Yes, Gianina, they may have already burnt your old history book. I would love to find an old American History college text if at all possible - seriously!

"The truth is incontrovertible; malice may attack it, ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is." Winston Churchill

As a filipina, I learned the American history at the International school. Let me tell you that I fell in love with the American history. I received an A+ in that class, and an A++ for loving what America stands for. I am a proud USA citizen and it saddens me how they are changing HISTORY. Wish I kept my History book.

My grandfather served in WWII also and he and I have had some pretty interesting conversations. He would be in agreement with your grandfathers I think. He is worried for us 'youngins" and wishes he would be around longer to maybe try and change some things.

Thanks Brenda.



I had two grandfathers that served during WWII and I think they'd be appalled if they lived long enough to see what state this country was in today. They believed in God, country, and duty but never believed that govt should overrule the people.

Your grandfather was a wise man, Dawn =)

That was awesome. It was funny to watch Joy Behar get put in her place and you know she did b/c she had her hand on her hip. She's ticked when she does that!



Here's my quote for the day:



Politics isn't hard, it's the dang politicians that make it difficult.



My grandfather, a WWII veteran said this before he died.

I'm a fan of Michelle Malkin too. She is awesome - intelligent and she handled the ladies on the View very well!

If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it." - Ronald Reagan



I'm a fan on Michelle Malkin's page and this was posted. I thought I'd share it here b/c it's the truth.

"Still, if you will not fight for the right when you can easily win without bloodshed; if you will not fight when your victory will be sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than live as slaves." Winston Churchill

Hmm...maybe I need to go reread Atlas Shrugged again. =)

"The one pervading evil of democracy is the tyranny of the majority, or
rather of that party, not always the majority, that succeeds, by force or
fraud, in carrying elections."

~Lord Acton, English historian, 1907

" 'Necessity' is the plea for every infringement of human liberty; it is the
argument of tyrants; it is the creed of slaves."

"If you love wealth better than liberty, the tranquillity of servitude better
than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not
your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May
your chains set lightly upon you and may posterity forget that ye were our
countrymen."
~Samuel Adams, 1776

"The peaceable part of mankind will be continually overrun by the vile and
abandoned while they neglect the means of self-defense. The supposed quietude
of a good man allures the ruffian; while on the other hand, arms like laws
discourage and keep the invader and the plunderer in awe, and preserve order
in the world, as well as property.

The balance of power is the scale of peace. The same balance would be
preserved were all the world destitute of arms, for all would be alike; but
since some will not, others dare not lay them aside... Horrid mischief would
ensue were one half the world deprived of the use of them;... the weak will
become a prey to the strong."
~Thomas Paine, "Thoughts on Defensive War," 1775

A free America... means just this: individual freedom for all, rich or poor, or else this system of government we call democracy is only an expedient to enslave man to the machine and make him like it. - Frank Lloyd Wright

IDK. Carter set back race relations 50 years, due to his recent comment. Which did nothing to bolster the current administration nor the attitude of the country.

"Stupid is, as stupid does."

Brenda - posted on 09/28/2009

Wow - we really need another 'Reagan' after this current "Carter' administration! Although, Carter's admin seems to be more benign nowadays than Obama's =P

Bingo Gina!

"One of the traditional methods of imposing statism or socialism on a people has been by way of medicine. It’s very easy to disguise a medical program as a humanitarian project. Most people are a little reluctant to oppose anything that suggests medical care for people who possibly can’t afford it.”- Ronald Reagan

Government is not reason; it is not eloquent; it is force. Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master.

Yes, the graph showing the trees is way off mark. They forget to take in account that we have planted more trees than we started with, so now we have more forests. They just want our kids to think we are the scorge of the earth, and that someday our population will need to be controlled.

Brenda - posted on 09/24/2009

Wow - Maleasha you are on a roll! =) LOVE THEM!

I just watched that video too. I got to about 3 minutes and then I couldn't watch any more. They are using inflated numbers, and words that are supposed to induce anxiety and urgency. UGH! "Trashing the place!" *shakes head*

Never trust a government that doesnt trust its own citizens with guns
--Thomas Jefferson

A patriot must always be ready to defend his
country against his government.
--Edward Abbey (1927-1989) US author

Once a government is committed to the principle of
silencing the voice of opposition, it has only one way to go,
and that is down the path of increasingly repressive measures,
until it becomes a source of terror to all its citizens and
creates a country where everyone lives in fear
--Harry S. Truman

Ok, I love this quote!

The government is merely a servant -- merely a temporary servant; it cannot be its prerogative to determine what is right and what is wrong, and decide who is a patriot and who isn't. Its function is to obey orders, not originate them. -Mark Twain

If you once forfeit the confidence of your fellow citizens, you can never regain their respect and esteem. It is true that you may fool all of the people some of the time; you can even fool some of the people all of the time; but you can't fool all of the people all of the time. -Abraham Lincoln

Liberals think we're just paranoid, but the truth is, kids are innocent. They believe almost everything they hear, and if they show this in schools and discuss it. It's brainwashing. That's why I'm so glad my kids aren't old enough to be in school yet. I'm lucky enough to be living in a very conservative community, but I'm still debating on homeschooling my children when they get to that age.
