace of Jerusalem.
God Bless America

I have just one question for you. How in the name of merciful heaven did you ever pass the bar examination?
My mind is not changing. Stop embarrassing yourself by making believe that Willard was any different from Obozo or that you were really voting AGAINST Obozo by voting FOR his evil twin.
I am proud that under the very worst of circumstances, I will not let the utterly unprincipled $$$$$$ grubbing trash of the GOP-E force me to abandon conservative principle any more. Beginning with Nixon in 1968, I am ashamed to say that I voted for every POS that these greedheads nominated until they ripped it by nominating the monster Romney. All I have to be proud of is two terms of Ronaldus Maximus and my newfound ability to stick to principle and urge others to do so.
If Romney represents your "principles," by all means vote for the POS and every other POS like him. Its still a free country but not for long with your approach. It's also a free country for those of us who have decided we have had enough of US Chamber of Crony Commerce and social revolutionary policies vs. Stalinist Central and social revolutionary policies. And no matter which "wins," we lose and are lied to and farmed for fatter corporate profits. Lenin said that the "capitalists" will sell the soviets the rope with which they will be hanged. That time is now and Willard will be happy to profit from the sale.
Romney would not have made the decisions Obama has. If you can’t see that then you are truly bereft of any kind of judgment. I didn’t want Romney but any fool had 4 years to see what Obama was.
So if you are crossing the street and you suddenly see a semi coming, do not change course. Determinedly go forward because you cannot change course even to save your life.
Thanks from your country for your stubborn traitorous acts.
Not my preferred candidate. People who stayed home have harmed the country and no excuse justifies that ignorant behavior.
Woah back up. Are you telling me the person that has been lying through his teeth about civics and who I voted for and making the most pathetic I have encountered on FR in literally years, is a friggin LAWYER?
Seriously?
Yes. I changed my mind because I am an adult and I weigh the evidence before I make a decision.
I am not a temper-tantrum throwing child who will not make a reasoned judgement. I never say, my way or nothing.
That people who stayed home and harmed our country cannot see what they have done is frightening.
Ignorant is voting for a leftist, defending the leftist 3 years after the fact even after he admitted all his campaign promises were a lie and calling ones self a conservative.
You can project all you want.
YES
And it is both Hugh & Series : )
Good thing then I made the reasoned judgement that intentionally voting for a two-faced leftist is an act of treason against my country and voted for a conservative.
(Facepalm)
Sad.
Eternal facepalm........when a mere, plain-wrap facepalm will not suffice.
The arguments for living in the Matrix get stronger by the day. Thankfully Fallout 4 is 5 days away.
Yeah. You did it. Thanks.
Let’s see who will I vote for— a left of center Repulican (not my ideal) or a communist, muslim-sympathizing (or outright Muslim, who knows), baby killing, gun-grabbing America hater.
If I’m Norm I vote for someone who doesn’t have a chance and give the WH to the Commie. Wow, I feel great for screwing America, and I brag about it on FR.
No need to thank me for voting for a conservative. It was by patriotic duty. And next year I will be doing it again.
Proudly. No remorse, no regret, not a tinker’s damn given to Cancervatives that don’t approve. Just as the Founders intended.
Allow me to correct you. Mitt is not and was not left of center. He was hard left. Thats what giving 5 figures of your own cash, legislating for PP, appointing homosexualist judges, fathering gay marriage in America, creating Romneycare and forcing it on your state and destroying your states economy so thoroughly that a decade later they are still underwater from your actions.
Left of center is like the Black Knight in Holy Grail saying “It’s just a flesh wound” while lying there as a quad amputee.
Spin it all you like. Facts are facts and you arent gonna rewrite history.
Oh, stop. You and people like you did something they shouldn’t have and there is no justification.
Amen.
“Oh, stop. You and people like you did something they shouldn’t have and there is no justification.”
Mister Rodgers.
Bill Clinton: “ We must learn to make change, our friend”
Also Mister Rodgers
See the similarity?
I do.
No I won’t stop presenting facts you don’t like. People like me acted fully in line with the founders intent for voting and you don’t approve. Take it up with them.
I am PROUD of it.
