No kidding!

The question is, just how much more of their Bravo Sierra are we willing to tolerate? When will they nail that tripwire?

You know, that Thomas Paine quote popping into my head made me go back and read “The American Crisis” again. This paragraph jumped out at me immediately:

“..I have as little superstition in me as any man living, but my secret opinion has ever been, and still is, that God Almighty will not give up a people to military destruction, or leave them unsupportedly to perish, who have so earnestly and so repeatedly sought to avoid the calamities of war, by every decent method which wisdom could invent. Neither have I so much of the infidel in me, as to suppose that He has relinquished the government of the world, and given us up to the care of devils; and as I do not, I cannot see on what grounds the king of Britain can look up to heaven for help against us: a common murderer, a highwayman, or a house-breaker, has as good a pretence as he. ...

We come from an amazing and incredible group of people.

We, as Americans ought NEVER forget that, and the sacrifices of those people who came before us...

It wasn’t GIVEN to us; it was EARNED by those folks, who stood up in spite of horrific odds, and said:

“No.”
