Lisa, I am so sorry. I know someone who lost his job at 11 am on 9/11 and can tell you I think it was political, too.
But, I want you to remember “We Were Soldiers.”
The guys were accidentally dropped smack dab in the middle of a North Vietnamese Battalion HQ. There were no lines. The Colonel leading them ended up winning by attacking at sunrise, but not before fighting like he knew they could lose it all. At one point, when he realized he had been overrun, he said, “We have no lines” since the gun fire was 360. He called in a “Broken Arrow,” rallied his guys and said, “We’re gonna win this thing.”
There are no lines anymore socially and culturally either. This is our broken arrow politically. We must go all in on this vote.
Remember the boots and vote straight ticket conservative values—the Bible.
Remember the boots that took to tiny ships without really knowing what they’d meet on distant shores.
Remember the boots that ponied up to meet the best army in the world and defeated it.
Remember the boots that marched in the mud only to be covered in the blood of their countrymen...

Remember the boots who run toward the danger when even their brothers extract the politician.
Remember the boots plated in the sand of some Iranian or Somali desert because a politician gave bad advice.
Remember the 512 boots that fought in Beirut without being avenged.
Remember the boots that run to the fire when people flee the buildings.
The names of these cities, towns and places mean little on their faces, but in light of the significance of our present cold civil war that we are being handed, we must now recognize that every step we make is used against us in this battle. We are in a war to keep alive the soul of America and to remember the reasons for her existence. We now fight this battle in the workplace, on the streets, in the stores, in our schools, in our financial accounts.
There are no lines. There are only soldiers, even if they go by many names.
And men, women, we’re gonna win this thing.
I want you to vote like your life depended on it. It will; maybe not in giving the last full measure, but one way or another, you’re going to pay with all you hold dear. All of it.
Vote coservative. Vote God. Vote Biblical principles.
Vote for opportunity, not a handout
Vote for initiative, not proscription
Vote for open markets, not protectionism
Vote life, not abortion even to the point of letting an aborted baby who lives die on cold steel.
And remember your boots are still on the dirt, the hallowed ground our forebears fought to free and keep free. Your boots are in this fight.
Combat Boots
Amen CB!
Lisa, from what I’ve read here you need to go after these ‘ratstards!!
We need to get out to vote for McCain/Palin even though John wasn’t on the top of alot of lists early on in this cycle the alternative at this point is disastrous not just for all of personally it disastrous for the whole Country and I believe for the whole world.
We’ve seen what blind-devotion to a national leader has done in the past for the world during the early to mid 1900’s and we’ve all heard the saying “Never Again” and “It can’t happen here”....but it is also said “that those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it” and we humans seem to have short memories for the most part.
I’m truly sorry that you are in the position that you are in due to the BS actions of others...I’ll be one of many praying that GOD has other greater plans for you that will become apparent to you very soon.
