I am a graphic artist and this is the way that I sum up the Clintons.

Absolutely, I agree, American women, I think are fooled by Hillary and the MSM and all this talk about socialized health care. Not all of them, but alot are fooled by what they see in the MSM. Because Hillary is a woman, lots of American women will warm to the idea of a woman president. Hillary is absolutely the wrong woman, and will (GOD hope not) be Clinton Treason Part II. American men, both current and former military (and men of a conservative persuasion) must educate women about this prospect.....

When you have a republican President that lobbies heavily for importing 20 plus million brand new DEMOCRATS something has gone terribly wrong in Washington D.C....

The disconnect to reality is 180 degrees off top dead center..
The country is in bad sad shape..

WORSE thats only ONE of the massive problems..

What can we do?

I guess the first thing I would say is , remember,
remember we are not alone in this awareness.

It’s fortunate for most of us that we can still remember
an America as it once was, free and proud, not ashamed and cowed, distraught by the very success of everything our founders died to create. An Americaa unsullied by the guilt
of liberal apologists who seem to have no trouble equating
Constitutionally free government with dictatorial socialist
regimes, and infact preferring the latter!

The net is the difference today, our founders had to rely on broadsides and pamphlets to communicate their political ideas, we can now do so in minutes and with a readership far exceeding anything dreamed of in the past.

Just take Joanief as a case in point, not too many years ago she would have had to make this essay on a manual machine then laboriously make copies or find a printer to
run of as many as she could afford and then physically distribute them. Now her work is seen by perhaps hundreds of thousands in a matter of minutes, what Franklin and Paine wouldn’t have given for that ability eh.

I was stopped at lunch today by a man who saw the flag of
South Vietnam on my truck, he identified himself a having
been in the Navy assigned to an Army unit from 68 til 70
over there, I told him I had been there from 66 to 68 and we found out we both had been there during TET and then he asked me
“What is happening to this country? I have two sons who are entering Marine boot camp and my friends ask if I’m
not afraid for them? Well of course I am, but I reply
if not them , then who? “

I thanked him for his service and told him to be sure and be there when they graduate and about how my own father had shown up unexpectedly while my platoon was at the rifle range and the DI’s let me have an hour or two with him and how proud I was that he took the time and considerable effort (just try talking your way on to Parris Island and seeing YOUR son!) to see me.

He’s gone now but his pride in me, and my pride in his service during WW II. lives on, that’s what keeps us going
and doing what is right. In combat, researchers have found that most men don’t fight for ideology but for their own
pride within their own unit/group. I suspect a little of that is involved with those who continue to fill the ranks of our services.

I try to personally thank the young personel I run across for their service, and every time it’s they that say,
“But we’re in awe of what you guys did”,
I tell you it makes me SHINE.

As far as dealing with the continued “liberal” subversion
of our nation, I actually think we are making progress but
we must NOT be afraid of our own shadows and must CONFRONT
those elements that are responsible for it.

The power we have to get our ideas across is beyond our conception at the moment, but just look at the immigration
bill, it’s been stopped in it’s tracks at least temporarily
and mostly because like minded people have been able to communicate and get the word out to our representatives and
hold their feet to the fire.

We just have to continue and not be shy.
I’d say if someone called you an S.O.B and you DIDN’T punch him in the nose, that there WAS something wrong with you,
you had been neutered and didn’t even know it.

“enter elitist rule, stage left...”

elitist rule just didn’t enter. it insinuated itself through skillful propaganda and the line has been swallowed, hook, line and sinker by a large part of the populace.

the voters are going to give up their autonomy and wonder what happened to it as they intellectualize themselves into the gulag, attempting to emulate the “brilliant”, leftist/communist intellectuals who will “take care of them” and “save them” from the evil american system.

Excellent essay, Joanie. This statement stood out for me:

I daresay that, in America 2007, the majority in congress consider the Constitutionally-granted liberties of their constituents, the lives of their countrymen, the sovereignty of this republic, and the sanctity of the Constitution they have sworn to uphold and defend, negotiable … under the right circumstances.

Great essay. Basically, I think we’re screwed. I don’t see the Titanic turning anytime soon, not with maniacs in the pilot house.

Thanks for the ping Brucifer and Thank you joanie-f.

For what I believe is the first time in our history, the majority of our ‘leadership’ in Washington bears more allegiance to an agenda, or a cadre of special interest groups, than it does to the liberty, safety and sovereignty of our republic and its people.

Outstanding.

Applause.
