“Houston, the Eagle has landed.”
-- President Davis.
I see there weren’t any quotes from Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton, or Barack Hussein Obama. Gee, what a surprise.
Great movie.
I wish the movie would have used the actual quote below for this one:
“I don’t want to get any messages saying, ‘I am holding my position.’ We are not holding a Goddamned thing. Let the Germans do that. We are advancing constantly and we are not interested in holding onto anything, except the enemy’s balls. We are going to twist his balls and kick the living shit out of him all of the time. Our basic plan of operation is to advance and to keep on advancing regardless of whether we have to go over, under, or through the enemy. We are going to go through him like crap through a goose; like shit through a tin horn!”
22) “Today we did what we had to do. They counted on America to be passive. They counted wrong.”
I think the left will some day be shocked when they wake the sleeping giant of the right. One day they’ll say “That’s it” and act.
“I think the left will some day be shocked when they wake the sleeping giant of the right. “
—
Well the giant better hurry.
The kids today are being brainwashed,we weren’t.
The giant will get smaller and smaller.

Inspector Harry Callahan, San Francisco PD, 1983
Are you going to pull those pistols or whistle Dixie?
On one hand yes, that day could have been worse. On the other hand, had the Capitol been destroyed, I wonder if we would have allowed in 800k of them under Bush, and closing in on a million under obama.
And if we would have to kiss so much moslem ass.
Let’s not forget the great quote from American Leftists on 9-11 when the Twin Towers came down.
Falling to their knees and crying like hysterical little girls they cried...”Oh what did WE do to make them hate us so!”
Buzzards got to eat, same as worms.
Favorite fictional quote:
“I hope I give you the shits”
Infantryman to werewolf, prior to being eviscerated. Dog Soliders
“If you like your slaves, you can keep your slaves”
