You remind me of Churchill, as does Newt:
“We shall go on to the end, we shall fight in France,
we shall fight on the seas and oceans,
we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our Island, whatever the cost may be,
we shall fight on the beaches,
we shall fight on the landing grounds,
we shall fight in the fields and in the streets,
we shall fight in the hills;
we shall never surrender, and even if, which I do not for a moment believe, this Island or a large part of it were subjugated and starving, then our Empire beyond the seas, armed and guarded by the British Fleet, would carry on the struggle, until, in God’s good time, the New World, with all its power and might, steps forth to the rescue and the liberation of the old.”
That famous quote from Churchill’s speech strikes a cord in my heart. And you’ve mightily lifted my spirits by complimenting my English-Irish-etc-etc stubbornness. :) Thank you.
Newt’s right. There are more of us than there are of them, at least for some small amount of time.
There are many of us with that strain of English/Scottish/Irish stubborness, and truly everyone that has adopted this country’s founding principles will NOT go quietly into the yawning socialist nightmare.
We will prevail, as Winston stated, in God’s good time, and restore our republic to the founding principles.
Heard Walter Williams this morning on a local talk radio show. He was asked what he thought was the cause of so many Americans believing things like health care, welfare, etc. was a now a right to be expected, in direct conflict with our country’s founding principles.
His answer was one of the most succinct explanations I’ve heard.
Walter Williams believes 95% of our current problems are due to a failure of morals in the American citizenery.
He said (paraphrasing) “If I pass a woman sleeping on a grate on the side of the street in the dead of winter, and I go around the corner, pull a gun, and rob someone of $200, turn around, go give the $200 dollars to the homeless woman so she can get a meal and a room, I would be thrown in jail for theft. Our Christian ideals make it incumbent upon me to help the needy, and provide charity FROM MY OWN POCKET. This is an admirable trait in an individual. Theft is not an admirable trait. When GOD gave Moses the ten commandments, I’m pretty sure he didn’t say THOU SHALT NOT STEAL UNLESS YOU CAN GET A MAJORITY VOTE IN CONGRESS. Stealing is stealing, and we shouldn’t accept the premise that it’s ok for the government to steal from one person and give to another, just as we do not accept the premise that it’s ok for an individual to steal from one person to give to another. If we simply obeyed the moral imperative that stealing is wrong, we would solve most of our problems.”
Exactly.
