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

Common Core Civics...I love it.
Not sure what else to call it, kidding aside.
How one can say, argue relentlessly in fact, that if you vote for X it gets counted for Y and have anything but common Core as the cause. Certainly people that removed from the very basics of the political voting process should have their vote stripped legally as they are unsafe with casting it.
But not a day passes that we do not here that if we vote for X conservative over the Liberal Republican, it’s a vote for whatever Democrat they run against.
You think after this many elections there would be enough freepers sick of that stupidity that the speaker of it would get told to STFU by the general readership.
“one should never choose the lesser of two evils.”
You got that much right.
“Vote for conservatives and have your vote count for Obama!”
Your vote for Gary Johnson was NOT a vote for a “conservative”. He’s a pro-abort, anti-death penalty, and anti-defense, so you did nothing different than anybody else you castigate for voting for “a lesser evil” - other than the fact you voted for someone who didn’t have a snow-ball’s chance in hell to win against Obama.
Not sure why you insist on telling people I voted for anyone when you have no Idea who I voted for. I voted for a conservative. Thats all you or anyone need know. It wasnt Anyone with a DNC attachment. Nor a lesser evil.
You have been doing that for three days. If you think lying to Freepers helps you get more people on the lesser evil train, Maybe someone will assist you.
OK, Norm. Whatever makes you feel good. Keep deluding yourself.
You yourself gave me a list of candidates from 2012 Presidential election, which included candidates from the Green Party and the Socialist Party. By using Romney as a measuring stick for your idea of the “anti-conservative”, there wasn’t one candidate on the ballot who was a conservative.
So either voted for a write-in candidate or you chose “a lesser than evil candidate” Gary Johnson.
You really shouldn’t throw stones against glass houses, Norm, because somebody just saw you do it.
“So either voted for a write-in candidate “
And it only took you three days to get that simple fact of civics figured out.
BTW, I will remind you that I am under ZERO/none/NADA requirement to vote to WIN. I am called on by the laws of this country and the intent of the founders to vote for the person I believe best suited to lead America.
If you personally disapprove, or id ANT of you lesser evil idiots disapprove, I personally do not give the slightest damn.
“I” did what was right. YOU tried electing Barry “White”.
BTW, I gave you the list of the California ballot. I gave you that list because you lied and said you had no other choice than to vote for mitt. The list proved you did have a choice. You CHOSE to ignore two better suited candidates to WIN.
And then lost. You failed twice.
The end looks like a modern list of grievances from the Declaration of Independence.
Well done Charlie!
So let me guess - you voted for yourself? :-)
Is that why you’re so ashamed you can’t tell us who you voted for?
Don’t be ashamed, Norm. Just tell the truth.
Seriously, dude, your powers of reasoning are deeply flawed.
First lied and said I voted for Obama.
Then you lied and said I didn’t vote.
Then you lied and said I voted for Obama again.
Then you lied and said I voted for Gary Johnson.
Tell me. Since anyone that cares can view your post history over the past three days and see you doing the above, tell me why you feel I owe a proven liar the knowledge of who I voted for?
PS: since I am more conservative than Romney, I too would be an acceptable vote. Even...A LESSER EVIL!
But you just will never know will you.
Point out the flaws.
Wow. Two better suited candidates???!!! Boy, that is a WHOPPER, Norm.
Here’s the list you gave me:
Mitt Romney/Paul Ryan, Republican
Barack Obama/Joseph Biden, Democratic
Gary Johnson/James P. Gray, Libertarian
Jill Stein/Cheri Honkala, Green
Tom Hoefling/Robert Ornelas, Independent
Roseanne Barr/Cindy Sheehan, Peace and Freedom
So MANY choices. They all suck! Who was I supposed to vote for, Roseanne???!!!
I voted for the most conservative candidate on the ballot. You can’t with a straight face say that wasn’t true. And by golly, he actually was the ONLY one who had a chance to beat Obama.
You have any more words of wisdom, oh King Solomon???
Most of them suck. One of them is just fine. You should have voted for him. You might still have lost but you wouldn’t have willfully voted for a guy that profits from incinerating dead babies from planned parenthood and trying to justify your bad choice 3 years later.
But you did. And you lost. And the GOP went hard left. And you helped.
I have before and you love goading people with the fact that
you helped put BO back in the WH.
That in and of itself qualifies you for psych meds. Step to the front of the line.
“I will remind you that I am under ZERO/none/NADA requirement to vote to WIN.”
Well, you sure accomplished your goal, didn’t you?
Congratulations for Obama. That’s fantastic! He’s all YOURS!
Do you really think you accomplished anything by voting for yourself?
Do you think the Establishment cares?
You didn’t last time. You can’t this time.
But it’s funny to watch you and the other excusemaker making excuses on this particular thread considering you voted for everything Charlie Daniels is condemning Congress for doing.
So are you forgetting you said I voted for Gary Johnson?
you really seem confused as to who you believe I voted for.
“Point out the flaws.”
There as evident as the pimple on your nose, but you’re blind.
